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

The Challenges:
Drilled - Get 15 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon in a single match. - 1000 XP
I wonder if the XP for this challenge will ever go back up. Probably not. Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category. Now, some playlists, like SWAT, have you exclusively using these weapons and these are your best bets for completing these challenges. As all these games require sixty kills now, but your average number of kills should jump up a little putting fifteen just in range of a regular game. As well, objective gametypes are good for this challenge as there is no kill limit and you can exclusively use a precision weapons in your loadouts. This does need to be completed in a single game so expect this to take two or three games to accomplish.

Drop Bears! - Assassinate 3 Players in a single match. - 1200 XP
Well, this challenge is back down to demanding three assassinations in a single game before. This will be a moderately difficult challenge for most so expect to spend a little time on it. You can trigger an assassination animation by holding the melee button behind an enemy. The animation needs to mostly complete for it to count. Now, Team Slayer Pro had been the best playlist for me to get assassinations, but that is now gone so we need other playlists. I have had luck in FFA Regicide on maps like Haven or Adrift (more Haven than the other one) which means stick to smaller maps. Dominion might be worthwhile for some, but that maps are much larger so you will likely need to hide in the bases. Expect to spend two or three games working on this one. Utilize Promethean Vision and Invisibility when you can.
