Halo Reach Weekly Challenge 08/11/2010 Crackshot UPDATE

So, I've recently found out that this challenge needs to be done in 1 play through. If you die it resets, if you finish, it resets. However, Reverting to last save, keeps your current headshot count, so, find the best spot, I'd say the beginning, and fire away. Remember, you can do this multiple times, and if you're on the edge of dying, quickly revert, you'll save a lot of time. It may be though, that you need to continue onwards because you just hit a checkpoint. If so, I'll now give you a quick run through of were to find more Sniper ammo.

1. Right as you move towards the first Marines you find, on a cliff edge looking over the facility as you exit from the rock "cave" there will be a dead Marine with a Sniper next to him.

2. In the facility there are a few boxes with ammo. Rockets, DMR, AR & Sniper. You can also take the snipers from the Soldiers there.

3. After Jun plants the bomb on the tower, near the Phantom there is another case containing 2 snipers.


That ammo, plus the starting ammo gives you about 100-120 rounds of Sniper ammo. Combine that with the revert to last save and you're more or less set. Easy when you know how and that's why I'm here.

Halo Reach Daily Challenge 09/11/2010

Hello again, welcome to a bit of a strange day. Before we start, quick heads up on the Weekly Challenge. It needs to be done in one sitting. One big continuous Headshot flow. A bit harder than Previously thought but still doable. Will update later on areas that contain extra Sniper ammo.

To the challenges. Once again, at least one for each gametype.

Gunslinger - Kill 100 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. 1000 cR

I think by now you know what to do. Play what you like.

Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. 1500 cR

Erm... O.K. Same as above, with 50 more kills.

There Are Many Like... - Kill 100 enemies with precision weapons in the Campaign today. 1000 cR

You know the Sniper Rifle counts as a precision weapon, hint, hint.... also DRM, Needle Rifle and Focus Rifle.

Blast Radius - Kill 30 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades. 600 cR

Corvette, Gruntpocolypse. It's just that the grunts are so easy to kill. Plus the fact that the HAVE to spawn in the same areas.

Nothing of challenge here. Just the Gunslinger may take some time. 4100 cR. Less than yesterday, but whatever, It's all good.

Looks like that streak of all Weekly Challenges will Continue. This one, very, very easy. All you need to do is line up a headshot and fire, Grunts will go down very easily as will Jackals, Elites, you may need to shoot them once before, but after they decide to roar, standing still, leaving their heads very open for that shot.

So there we go, 70 may seem like a lot, but you've got the whole week to do it. Finish it tonight or do bite size segments. Doesn't matter, just make sure it's on Heroic and you keep that sniper stocked.

Halo Reach Daily Challenge 08/11/2010

Morning all, how are you today? Ready for the new week? I didn't think so. New Week = New Challenges, although you could say New Day = New Challenges, but enough with that, let's get started:


Heroic Killagruntjaro! - Earn 35 multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder. 3500 cR

A more challenging version of last weeks. Though I'll say I didn't realize there was an easy way of doing it last time. My tactic is to get a Gruntpocolypse on Corvette. The monster closets (Where the Grunts spawn) aren't bullet proof, only Spartan proof. So lob Grenades, Fire Rockets & Fuel Rod Cannons and anything else you can find in them before the Grunts have a chance to escape. Pick of the ones that mass down the ramp with precision DMR fire.


Covenant-cide - Kill 60 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. 500 cR

You know the challenge above, well this one will be acquired by getting that, or by just killing 60 enemies. Very easy.


Vengeance Found - Earn your 'Revenge' in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. 700 cR

This one is not so easy, the act of killing someone in Multiplayer isn't hard, it's locating the one who killed you and getting the revenge before you're killed by someone else before you kill him. Now, obviously, the larger the game, the harder it will be to locate them. Best way to do this is to find a camper, when he kills you, you know where he is, he won't move and it's just a case of planning the attack in advance. If you're struggling, jump onto Arena Doubles. 2v2 game, there's a 50/50 chance of you killing the guy who just killed you.


Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach. 1500 cR

With the other challenges, especially the Firefight one, you'll be very close to this one. You'll get it while just playing.

A nice boosting 6200 cR today, a very nice start to the week. It's all doable within 30 mins, easy. So sit back and enjoy the game.

Halo Reach Daily Challenge 07/11/2010

Morning again. Hope you Americans had a good extra hour of sleep. Certainly makes morning stuff over here much easier. It's Sunday so it's the last day to get the weekly challenge so keep that in mind if you haven't got it yet. We have one of each challenge gametype today, One Campaign, One Firefight and One Multiplayer, With an Extra Ambiguous one thrown in.


Neuroscience - Kill 10 enemies with Headshots in a Multiplayer Matchmaking game. 1200 cR

One of the hardest challenges according to some checks Bungie.net did. I'll agree up to a certain point. The best way to do this though is to focus on games that either take a long time with many kills (Invasion), Head into the most chaotic playlists and sit back waiting (Multiteam/Rumble Pit), or gametypes that mostly rely on Headshots (Team Snipers/SWAT). You could even try with Living Dead, the pistol is able to get Headshots and you do have enough time, just hope you're Human at least twice.


A Friend in Need - Earn 10 assists in Firefight Matchmaking. 1000 cR

You know how this goes down now, assists are a common enemy in these challenge bonuses. Do a bit of damage, shoot a grunt 3 times, Punch a Brute/Elite, do whatever, just get them as close to death as you can. Here's a little extra tip though, SniperFight, shoot one of the Dropships turrets once. A second shot will destroy it giving you an assist.


Leadership Element - Kill 45 enemy leaders in the Campaign today. 1500 cR

What is a Leader? 9/10 Elites, or something like that. The way I did this was to start Long Night of Solace from the final checkpoint. I got the challenge while I was fighting off the enemies by the pelican. So it doesn't take too long and it isn't overly hard.

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 90 enemies in any game mode in Reach. 1000 cR

Kill 90 enemies, anywhere, custom Firefight is what I'm going to say if you don't already get this one.

So there we have it, all nicely worth 1000 or more. 4700 cR to get today, not much but it's better than nothing. Remember to get those Multikills to get the weekly challenge. Have Fun.
