Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 8/5/13

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Well, this challenge should really not take too much work today. If you look below, you will notice that there are only two real challenges, "L.D. Winter" and "Who's the Big Winner?" Now, "Who's The Big Winner" will likely provide about a hundred and seventy kills or so, as it completely takes care of "Fire When Ready." That number may be higher depending on the gametypes you pick. The "L.D. Winter" challenge will also add some kills because, unlike Nightfall where you can skip everything, Winter Contingency has some people that you actually have to kill. Expect it to add another fifty or so kills, therefore completing this challenge.

Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR
Well, besides this challenge which is asking you to score fifty kills today in multiplayer Matchmaking, there is one other multiplayer Matchmaking challenge. The "Who's the Big Winner?" challenge, however, will almost definitely take care of all these. You get about twelve kills per game on average so fifteen games will give you well over a hundred and fifty kills. Not really much more to see here. You can likely get this done even faster by playing in gametypes like Grifball or objective-based gametypes. Good luck.

Halo 4 Campaign Weekly Challenges - 8/5/13

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:

The Coming Of The Dawn - Complete Dawn solo on Legendary difficulty. - 4000 XP
This is the first level of Halo 4 and, most likely, the easiest as it will attempt to re-introduce the player into Halo and showcase any changes made from Reach. In other words, it is our Winter Contingency for Halo 4. You can die as much as you want for this challenge as there is now "without dying" stipulation. This level does allow you to fall back and keep your distance so utilize the Magnum and BR during the Observations deck sequence and the exterior sequence. Does not take too long to complete so these are really easy credits. I would be more worried about "The Conductor" challenge as the level is a lot harder than Dawn.

Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 8/5/13

The Challenges:

The Pistolero - Get 7 kills with a Secondary Weapon in a single match. - 1000 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Boltshot. You will not be scoring many kills with the Plasma Pistol so do not even worry about it. Since SWAT is an available playlist, this challenge is actually extremely easy to complete. Stick to the Magnum on smaller maps like Haven and go for headshots on your unshielded foes. The Boltshot is also viable and best used on a map like Adrift which has a lot more close quarters areas and in objective gametypes. You will need to spend a game exclusively focusing on these weapons if you plan on getting seven kills and completing this challenge. Good luck.

Quick On The Trigger - Earn 5 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 1000 XP
Combat skill medals, for those who do not already know of them, include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper Medals. Granted, a lot of these are based off of luck, a few can be farmed, namely the Reload This and Headcase medals, which you will be best off trying for with a Precision Weapons (i.e. DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Covenant Carbine). Now, you need to score four in a single match but this is not really a difficult challenge if you are in a long match with a lot of players. Dominion would be my preferred gametype, though you can also have great success with Capture the Flag as those games typically go the entire time.

Halo 4 War Game Monthly Challenges - 8/4/13

 Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Monthly Challenge:
To The Victor Go The Spoils - Win 75 matchmaking War Games matches. - 20000 XP
You knew it was going to come back to this challenge, right? Though, three months without it was rather nice, but I really just don't like the idea of Monthly Challenges that much. Just not a lot you can do with them. Regardless, here we go. Eighty games also means that you need to win about three games a day this month. That will put you at ninety as long as you play every single day. In reality, they will probably give challenges each day requiring that many kills, so this should be partially done for us.

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.

Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 8/2/13

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:

The Kill-O-Tron - Earn 3 Multikill medals in a single match. - 1000 XP
So, Grifball is still here since it was introduced into matchmaking some time ago. Due to that addition, this challenge is easy as hell and will take absolutely no time to accomplish. First off, a multikill is earned when you score multiple kills within four and a half seconds of each other. With two kills this will be a Double Kill but you can take this up to ten kills for a Killionaire (nine multikills). Now, Grifball has you equipped only with Gravity Hammers and Energy Swords. If you have yet to venture into this playlist, it will take some adjustment from Reach, but not much. You can play up to five rounds in a close game so you have plenty of time to score these multikills. Dominion is another options if Grifball does not agree with you.

Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 8/1/13

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:

To Be Precise - Get 50 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon. - 1000 XP
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, your average number of kills should jump up a little, though fifty kills will remain well out of range for almost all players in 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. Expect this challenge to take three to four games to complete.
