Halo Reach Daily Challenges 31/12/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 4000cR

Any game mode. Got a bit of MP and a bit of Campaign today but you only need to get 51 kills minimal. Maybe throw in some Firefight to get a nice boost, custom or Matchmade.


I'm Rubber, You're Glue - Earn 1 sticky grenade Kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 1000cR

Games with Elites works best due to the spawning with Plasmas. Invasion has the long game time needed, but Elite slayer works just as well.


There Are Many Like... - Kill 50 enemies with precision weapons in the Campaign today - 1000cR

DMR, Sniper, Needle Rifle & Focus Rifle. Might I suggest ONI and Nightfall. Both have the Sniper (Nightfall with a load of ammo, ONI a little further on up on a walkway) and ONI gives you plenty of DMR ammo.


Just a Shower - Complete any Campaign mission on Normal or harder with Thunderstorm on - 4000cR

Nightfall, run it.

Friday, December 30, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 30/12/2011

Fire When Ready - Kill 30 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1100cR

A fair bit of Multiplayer to get through today. So with half the challenges involving some close combat, might I suggest some Grifball or Maybe some Living dead.


Close Talking - Earn 20 kills with close quarters combat in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Over the course of 4 games, 5 per game minimal with 7 in one. Grifball is what I'm saying. Swing that hammer, slice with that sword and punch a few faces in.


T-Hug It Out - Kill 7 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 1400cR

Hold onto that Grifball bomb, you run the game and by running the game, make it last long enough to get your 7 kills. Simple and easy. You can get 10x as many in a game if you push it.


Credits for Completion - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2400cR

Play, stay, win, lose. Whatever, just make it to the end and don't quit.

Thursday, December 29, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 29/12/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

Any game mode. Well it's Thursday so you can more or less assume it'll be best done in Firefight.


Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 2400cR

Heretics in Arcadefight are a good source of Elites, as are the final waves of Scoreattack x2 games.


Survivor - Earn 7 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Killing Sprees at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100. Special Sprees at 5, 10 & 15. So weapons like a Shotgun or Sniper will boost you. Swords, Splatters, Hammers, Sticks & Wheelman are the other likely ones.


Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2343cR

Regular old boring Firefight gives a bunch, but that is a bit harder than you're regular explosive Arcadefight which gives 1 a round I believe. Either way, doubles up and see what carnage you can cause.

Wednesday, December 28, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 28/12/2011

Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Some good games are Grifball and Multi Team for this challenge, the chaos always makes for easy killings. In fact, you can do this in one game of GB.


Above the Law - Complete a Round in Firefight Matchmaking without dying - 2000cR

Gruntpocolypse on a large map works out well. The biggest weapons they have are Fuel Rod Cannons, and provided you keep your range from them, they won't attack you.


Eyes in the Sky - Kill 10 enemies with the Designator in ONI on Heroic - 1500cR

Rally Point Alpha. Use on Wraith & Elite with Grunts. That's about 5-6 Kills. Revert to last saved, go again.


The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Play the games. No more, no less. Pick something short & sweet. Living Dead EG.

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 27/12/2011

One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 2250cR

A couple of games of whatever you want, however with the Elites you need to kill, might I make a suggestion?


Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

For Elites, Firefight games of Arcadefight doubles works really well. The Heretic rounds give you a good 15-20 Elites, and in doubles you might just be able to get as many as you need. However, the Heretic rounds are ata 50/50 chance of coming, so you might be out of luck for that. One Arcadefight (in doubles) and one Scoreattack x2 should set you on the the right path.


Huck It, Luck It - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Cloud, Tough Luck, and Catch on - 2000cR

No motion tracker, enemies throw grenades more frequently and the enemy dodges the projectiles you send at them more frequently. Nightfall for all the obvious reasons, such as the level being doable n 5 minutes without firing more than a few bullets.


Up Close and Personal - Kill 5 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2343cR

Shotguns, Hammers, Swords and your own fist. Only 5 so that's easily doable in one game. Grifball (Hammers, Swords, Fist) & Living Dead (Shotgun, Swords) for ease.

Monday, December 26, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 26/12/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

Scoreattack x2 will help you here. Just enough enemies to get this in one run-through. Avoid Installation 04, AI while helpful, are kill stealers.


Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 50 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol - 1000cR

I'd say Gruntpocolypse if you're looking to do a couple of games today, but you can get all the FF challenges in one game. Do you SAx2 and pick a loadout with a pistol (I'd suggest shotgun) then, lay waste, after getting a spree or 2.


Points, Points - Score 20,000 points in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 1750cR

Every Medal you get gives you a little boost. If get a headshot rather than a kill, extra couple of points. Same for beatdowns, assassinations and Sticky kills. But, what you want to do, is build up your sprees. Killing, Shotgun & Sticky will be the most likely sprees. These add a multiplier to every kill you get, boosting your overall points.


Killing Spree - Earn a Killing Spree in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

Living Dead for easy kills, just take them out with the pistol when they're far away, and blow a hole in their chest when they're up close. Of, in regular games, stay away from the action in an objective game, but within range of your gun and within sight of the objective.

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 26/12/2011 Co-op Dash

Co-op Dash

Clear any Campaign mission on Heroic, in co-op, in 15 minutes or less

15343cR





Easy enough. Don't even need a second person, just a second controller. Nightfall is the runable level, doable in about 5 minutes. The final part (Past the gate) might have enemies. I think it depends on the amount of people. 3 can be fine, but 2 will more often than not. leave some enemies to kill.

Sunday, December 25, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 25/12/2011

Happy Holidays. Enjoy whatever it is you're celebrating.


One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

A single game of scoreattack for you, although SA doesn't give you many vehicles, So think about that and the other FF challenge.


Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2343cR

This one. Arcadefight gives you 1 Vehicle per Round I believe (Provided the map is big enough, beachhead has always been a good one) Some doubles will go down well.


Cannon Fodder - Kill 50 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today - 1000cR

Grunts, Grunts Everywhere. So Winter Contingency is what you want to play. Loads of Infantry there, Grunts & Jackals.


Iron Will - Complete a Campaign mission alone on Heroic or harder with the Iron Skull on - 2500cR

Run Nightfall. Always the easy way.

Saturday, December 24, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 24/12/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

This is the only FF challenge of the day, so to make it count, play some Scoreattack x2. This will give you enough enemies to take out, though I'd avoid Installation 04. It's a good map, but kills will be limited, don't want no AI stealing them from you.


Throwing Fireballs - Kill 2 enemies with grenades in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 1000cR

Multi-Team King of the hill works well. Lots of Carnage in a small area to act on. If you need a little more time to get the challenge then I might suggest some Invasion. Long game times and defined areas on where to capture. The whole 2 rounds thing helps too.


Explosive Ordnance Distribution - Earn 3 kills with ordnance weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Grenade Launchers, Plasma Launchers, Concussion Rifles, the big stuff that goes boom really. Action sack has gametypes perfectly suited for this, Boom Ball, Dino Blasters, Splockets; these are the games you want.


Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4343cR

Just play games you can play well at and win them. That's all I can say.

Friday, December 23, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 23/12/2011

Sorry for being late, work has been hectic. Company Quake 3 games are rather fast paced.


Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 5500cR

Simplicity. Grifball for Speed, anything else for anything else. Most of the challenges today are Grifballable but there are a couple of others that require a more delicate touch.


Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Objective games where you are faster than the objective holder work well. They usually don't have a motion tracker either, so feel free to run behind them for the easy kill.


Vengeance Found - Earn your 'Revenge' in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Remember the guy who killed you, find him, the kill him. Grifball is rather easy as everyone is in the open.


Twin Trips - Earn 2 Triple Kills in the same match in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

Still Grifballing. Though Living Dead can be just as good, if not better. It's more one sided.

Thursday, December 22, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 22/12/2011

I feel the cR rewarded for these challenges are, a bit iffy.
1000 kills on a specific map = 3000cR,
125 on a specific map = 1100cR,
120 kills = 3200cR?


Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

Simple. A game of scoreattack x2 on any map will do this, although with the other challenges, this one will most likely just fall into place.


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Grunts are the ones who fall to headshots easily. DMRs & Pistols in Gruntpocolypse, there's no excuse for less than 90% Headshot rating (Unless you like explosives, then you are forgiven)


Fortified Court - Kill 1000 enemies on Courtyard in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Keep none of the aboving in Scoreattack until you get this map, then choose your gametype of choice from the list. 1000 kills is around 8 games. Depends on the gametype chosen. I'd stay SAx2 if possible, that gives you the most


Heroic Spelunking - Kill 125 enemies on Glacier on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking - 1100cR

Same as above.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 21/12/2011

Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

A few games of anything should do it for you. Grifball for speed but you'll want to hit up the other multiplayer challenge first.


Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 2400cR

Scoreattack x2 & Arcadefight are the games that'll give you the most Elites.


The Little Guys - Kill 75 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 1000cR

The first levels, ONI and very much Winter will give you a tonne of Grunts to kill. Just go hunting.


Streaky Shooter - Earn 7 sprees in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1750cR

Can be done over many games, which is good. I'd say for speed, Living Dead. Zombie, Shotgun and Killing Sprees all at 5. So a few of those and you'll be done.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 20/12/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2250cR

Any game mode, work for other challenges and this one will come in process.


J.H. Death Machine - Kill 70 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher - 1250cR

Scoreattack x2 works nicely. Use the bounce to aim where the grenade explodes. Angle it right to get the enemies within the radius.


Points Pyramid - Score 100,000 points on any Campaign mission - 3500cR

Long Night of Solace from Rally Point Alpha, then as close to LASO (Legendary, All Skulls On) as possible. The more skulls and the harder it is, the more points. just fly around shooting the enemies, that's all there is to it.


Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

SWAT & Snipers works well for this. Only 5 kills so 10% of a slayer game. Don't need headshots, but they help. You can play any gametype provided you've got a DMR, Sniper, Needle Rifle or Focus Rifle.

Monday, December 19, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 19/12/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

A game of Scoreattack will get you this challenge, but there is another challenge that requires you to kill 150 enemies in Firefight so this one should come while getting that one.


Helping Hand - Earn 10 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2200cR

Over the next 24 hours(ish). Not too bad, Invasion and its Co-op Plasma Pistol fun should give you this challenge. Just call out target, focus fire and shield pop your way to victory.


Cannon Fodder - Kill 100 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today - 1250cR

Generally Grunts and lower class Jackals. So the first few mission, Winter & ONI are quite good for this one. Grenade fun time.


Heroic Holdout - Kill 150 enemies on Holdout on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking - 1125cR

Scoreattack, and keep voting nope till you get to this map. Then choose a gametype.

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 19/12/2011 Endure: The Return

Endure: The Return

Complete four sets on any Firefight map in co-op play on Heroic or harder

30000cR





Nice and simple, provided you can still do it the normal way. This challenge is one of the easiest. You don't need to be in Firefight matchmaking, this can all be done custom game style.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=70482

Here is the 1,000,000 points in 10 minutes gametype. Make a few adjustments, remove invisibility, and jump in with a friend or 2. Not got a friend? Use a second controller.

Sunday, December 18, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 18/12/2011

One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

A single game of anything in the Scoreattack playlist will work here. Focus on the other FF challenge.


Heroic Overwatch - Kill 150 enemies on Overlook on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Scoreattack and keep none of the aboving till you get the map you want. It'll take a couple of games of Scoreattack, but at least this way you can choose the map.


... Got a Triple Double - Earn 3 Double Kills in the same match in Multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Only Double kills count, triples, overs, not worth it for this challenge. Get 2 kills, stop, wait, kill again. Gametypes for this one are Living Dead and Grifball. All gametypes work fine though, these are just the easiest ones.


Multiplier - Earn 3 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 3000cR

Same as above, except the Triples & Overs are worth it nd there's no need to stop after 2 kills. Just keep on killing.

Saturday, December 17, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 17/12/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

Start Firefight and kills stuff. A Scoreattack x2 game will work fine for the once round.


This is My Rifle... - Earn 40 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2600cR

SWAT and Snipers for the easy scores. DMR, Sniper, Needle rifle & Focus Rifle. These are the weapons you want to get your hands on.


Killagruntjaro! - Earn 35 multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 1750cR

double Kills and above for the challenge. Headshots, Explosives and other 1 hit killers are what you want. Corvette for the easy rooms filled with enemies.


Deathless Package - Complete The Package on Legendary without dying - 4400cR

Reach the end of the level in anyway, then save and quit before finishing. Then, load the game and reach the end before exploding or being shot up me.

Friday, December 16, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 16/12/2011

Fire When Ready - Kill 30 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1100cR

Simple enough. A minimal of 4 games to play today so no need to rush it. Though Grifball with give you this in one if you play it... well, not right, but when focused on killing.


Participation Counts - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2400cR

Just play them. Not hard really.


Streaky Shooter - Earn 5 sprees in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2850cR

Not in one game so it's over the course of today. Killing sprees will probably be your common ones, but if you want to really speed it up, Living Dead works brilliantly. Shotgun sprees, Killing Sprees and Zombie killing sprees.


... Got a Triple Double - Earn 3 Double Kills in the same match in Multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Living Dead or Grifball for the carnage and the easy kills.

Thursday, December 15, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 15/12/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

Simple enough. You'll end up playing a couple of games anyway unless you're very lucky. This is your standard kill everything challenge that you'll get through the other challenges anyway. Enjoy.


A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

10 kills without dying, or 5 kills with a Shotgun, Sniper, Sword, Vehicle splatters or Plasma Grenades to name a few. You fight Grunts for a while so it should be easy to get it right off the bat.


Fortified Court - Kill 125 enemies on Courtyard in Firefight Matchmaking - 2500cR

Simple, bet done with Scoreattack x2 as you can keep saying no till you get this map and you'll get enough enemies to kill for the once round. If not, try Rocketattack or Sniperattack. The enemies vary a bit buy if you're lucky, you'll get it in one.


Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Scoreattack x2 if you're Soloing, but the Heretic rounds in Arcadefight (Certianly when it's Doubles not 4 player) give you waves of the Elites to kill on top of the others that appear throughout the rounds.

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 14/12/2011

Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 5500cR

Enter and kill. Grifball for speed but anything will do. You'll be playing a minimal of 7 for all challenges today anyway, so choose what you're good at and play that.


Heroic Holdout - Kill 125 enemies on Holdout on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking - 3300cR

Scoreattack and veto till you get the map you want, this one. Then, select the gametype you want, if preferable, Scoreattack x2, this will give you all the enemies you need. Rocketattack I think give you enough.


Deathless Package - Complete The Package on Legendary without dying - 4400cR

If you can just geet to the end/near the end, then you're done, doesn't matter if you die in the process. Save and quit, load the game back up and run that final few seconds.


Home Field Advantage - Win 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2050cR

Win. Play the games you're good at. Get a team that's good. Then you're done.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 13/12/2011

One Spartan Army - Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3500cR

A few rounds of Scoreattack x2 will give you this in 2 games. You can also try a Firefight game, will still take you a couple but you'll be given a bit more breathing room.


One Game, One Spawn - Complete a Firefight Matchmaking game without dying - 2000cR

Some gametypes are easier tan others. Gruntpocolypse on larger maps is very easy, the only trouble are the Fuel Rod wielding grunts, as fragile as they are, they can still 1 hit you if they get a good hit.


Nature vs. Nurture - Kill 15 Moa in Winter Contingency on Normal or harder - 4000cR

I don't think you need help fighting an enemy that can't fight back. There are a few of them after you get in the jeep, but you can find the 2 at the beginning and keep reverting to last saved to save some time.


Killing Spree - Earn a Killing Spree in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

Easiest gametype to do this in, is one where you have an advantage. Such as Zombies, just get 5 kills in Zombies and you're done, and the zombies just fall over, very weak. Any game will work thoug, I've just found that one the best.

Monday, December 12, 2011

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 12/12/2011 ONI: LASO

ONI: LASO

Complete ONI, Legendary, All Skulls On (LASO)

20343cR





Not that bad of a challenge. Thanks to the beautiful Target Designator and the ability for it to recharge a couple of shots, you can wipe out a fair few enemies. There's also a nice amount of Rocket Launcher & Sniper ammo to begin with. Certainly a few Rough Spots but keep your distance and let your other Spartans take the fire.

http://halo.bungie.org/gameplay/reach_mythic/sb.html

Over to HBO because, why mess with what works.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 12/12/2011

Gunslinger - Kill 75 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2250cR

Right, simple enough, you need to win 3 games too so I'm sure you can put a few kills towards this depending on what you play. Grifball and Multi-Team for speed but anything with killing works fine.


Return of the Mack - Kill 35 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 3000cR

ONI, Nightfall, Long Night & Lone Wolf are good games for this. The Revert to last saved is also a good tactic to use once you've destroyed a large group of them.


Un, Deux, Trois - Win 3 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2900cR

Fishing Fishing, Win win. What else do you want from me? Play what you're good at and games that don't usually end in draws.


Huck It, Luck It - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Cloud, Tough Luck, and Catch on - 2000cR

You can die, there's no time limit, just barge your way through. Though if you want, mix it in with the LASO Challenge. Should prove fun.

Sunday, December 11, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 11/12/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any mode at all. We got some Firefight & Multiplayer so this one is a breeze. Firefight always works through this one nice enough.


The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Just complete them. Nothing else is required.


The House of Blue Leaves - Kill 177 enemies in a single Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic - 1300cR

A fairly large amount. Not doable in Scoreattack (As far as I know), the best way to get this one would be to do some Doubles and select Arcadefight. Arcadefight is a 3 round game, it might still be a bit of a squeeze for 2 people, might need to steal some kills.


This is My Rifle... - Earn 77 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1400cR

SWAT & Snipers are good games for this challenge and most weapons with a scope.

Saturday, December 10, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 10/12/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

A game of Scoreattack x2 will give you enough to kill. A Arcadefight game in the doubles playlist will also give you more than enough.


Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 60 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1350cR

Needler, Assault rifle, Plasma repeater. Invasion starting weapons really. These are what you want to use.


Light Fuse, Run Away - Kill 4 enemies with grenades in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 500cR

Only 500... bit cheap isn't it. Anyway, best way for this, plasma Grenades and long game times. AKA, Invasion again.


On Tilt - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with the Tilt Skull on - 1750cR

Nightfall, just run it.

Friday, December 9, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 09/12/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 4000cR

With all Multiplayer today, you may or moay not get this one before the other challenges. 12 Games minimal for other challenges and depending on what you play, that leaves a lot of room for error. Go for the rest of the challenges today and then finish this one off, if need be, with whatever seems best.


Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

A single game. SWAT and Snipers works well for 5. I don't think you'd even need the extended time for not reaching the amount of kills you need. Slayer Games often start with either DMR or AR and the Invasion Gametype will Defo give you a DMR, Sniper, Needle Rifle or Focus Rifle at some point.


Freelancing - Earn at least 23 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 10000cR

A nice large amount of points here. 23 is a high amount, the best pace to go for this is Grifball. The kills are high and all you need to do is hold the bomb to command the game.


Who's the Big Winner? - Win 12 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 10000cR

WIN. Can't really say much, play what you're good at.

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 08/12/2011

One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

You get around 115 in Scoreattack at the lowest amount. So 1 game will give you this challenge rather easily. Just try to get them before they kill themselves.


J.H. Death Machine - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher - 2000cR

Scoreatack x2 will give you the GL, Arcadefight too. So from there, aim and shoot. You do more damage so you should be able to use the EMP function to get a closer explosion and still kill them.


A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

A killing Spree at 10 kills. That' all you need to do.


The House of Blue Leaves - Kill 111 enemies in a single Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic - 2000cR

Easy enough, Scoreattack will give you 119 enemies in Gruntpocolypse, most other gametypes give you a few more to kill. If you need to get a bunch more, Doubles firefight and Arcade fight will set you well.


Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 07/12/2011

Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 5500cR

A simple challenge, I'd say some Grifball & Multi-Team to finish this one quickly, but you may want to stick some SWAT or Snipers in there to grab the other Matchmaking challenge.


Support Structure - Earn 30 assists in Firefight Matchmaking - 2250cR

Doubles will work best. Stick with your teammate and focus fire. Work out how many bullets to put into an enemy, where to place an Overcharged Plasma Shot and let your friend take them out.


Foggy Notion - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Cloud and Famine on - 1500cR

It's campaign, Nighfall run it. Do I really need to say this anymore?


This is My Rifle... - Earn 100 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1500cR

Over the course of today, the time it takes, not worth the cR in my mind. But, if you're a completionist, SWAT & Snipers will get you where you want to go.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 06/12/2011

More of less getting back on track. Should be fine from tomorrow onwards.

One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

A single Game of Scoreattack anything is what you need. 100 is such a low amount.


The T.G. Opposition - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun - 1000cR

Grunts, Brute and Elites will fall easily to the Shotgun, (More so in Scoreattacx x2 or Arcadefight) but Jackals & Skirmishers aren't as good. To fast, too protected, too small.


Like a Glove - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with the Catch Skull on - 2500cR

More grenades, that's all this skull causes. In fact, it can make it easier. Rather than shooting you, they'll throw grenades, easy to avoid. Plus, Heroic is still a run & gun game difficulty.


T-Hug It Out - Kill 6 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2400cR

Grifball & Living Dead for the simple way, but 6 kills with a melee weapon or your fist in any game is rather easy to come by.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 05/12/2011

More than a Handful - Kill 25 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

A few games of something will get you this. 25 isn't that many and there are 5 games to play overall today (Minimal) So yeah. Grifball is an easy 1 game.


Short, Controlled Bursts - Kill 100 enemies with automatic weapons in the Campaign today - 2500cR

Winter Contingency is a nice 600 rounds of AR ammo. Enjoy your Grunt Slaughtering.


Un, Deux, Trois - Win 3 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2900cR

Play the games you/your team/friends/whatever stranger you've got tied up next to you are good at, then just keep going at it.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 02/12/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 4000cR

It's all multiplayer today, and if you do it right it'll only take one game. So this one might be best finished off in Firefight.


Close Talking - Earn 40 kills with close quarters combat in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2600cR

Hammers, Swords, Shotguns and your own fists are all you need for this challenge. Grifball is where I'd put it, this challenge will be a breeze. Only requires one game (Provided people aren't looking for the quick win, and even ten it's still possible)


Fourth Horseman - Earn 4 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 3500cR

Once again, easy stuff for Grifball. Just time your swings right and it's easy. All you need is a double kill to add to this and you can get a good 10-15 in a single game (Then upwards with the triples and overs). If you struggle on an even footing, maybe some Zombies will work, easy 1 hit killers with a shotgun.


Double Double - Earn 2 Double Kills in the same match in Multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

Same as above really, kinda simple.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 01/12/2011

Wow, last month of the year. Start eating your advent calender chocolates guys.


Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any game mode and you've got a lot of Firefight to work through today, about 2-3 games worth depending on luck and skill. Firefight's often the fastest way for this anyway.


Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Now, I'd suggest either solo in Scoreattack x2 (The last round is very Elite Heavy) of Some ArcadeFight in the Firefight Doubles playlist (Preferably with a friend). The Heretic waves are filled with Elites.


The T.G. Opposition - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun - 3000cR

Sticking with the Scoreattack x2, the weapon set you want is the Pistol/Shotgun. This is a good set as the pistol gives headshots and the shotgun gives, well, shotgun kills. So you can get this challenge and the next one easily at the same time) Choose when to use what gun (Shotgun for wave 1, 3 & 5, Pistol 2, 3 & 4)


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Now, Arcadefight gives you the Shotgun/Grenade Launcher and Sniper/DMR sets. Both useful for these challenges. As rounds can mix up, it's up to you to select what weapons for what round. Maybe start with the shotgun though, once some of those skulls go on, you don't really want to stay too close to the action.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 30/11/2011

More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2500cR

Simple enough, kill a bunch of dudes. This'll probably add a few to your multikills too. Grifball or Multi-Team for some speed, other than that, play how you want.


Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2343cR

Again? Well, yeah. Firefight Limited works well, usually get a bunch of Vehicles but it's harder than your regular Firefight, I'd say Arcadefight on a large map through Firefight Doubles.


...Is a Virtue - Score 60,000 points in any Campaign mission with less than 3 deaths - 4500cR

Patience is not what's needed here. Long Night of Solace from Rally Point Alpha with as many skulls on as possible and as hard as possible. Then, blow shit up.


Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Speed, Stealth and Height, get one and then jump on someone and assassinate them. Objective games work best due to the disadvantage of the objective holder (Speed, lack of motion tracker)

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 29/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

Very simple. You got a bit of everything today so how you tackle this is up to you. A game of Scoreattack is all you need.


Support Structure - Earn 30 assists in Firefight Matchmaking - 2250cR

If you enter Doubles with a friend and select ArcadeFight, you'll be very strong, take a lot of damage and be able to work together to take down targets together. Plasma Pistols on shields and a couple of bullets to the gut will help here.


Return of the Mack - Kill 50 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 1700cR

Nightfall (Lots of Sniper Ammo and groups of Elites), Long Night (The ship is very Elite heavy) and Lone Wolf (Apart from a few Grunts at the beginning, practically all other enemies are Elites)


Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4343cR

Remember last week? Find games you are good at and then play them.

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 28/11/2011 Multiplicative

Multiplicative

Earn 200 Multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking this week

25000cR




I'm going with this challenged as I've already completed the Clear Eyes one already according to the site.


This is fairly easy. Each level up gives you another Multikill, so a 2 Double Kills is the same worth as a Triple Kill. Games filled with multikills? Grifball, Living Dead and Multi-Team are the games where I find they're most common. You can still get them in many other games just as easily (SWAT & Snipers, Splockets, anything where 1 hit kills are available) I just find those games work best.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 28/11/2011

A few, Glitches, I guess, with the challenges today. Apparently we have 5 Daily challenges, but one of them is a weekly, and the weekly challenge is last weeks weekly challenge.

You get that, I just about did. So I'll leave the weekly update for a bit.




Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Any gametype will work. Multi-Team and Grifball for speed though.


Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2343cR

Blarg. Regular Limited Firefight will give a bunch of vehicles on the larger maps, but it's not as easy to kill them. Arcade fight usually gives 1 per Round, enter into doubles and horde the kills.


Short, Controlled Bursts - Kill 200 enemies with automatic weapons in the Campaign today - 3000cR

Winter Contingency gives you Grunts and a bunch of AR ammo. Really, do you need much else, just play normal and mow them down.


Fortified Court - Kill 150 enemies on Courtyard in Firefight Matchmaking - 2250cR

Scoreattack will allow you to choose the level easier, though it'll take a couple of games. Still easy pickings though.

Sunday, November 27, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 27/11/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

You know the Drill. Firefight works best, and with the amount of enemies you need to dispatch for the other challenges, this is a no brainier. 2 Games of Firefight will do you up.


Take a Dip - Kill 1000 enemies on Waterfront in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Just a dip, 1000 kills is more like being thrown in at the deep end. Scoreattack is where you want to spend your time. Once you've entered SA, keep voting "none" till you get this map, then choose a game mode. Rinse, Repeat (About 8 times).


Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder - 2000cR

Some Killing sprees at 10, 20, 30 ,40 ,50 & 100 and then some Weapon ones at 5, 10 & 15. You might want to jump into some ArcadeFight. Snipers, Shotguns and Swords. 15 kills from each and that's 9 sprees, not including the Killing sprees on the way.


Make a Wish... - Earn a Running Riot in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 5000cR

This one is the toughy. 15 kills, no deaths. Best bet for this one, Living Dead. Play it smart, get as many kills as you can early on and stay far away from the action.

Saturday, November 26, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 26/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

After all the challenges, I believe that you'll still be short of 100 kills. The challenges are about getting small amounts of kills, or avoiding combat all together. So you can do whatever you want for this challenge. Put in some more MP to get the weekly, or just some Firefight to finish this challenge off easily.


Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Only 5 kills with a, DMR, Sniper, Needle Rifle or Focus Rifle, that's a low amount. SWAT or Snipers in the Slayer mode will easily be enough time.


Stronger, Harder - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Famine, Tough Luck, and Thunderstorm on - 4000cR

The mission where you don't need to do anything but run? Nightfall. Kill a couple of Elites, A grunt or 2 and in less than 5 minutes you'll be watching the end level cutscene.


Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2200cR

Speed, Stealth and Height. The 3 factors that can help you get this challenge. An enemy holding a Bomb/Flag will often loose a motion tracker and their speed, thus, an easy assassination. If you can get behind an enemy while they're fighting, you'll usually give them a surprise.

Friday, November 25, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 25/11/2011

More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2500cR

125 kills can be 10 games, could be 2. Pick the games you're good at and get you kills. A good challenge to assist with the weekly challenge.


Neuroscience - Kill 10 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2400cR

SWAT, Snipers are games that reward you for headshots. SWAT Objective games can help if you're limited by kill amounts. If you still can't, Invasion is the best shot. 24 Minutes and 5/6 tiers with a Headshotting weapon.


T-Hug It Out - Kill 6 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2400cR

Swords, Hammer, Shotguns and whatever else you can use to bludgeon your enemies. A Bomb, Flag, Skull or if you have none of those, your own Fists. Living Dead (Shotty & Swords) & Grifball (Melee, Hammers & Swords) are where I'd place myself.


A Solid Outing - Earn at least 15 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 1500cR

Grifball can take you to 70 kills + in a single game, but the old trick if that isn't for you, Multi-team. Rumble Pit is also good, first to 25.

Thursday, November 24, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 24/11/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

I think this one lies just outside the boundaries of one game of Scoreattack, but a second game is just an extra couple of thousand credits...


Scoped - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with precision weapons - 2000cR

Which is a good thing as this challenge and the next challenge are closely linked and it gives you a bit of breathing room. DMR, Needle Rifle, Sniper and the Focus Rifle are Precision weapons. The FR is the only one to not get headshots. Any enemy can easily be dispatched, but a Gruntpocolypse works wonders...


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

Because if you miss a few headshots or need to switch to your Pistol or use some Grenades, it's just assist on the extra game you'll need to play to reach the 120 enemies...


Survivor - Earn 7 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Once you've done the Gruntpocolypse, you'll be at around 115 kills, 1-10 kills away from the final 120 probably. So with this one, get into some Scoreattack x2 and use your killing sprees and Shotgun sprees to rack up the 7 sprees in 20 kills. Maybe throw a sticky spree in too.

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 23/11/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2250cR

Simple again. A bit of Campaign and a bit of Matchmaking today so it's possible to be done with them before this. A simple Scoreattack game will take care of most of this though.


Return of the Mack - Kill 35 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 3000cR

Nightfall, Long Night and Lone Wolf. These are the missions that work best. Just kill the Elites when they're in a group and revert, or just run around a lot.


Killing Frenzy - Earn a Killing Frenzy in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 4000cR

Stay far enough away from the action to not get killed, but close enough to get the kills. Objective games work well, but the best route I've taken is Infection. Kill early and kill as many as you can.


Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Speed, Height or Stealth. These are your options. A person holding a bomb/flag can be slow and loose a motion tracker. Easy pickings for a quick sneak attack.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 22/11/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any game mode. You've got 100 enemies in Firefight (1 game) and 7 games of Matchmaking, I'd say in total, on an average you'd reach just over 190 kills getting the challenges today (Looking at Slayer gameplay)


Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol - 2500cR

Gruntpocolypse is where you should go. The pistol will nicely hit the heads of those Grunts. Just remember to keep it loaded, pass by the resupply box once in a while.


Fourth Horseman - Earn 4 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Double kills are worth one, A triple kill on top is another one on top and so forth. So 1 Triple kill is worth 2 double kills. Something with many enemies, Chaos and easy kills (Multiteam, Rumble pit, Infection, SWAT and Grifball)


The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Stay in a game, play it till the end and get a boost on the weekly challenge. Tat's all you need to do.

Monday, November 21, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 21/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

A simple easy challenge. Same ass always, 100 enemies is less than a game or Scoreattack and with a mixture of these challenges, I'd guess you'd be breaking 200 by the end of the day.


More than a Handful - Kill 77 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3500cR

Grifball & Multi-team for the chaos and easy multikills. Any gamemode where you're killing your enemies works just as well though. I'd say anything from 7-2 games depending on what you play.


Killagruntjaro! - Earn 7 multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Multikills, as in Double kills. If you The enemies always spawn in groups of at least 4, so there's your Overkill with a Rocket launcher and that's 3 down. Gruntpocolypse is another easy one for this.


Be Vigilant - Score 80,000 points in any Campaign mission without dying - 3000cR

Start yourself in Long Night of Solace Rally Point Alpha as close to the LASO difficulty as you can. The points will rack up very, very quickly. Black eye, Tough Luck, Catch, Iron and Fog mean nothing in this part for this challenge (you're not allowed to die, so Iron is a must ave for extra points), and the Banshees just drop like flies after a few bullets.

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 21/11/2011 Clear Eyes, Full Hearts

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts

Win 50 games in multiplayer Matchmaking this week

30343cR




This one, is a bugger. You should pace yourself here. This is the one that always makes me want to give up the 100% weekly challenge.

Stick to the games you're good at and that can be won quickly. Importantly, games that end in a Win/Loss more frequently than a Draw. Objective games (More so Invasion) can take a long time and end in a draw.

If you get a team of 4 of you, you can work together better than a group of 4 individuals.

I'll be spending my time in Grifball and hopefully blast through as many as possible.

Sunday, November 20, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 20/11/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any game mode. Very simple, a bit of Firefight works wonders. If I might suggest the new Anniversary map. A very nice level to get this on.


Un, Deux, Trois - Win 3 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2900cR

Play and win. Can't say much more to this one. Play what you want.


Blast Radius - Kill 75 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades - 2500cR

Corvette is the best I've seen for this. Monster rooms where Grenades can pool, large explosions kill them all. Remember to keep stocked up though, make a run to get some once in a while and Grenades shot on the floor that kill enemies count towards this.


Roast 'em, Toast 'em - Kill 35 enemies while jet-packing in Exodus on Normal - 3000cR

Start from point Alpha, Pick up the Rocket launcher from the ODST and be holding down the Jet pack (Use) button as you get the kill. Find a group (Might I suggest the group of Grunts with Fuel Rods in the entrance to the Landing pad building) Blow them up, revert to saved.

Saturday, November 19, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 19/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

100 kills in any, come one. You can do that in your sleep (or one game of Firefight/Scoreattack)


This is My Rifle... - Earn 40 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2600cR

SWAT & Snipers are Precision Heavy, but all kills you get with the Sniper, DMR, Needle Rifle & Focus Rifle count towards this challenge.


Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 77 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4400cR

Assault rifle will be the most popular one here. Though the Repeater Rifle & Needler will also work. the gametype where you have all of these to start with, Invasion.


Return of the Mack - Kill 35 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 3000cR

Nightfall & Long night have many, many Elites. The whole Find a big group, kill them and revert to saved works well here.

Friday, November 18, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 18/11/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

With a bunch of Multiplayer challenges today(Which are moderately easy) this challenge looks like it'll bleed over into extra requirements. Firefight is quick, easy and often gives a few nice cR.


Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2200cR

A bit more tricky than the usual one. To get them in one game is still very easy. Speed, Stealth and Height are the things you want to have. To be able to quickly sprint/evade up behind while their distracted works wonders. The other way to do this is to Camo up and wait for them to pass. Find a usually occupied place,wait for someone to pass and then pounce. Also,Jumping down behind, or having an enemy jump down in front of you is rather nice too.


Above the Neckline - Kill 7 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2500cR

SWAT & Snipers works well. Any weapons that can headshot works well as 7 is a rather small amount. Invasion works very well due to long play times.


Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4343cR

Just play the games. If you're good and have a good team, you'll win. Actionsack for the fun, more random & lucky games.

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 17/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

Small time. 100 is a single game of Scoreattack x2. All the challenges today be done in a single game is enough to get all the challenges today.


Survivor - Earn 9 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Killing sprees at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 & 100. Special (Shotgun, Snipers, Sword etc) 5, 10 & 15.


Heroic Demon - Kill 20 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking on Heroic or harder - 2200cR

Scoreattack x2 should give you enough Elites, it maybe a bit of a squeeze but it should be fine.


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

Headshots. Pistol, DMR, Snipers & Needle Rifle are the weapons of choice. Also the only weapons you can use (From my disappearing memory)

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 16/11/2011

Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 5500cR

A bit of a grind. Add more to the weekly and speed through with Grifball/Multiteam.


One Game, One Spawn - Complete a Firefight Matchmaking game without dying - 2000cR

Doubles works well as you can play single round games rather than sets. Just keep your eyes open and your enemies distant.


Pod Kettle Black - Kill 20 Elite Drop Pods in The Long Night of Solace - 1200cR

Start from Rally Point Alpha and get to the Corvette. Take out the engines and stay beneath the ship. They ship will launch the blue bolts down at the planet, these are what you need to take out with your bullets.


You Want This, Don't You? - Earn 12 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 3000cR

SWAT & Snipers are good for this challenge, Objective based game for their time are good too (Invasion) DMR, Sniper, Needle Rifle, Focus Rifle. Use these for this challenge.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 15/11/2011

Happy Halo Anniversary day. 10 Years. I can't claim to have been their from the start, but I damn well did my best to catch up.


Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2250cR

Any mode, so Firefight for a quick fix but with all the other challenges, you'll very much overshoot this. So go for the others and this one will come naturally.


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

A couple of Gruntpocolypse games are what I find work best. DMR + Pistol = Easy Headshots on Grunts. A bit of a grind and you need to aim carefully, but nothing impossible.


Deathless Pillar - Complete The Pillar of Autumn on Legendary without dying - 5000cR

I'm assuming this is the Reach version and not the new Anniversary edition. As you know, the lovely save and quit glitch works nicely. Just get to the end of the level and before the end, save and quit, then work your way to the end without being killed. Shouldn't be that hard.


Up Close and Personal - Kill 8 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 1600cR

Shotgun,. Sword, Hammer, Melee. Grifball & Living Dead is where you'll mostly get these. Those games are, for the majority, Close combat. Any game can work though, provided you got your fist at the ready.

Monday, November 14, 2011

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 14/11/2011 Single Wield

Single Wield

Earn 200 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking

20343cR




Your Pistol kills are what you want here. Both Plasma & Bullet Pistol kills will count. The best way to get this challenge. In my opinion, SWAT. That pistol is a 1 shot headshot kill and SWAT will gladly get you a bunch of kills. Objective or Slayer, makes no difference. Any gametype will work in the long run, just make sure you've got a pistol to get the final blow with.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 14/11/2011

Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

3000 for 50 kills, you can get that halfway through a game, unless there's a hidden catch with not being killed. Who knows, play whatever, it's an easy stuff.


Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Just the one assassination, so no need to worry about trying to find it. It'll eventually come during the games and then that's it. Best way to get it, have a speed, height and motion tracker advantage. Objective games.


Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4343cR

Can't overly force this on. Play games you're good at and your friends are good at. That's all you can really do. Actionsack for more luck related games.


Deathless Package - Complete The Package on Legendary without dying - 4400cR

Not easy but not hard. If you just get to the end of the level and then save and quit before you finish. Once you've done that, reload the game and finish. Bit cheaty, but it works.

Sunday, November 13, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 13/11/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2000cR

100, such a low amount. Other challenges, with Flat Tire in there, enjoy your long Firefight sessions.


Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

This one is the biggest bugger of them all. I've always found that Arcadefight works best with 1 vehicle every round. Play it in doubles and destroy as many of the buggers as you can. Go in with a partner to even things up.


Golden Tree City - Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in a Banshee, fast and low, while on New Alexandria, on Legendary - 4500cR

This one, somewhat awkward. Second time this has popped up and I don't think it'll be much nicer this time. Somewhere on this level, fairly low, is an always boosting Banshee (You can tell by the blue trails). Apparently the best place is near the club. I might have to try finding him and Recording a run through. No promises.


Headshot Honcho - Kill 9 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2160cR

SWAT is very headshot based. Pistol & DMR, both good weapons. Snipers can also work so play that if you're better off with those weapons. If you need more time, Invasion is good, 5/6 tiers have weapons capable of headshots.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 12/11/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any game mode, once again very simple. Move onto the other challenges and then finish this one up with whatever you need. Usually Firefight will get you a big boost.


You Want This, Don't You? - Earn 12 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 3000cR

SWAT, Snipers and Invasion will work. SWAT Objective will allow you to get a bunch of kills without it affecting game progress (usually)


Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder - 2000cR

Killing Sprees at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 and Specials at 5, 10, 15 (Shotgun, Snipers, Swords, Hammers, Splatter, Wheelman etc.)


Roast 'em, Toast 'em - Kill 35 enemies while jet-packing in Exodus on Normal - 3000cR

~Start at Rally Point Alpha, Grab that Rocket Launcher, then hold that use button as you get the kill. Keep reverting to last save at a large group of enemies. Done in no time.

Friday, November 11, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 11/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

This be a small amount. Just a single game of Firefight will get you the is challenge. The other challenges won't give you the amount of kills you need for this alone, but how you play them might give you a big enough boost to get over half way.


Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Objective based games are always the best as they generally have the objective carrier at a disadvantage. Lack of Motion tracker & less speed. So if you've got Camo, Speed or Height (All 3 is best) then you're set for this achievement.


Go Right Ahead Folks - Earn a First Strike in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

the more rounds the better. I might suggest something like Grifball. Grifball allows you to have 3-5 rounds which re very short. Just throw yourself at the enemy at the beginning and time your swing right to get that first strike medal.


Pod Kettle Black - Kill 15 Elite Drop Pods in The Long Night of Solace - 2343cR

Start from Rally Point Alpha (In the Sabre) and then keep playing till you need to take out the engines. Once you've done that, move to the belly of the Ship and watch for the Blue streaks heading towards the planet. These are drop pods, select your Gun and blast at them where they'll be. The ship launches 6 at a time (groups of 3 on the left & right) they also continue for a long time so don't worry if you miss a few.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 10/11/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 4000cR

Not the largest amount but still fairly substantial. 3 Games of Scoreattack and then a little more of a boost from wherever else you want it. Got some Campaign to do today.


Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 2400cR

The best way to get a bunch of Elites is to hit up the Scoreattack x2. That last round has a bunch of the buggers. Many are invisible though so watch out for that. The plus side, they're all yours.


Tip of the Spear: LASO - Complete Tip of the Spear, Legendary, All Skulls On (LASO) - 13000cR

More of a weekly than Daily and Campaign than Firefight, but whatever. Points are on a bit of a low side but still worth it. http://halo.bungie.org/gameplay/reach_mythic/tots.html The first bit is a bugger and a half and the final bit when on the Whirly bird can be tricky too, but the rest of it is rather skippable thanks to vehicular sections and Jet Packs.

Take a Dip - Kill 150 enemies on Waterfront in Firefight Matchmaking - 2500cR

Single Player scoreattacks enables you to have more choices in you map selection so that's where you need to go. Play 2 games on it and be done.

Misspelling happen :P

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 09/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

A small amount. 1 game of Scoreattack will sort you out here. Once again we've got a bit of everything so do whatever. You feel to get this one.


Killagruntjaro! - Earn 25 multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 3000cR

Gruntpocolypse will work fine for the challenge so you can do that, or if you want something with a bit more bang, Rocket attack wwill set you up perfectly. Find a couple of groups, fire away and watch the multikills stream in.


A Side of Huevos - Kill 40 enemies with Sniper Rifle headshots in Nightfall on Normal - 3000cR

Fairly simple this one. Just keep following the, find a large group, unleash hell on them and then revert to last saves strategy. Good places are the first Sniping engagement and then where the militia are.


Killing Frenzy - Earn a Killing Frenzy in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 4000cR

A very challenging one. Need to be close enough to the action to get the kills but not close enough to be killed. 10 in a row is hard. What you need is an advantage. The Scorpion/Banshee can deal a tonne of damage and you are rather protected. The downside being you become public enemy number 1. Gametypes such as Infection can work very well, you just have to kill early.

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 08/11/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2250cR

Any game mode. You got some of everything today. You'll most likely get this before finishing all the challenges, but Firefight is always the best way to go about this quickly.


Support Structure - Earn 30 assists in Firefight Matchmaking - 2250cR

Plasma shield stripping is the best shot you get. 30 is a very large amount though, try a couple of pistol shots into a Grunt and let your friends take him out. Once again though, playing with randoms might get you this challenge, or the best bet is to team up with a friend and take this on together.


Eyes in the Sky - Kill 20 enemies with the Designator in ONI on Heroic - 2500cR

Keep that Target Designator stocked, it'll come in handy and head towards the AA Gun. Blow up the area near the Gun/Where the enemy are being dropped off and watch the kills rise. Once you've done that, revert to last saved and do it again.


Participation Counts - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2400cR

Start the game, finish the game. That's all you have to do.

Monday, November 7, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 07/11/2011

More than a Handful - Kill 25 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

Simple enough a game or 2 depending on what you play. Grifball/Multi-team will work out nicely for a quick fix.


Nature vs. Nurture - Kill 15 Moa in Winter Contingency on Normal or harder - 4000cR

Kill the bird like things. There are a bunch once you get in the Jeep, I'm not sure if running them over counts as a kill though, so just jump out and shoot them a couple of times.


Leadership Element - Kill 45 enemy leaders in the Campaign today - 2200cR

Enemy leaders are often Elites. Nightfall is full of the buggers and that Sniper is filled with a lot of ammo. Find an area where they're are a lot of leaders and shoot them, followed by a quick revert to last saved.


Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4343cR

Play the games you're good at and win them. One of these things where you can't really overly force them. Avoid FFA games, multi-teams and Objective games that end in draws fairly easily.

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 07/11/2011 Dedication/Time

Dedication/Time

Complete 10 Daily Challenges this week

25000cR



Haven't had this one in a while. 10 challenges is a very small amount. You can be done by Wednesday if you get all of them today & tomorrow. Thing is to do as many as you can to start off. As long as you do 2 a day, Friday is where you'll be finished by. Pick your challenges.

Sunday, November 6, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 06/11/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

A single game of Scoreattack x2 will get you this, but you'll want to make sure the map you play is Holdout. So you'll be playing 2 games on that level anyway.


Just Holdout - Kill 150 enemies on Holdout in Firefight Matchmaking - 2500cR

2 games on Holdout of solo Scoreattack games. Any game mode will work fine.


Mythic Evasion - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with Tough Luck and Mythic on - 3500cR

Ever heard of Nightfall and it's less than 5 minute completion time?


...Is a Virtue - Score 40,000 points in any Campaign mission with less than 3 deaths - 2000cR

LASO up on Long Night of Solace and start from Rally Point Alpha. Fly around in your Sabre and be done in no time at all.

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 05/11/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

Any game mode. Well we've got some Multiplayer & Campaign to play through, so that'll rack up most of your kills.


Helping Hand - Earn 10 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

The Shield pop is what you want to do. Plasma Pistol or your own fist works well. Let your team know and let them take them out. I'd suggest Invasion with a friend.


Explosive Ordnance Distribution - Earn 5 kills with ordnance weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 1250cR

Actionsack has game like BOOM! Ball, Dino Blasters & Splockets. These games use the heavy weapons that you need (Grenade Launcher, Concussion Rifle, Fuel Rod, Rockets). Any game that gives these to you can work, just Actionsack has the better gametypes for it.


Lost Tyree, Lost Hutch - Complete Long Night of Solace on Legendary without dying - 3800cR

Legendary isn't all that hard, the hardest bit will be the control room, but there, you can stealthily take out all the Elites without alerting anyone. Just time it right. If you die, Save and quit, continue from there and you can still get the challenge.

Friday, November 4, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 04/11/2011

Gunslinger - Kill 40 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3500cR

Killing enemies shouldn't be overly hard, I'm sure that even if you've only just picked up the game you can do it. Just point and click. For speed I'd say keep to Grifball and Multi-team. Best thing to do though, mix in the other MP challenges.


Single Wield - Earn 100 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

A very large kill count here. The Pistols are what you'll be using. The Magnum is your best bet. Get into some SWAT/SWAT Magnums and use that pistol to headshot your way to victory. It'll take quite a while but the other gametypes, if you're using a pistol, you will find yourself often outmatched. It can work though.


Twin Trips - Earn 2 Triple Kills in the same match in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

We ever had this one before? I don't remember the Daily challenges so well. Too many of them. Anyway, get 3 kills within 4 seconds of each other. Do it twice. An easy challenge for games such as Grifball, Living Dead & Multi-Team. Once again, still feasible in any gametypes though, just need to have the right weapons and timing. Use those grenades well.


Home Field Advantage - Win 8 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4400cR

Just play the games and win them. Unless you want to down right cheat, not much going to help you here. Just pick the games you're better at and are more likely to have a winner (Not Objective and not Rumble Pit, too many places)

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 03/11/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any game mode, but once again we're in Firefight for today so there's your answer.


A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

10 kills or 5 kills with a Shotgun/Sniper/Sword. These will be the quickest was to get it. Honestly, no challenge.


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

100 enemies with headshot. Weapons for this, DMR, Sniper and Pistol. One game of Gruntpocolypse will be enough for this challenge, but you may want to Scoreattaack x2 it for some boost to the next challenge.


Demon - Kill 40 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking - 2800cR

Scoreattack x2 will give you around 20 Elites for a single game. Might be a bit less, but either way it's your best shot unless you're doing some Arcadefight doubles with a friend and you get some Heretic Rounds.

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 02/11/2011

Few laptop problems but everything will be back to normal by tomorrow. I hope.


Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2000cR

With Flat tire, you';ll be killing a fair few more than needed. With a bit of everything today, it shouldn't be too hard to pick this one up.


Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

Simple if time consuming. The enemy will drop off 1 vehicle per round in an Arcade Fight match. Regular Firefight (Traditional limited) will have a few more (Sometimes replenishing on each wave) but it's a lot harder.


Golden Opportunity - Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Heroic or harder - 5000cR

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/B.O.B I still say Nightfall is the quickest and easiest. Straight off the bat, in the first fight.


Un, Deux, Trois - Win 3 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2900cR

Play the games you like, win the games. Can't really force this one.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 01/11/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - 3200cR

1 game of Scoreattack x2 will get you all the enemies you need. Just kill them before they kill themselves.


Survivor - Earn 5 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Killing Sprees at every 10 till 50, then the next one's at 100. If you mix this in with the last challenge, the 3 shotgun sprees for 5, 10 & 15 kills works lovely.


Linked Up with Bungie.net - Link your gamertag with Bungie.net and play a game in Halo: Reach Matchmaking - 3000cR

Nice & simple. Go to Bungie.net and Sign in with you XBL account e-mail. No trouble.


Oops! All Kills - Earn 15 Multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Grifball & Multi-team for speed. Most games will work though. It'll probably be a slow process of Doubles though.

Monday, October 31, 2011

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 31/10/2011 Endure: The Return

Endure: The Return

Complete four sets on any Firefight map in co-op play on Heroic or harder

30000cR



Last time we had this, the way to go about it was in a Custom Firefight game. Same this time. Maybe put that 1,000,000 points in 10 minutes game to good use.

5 Waves in a Round,
3 rounds in a Set,
4 Sets Completed.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=70482&player=xFlawLess%20SKULL


There should be a number in the bottom right, that's the Set number. Once it hits 5, you'll be done.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 31/10/2011

More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2500cR

With only 1 MP challenge today and that being a rather simple one, you'll need to put in a fair bit of extra effort into this challenge. Multi-Team & Grifball for speed, but anthing will work really.


Eyes in the Sky - Kill 20 enemies with the Designator in ONI on Heroic - 1250cR

Simple as always, take out the Wraiths using only 1 strike. (Take out the second one either by hijack) then move to the Gun Turret. The Target Designator will slowly regenerate shots provided you don't just spam and waste them. Fire off a shot as the dropship is, dropping off troops, if that's not enough, revert to last saved.


A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

10 kills for a killing spree or 5 kills with a Shotgun/Sniper/Sword. These are the most likely ways of getting this challenge.


Headshot Honcho - Kill 9 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2160cR

SWAT, Snipers and if you've not got enough time to get the challenge, Invasion. SWAT & Snipers are very Headshot related gametypes, and invasion is just a long time for a blank slate. That Pistol will work fine.

Sunday, October 30, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 30/10/2011

Hi all, sorry for the late update, as well as being tired from yesterday (Sorry Wild, I popped over to the DDR area but I couldn't find you, so many people there) the clocks went back, so I got a bit confused as to when the challenges update UK time. Now I know, so lets move on.


Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

Rather simple, amount as usual. you'll probably hit this amount on the way to completing the other challenges. If not, you'll only need a few more.



Participation Counts - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2400cR

Just complete the games, don't need to win then, just use the time to give yourself a boost on the first challenge.


L.D. Package - Complete The Package, without dying, on Legendary with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Tough Luck on - 5000cR

I believe the whole, save & quite at the final checkpoint thing works perfectly fine. So I'd suggest that, there is no Iron so you can take your time and test out strategies.


Return of the Mack - Kill 50 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 1700cR

You'll probably kill a couple in the challenge above, but Normal difficulty on Long Night or Nightfall would probably work better.

Saturday, October 29, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 29/10/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Kill stuff. got some Campaign & MP today, a fair bit of MP. Depending on game and mission, could be done before or nowhere near done by the end. Firefight it.


Storm's Comin' - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with Mythic and Thunderstorm on - 3500cR

You can die in the process, so just, waddle through a level or something, I don't know, really tired now. Nightfall will work as the norm for these challenges.


Three Dog Fight - Earn a Triple Kill in Multiplayer Matchmaking - 2000cR

Grifball. Get some carnage going and camp some spawns. Or if that's not your thing, Infection works well.


Who's the Big Winner? - Win 12 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 10000cR

First 5 digit Daily I believe. All you need to do, is play the games you play well. Nothing more. Actionsack for the more random games.

Friday, October 28, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 28/10/2011

I'm out in London for the MCM tomorrow, so don't expect anything too soon. I'll probably get around to updating this place about 12 hours after the challenges have been posted. Depends on trains and other things.



Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 250 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3800cR

Any game mode, but the rest of the challenges today are for Multiplayer, so how you tackle the rest of this is up to you, I'd say once you're done with MP, switch to Firefight. Always a good way to rack up the kills and get a bunch of cR.


Un, Deux, Trois - Win 3 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2900cR

Win 3 games. What are you good at, or what are your friends good at, or what are some random people you can pull into your party good at? Play that. If the answer to all the above is bugger all, try some Grifball or Actionsack, usually Luck is a fair helper and the regular rules of Halo and even FPS games don't apply.


Killing Frenzy - Earn a Killing Frenzy in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 4000cR

Stay close to the actions but far enough away to not be picked off or hunted. Multi-team games like king of the work well (Provided you're nowhere near the hill but can still lob grenades at it. Living Dead works well, start early and don't make stupid mistakes.


Credits for Completion - Complete 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 1250cR

Play, stay, be done with it all. I'm sure you can get the other challenges while doing this.

Thursday, October 27, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 27/10/2011

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 3000cR

Starting off small with a big reward. A single game of Scoreattack will be enough to get this challenge. Any game mode though so, do it however you want.


Take a Dip - Kill 150 enemies on Waterfront in Firefight Matchmaking - 2500cR

Scoreattack once again your best shot. Though you won't have enough enemies to get this challenge in one sitting as you would with an Arcadefight game (Doubles would work well) the chances of getting the level are very random. So Best shot is going around twice.


More Like In Post - Kill 150 enemies on Outpost in Firefight Matchmaking - 2500cR

Same as above, just a different level.


Survivor - Earn 5 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Easy again. Killing sprees at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 & 100. Specials at 5, 10 & 15 (Stcky, Shotgun, Sniper, Sword, Hammer etc)

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 26/10/2011

Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Tis a fair few enemies, but provided you play a game where you can kill enemies and do so as a major part of the game, you can get this challenge. Multi-Team & Grifball for speed.


Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder - 2000cR

Killing Sprees as always at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 & 100, then Special Sprees at 5, 10, 15.

Special sprees include, Shotgun Kills, Sniper Kills, Plasma Sticks, Assists, Splatters, Sword Kills, Hammer Kills, Laser Kills & Wheelman to name some of the more common & easily acquired ones.


The Little Guys - Kill 125 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 2000cR

Exodus, Nightfall, ONI & Winter. These are the missions filled with Grunts. Most other missions are to but mostly these ones.


Freelancing - Earn at least 21 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game -2100cR

A rather high number. You won't be getting this easily in usual Slayer games. You need special gametypes.

Rumble Pit is solo and if it's slayer, it's first to 25 kills. You will need to be somewhat skilled in solo battle to get that high though.

If you're looking for a more team based version, Multi-team is first to 50 with 3 people, if you arrange it so your team assists and you go for kills, you've got enough flex room. Objective based versions of this game are a bit more unpredictable.

Invasion can work, you can have up to 25 minutes to kill and that's just 1 kill per min. You may need to puch forward hard/let the enemy get through a bit in order for this to work.

Grifball, my personal fav. The team that holds onto the bomb will control the game, keep the bomb close enough to their side so they stick their side and close together. Don't score it and rack up the kills.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 25/10/2011

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking- 3200cR

A single game of Scoreattack x2 will give this to you. Yeah that's it really, just kill everything on the map and get it. You're playing solo so no need to worry about kill stealers (Unless the enemy all kill themselves.


Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking - 3000cR

Not sure why this one is worth less than the one above, this one requires a lot more effort. I've often found a couple of Gruntpocolypse games works well the DMR & Pistol work really well and it's only Grunts so it's one little shot to the head.


Pod Kettle Black - Kill 15 Elite Drop Pods in The Long Night of Solace - 2343cR

Easy enough, start at rally point Alpha and keep your eyes on the bottom of the Corvette. It shoots down some glowing blue pods, use the machine gun to take them out. They don't fight back, just make sure you see them soon enough.


Vengeance Found - Earn your 'Revenge' in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 2000cR

Kill the guy who killed you, focus on their Helmet or Armour effect and then kil them before someone else kills you. Simple games such as Grifball works well. Easy to find the person who killed you.

Monday, October 24, 2011

Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 24/10/2011 Alexandria: LASO

Alexandria: LASO

Complete Alexandria, Legendary, All Skulls On (LASO)

23430cR



No need to pace yourself here, time to blitz this challenge. Thankfully, this is one of the easier missions, thanks to Jet packs and Camo, you can skip a whole lot of fighting. (Mostly the Drones & Hunters) you will need to pick up a lot of Needler/Needle Rifle ammo though. A bunch of Brutes will a lot easier to kill. Once they're dead, get yourself a Plasma Pistol and take out the Elites.

Head on down to HBO for a full in depth rundown.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 24/10/2011

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 2343cR

Any game mode. Tis an easy one. Go for other challenges and then just do whatever. Though with what you need to do today, I think this challenge will be completed before all the others. You could just Firefight it for a bit.


The Little Guys - Kill 125 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder - 2000cR

Grunts are easy pickings. The first 3 missions (Winter, ONI & Nightfall) and Exodus are the best missions for the job. Tonnes of Grunts and I'm assuming you know how to kill them.


Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4343cR

Not so hard, all you need to do is bee good at a gametype, or be with a team who's good, or a game that's a lot of luck. I can't really help you here too much, it's all dependant on the person. Action sack games often have a bit of luck involved.


Killing Frenzy - Earn a Killing Frenzy in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - 4000cR

10 kills without getting killed in the process. A rather hard one, you need to stay out of the action enough to no be targeted as the main thret, but close enough to get the kills. Certain games will be better, Grifball can be a good one, hold onto the bomb and slowly work your way up, or Living dead, just play that one carefully and start early.

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Halo Reach Daily Challenges 23/10/2011

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach - 4000cR

Any game mode you like and you've got a fair bit of MP & Firefight to play today, so it'll be quite likely this challenge could be completed before all the others. If it's not though, some Firefight will help top it off.


Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 100 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking - 4500cR

Assault Rifle, Needler and Plasma Repeater are your weapons here. Thankfully, all easy to spawn with. You have to keep enough distance though, going for the melee kill won't add one to this mountain of kills.


Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - 2000cR

Doubles Attack and Arcade Fight. Watch for the Vehicle drop. Usually one a round and with a pair of you, shouldn't take too long.


Close Talking - Earn 20 kills with close quarters combat in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR

Melee, Swords, Hammers and Shotguns are your weapons here. In all honesty, you'll probably get it while going for the machine gun one.
