Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 8/23/13

The Challenges:
Fully Automated - Get 15 kills with an Automatic Loadout Weapon in a single match. - 1000 XP
There are only three Automatic Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 and those are the Assault Rifle, the Strom Rifle, and the Suppressor. You will likely not get as many kills with these weapons as precision weapons without actively trying for them since the effective range of the weapons is so much less. Whichever gun you pick is up to you but this info my help you make a decision. The Suppressor has the widest spread but seems to have the most powerful shot. The Storm Rifle has the smallest spread but the weakest shots. The AR is pretty comfortable with a medium spread and medium damage, therefore making it the most deadly, in my opinion. Large team gametypes or objective gametypes on smaller maps like Adrift or Haven will serve you best for getting these kills. Fifteen can actually be challenging, so go for the larger objective gametypes and only use these weapons.

Infected - Win 3 matchmaking Flood matches. - 1200 XP
So, it seems that we have returned to the "do a bunch of difficult shit, get little reward" version of the War Games daily challenges. What joy! Anyway, Flood is a technically a Free-for-all mode though you will see yourself divided by teams. Unlike Reach, the Flood/Zombies are much more powerful in Halo 4 thanks to the thruster pack and the seemingly longer lunge range of the sword. As well, zombies also have shields so if you are one, hope is not lost. If you have a lot of campers, make use of invisibility so you can surprise them. If you are a survivor, make sure you utilize the Magnum at range and the Shotgun close up. Three matches will take a while to win, but it is doable if you start early enough in the day and keep at it.
