  Gunslinger

  Kill 100 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking.

  1000cR

  
  

  I would recommend either play Multiteam or Griffball to get this challenge done quickly. Yesterday I got 69 kills in ONE Griffball game!

  Difficulty: 2/5

  Multiplier

  Earn 3 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.

  1500cR

  
  

  Again, either do Multiteam or Griffball. They both offer a lot of chances to get multikills

  T-Hug It Out

  Kill 15 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.

  0d19h14m13s 3000cR

  
  

  I'm gonna have to say Griffball here again! Each kill with the gravity hammer or sword is a close quarters kill.

  Difficulty: 2/5

  Oops! All Kills

  Earn 30 Multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking.

  1200cR

  
  

  This will help you complete the weekly challenge as well. Yup, you guessed it, Multiteam or Griffball!

  One Spartan Army

  Kill 400 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking.

  2000cR

  
  

  This time consuming challenge can be done easily by playing 4 games of Gruntpocalypse, boring, yes, but probably worth it. Also you will get the Hyper Lethal Vector challenge in about 2 games which will give you an extra 3000 cR.

  Difficulty: 2/5

  Hyper Lethal Vector

  Kill 150 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking.

  3000cR

  
  

  As said above, the best thing to do is just play 2 Gruntpocalypse games, this will help with the One Spartan Army challenge as well.

  Difficulty: 2/5

  Weapon Swap

  Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder.

  1000cR

  
  

  This challenge could be a little annoying. I would suggest playing a Gruntpocalypse game and dying after you get the untouchable spree (50 kills). Then get another untouchable which would give you 10 sprees in about 100 kills.

  
  

  Difficulty: 3/5

  One Game, One Spawn

  Complete a Firefight Matchmaking game without dying.

  1200cR

  
  

  This one challenge is more of another annoyance because you can't do it at the same time as 'Weapon Swap'. Start yet another Gruntpocalypse game and play very defensive. I would suggest playing on either Corvette, Courtyard, or Holdout. Use the armor lock armor ability and whenever a grenade lands near you armor lock. Whenever you hear a fuel rod being fired, armor lock.

  Difficulty: 3/5

  
  

  Have fun with all of your Gruntpocalypse today. Thanks Bungie!

  Blastin' and Relaxin'

  Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach.

  2000cR

  
  

  This one is simple, load up that custom game of Firefight you made where you are invulnerable and keep killing until you hit 180 kills.

  Difficulty: 1/5

  Fourth Horseman

  Earn 4 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.

  1900cR

  
  

  Get into a game of Grifball with a main focus of killing. It shouldn't take more than a round or two until you can focus on the objective part of the game again. SWAT can also be used in this instance but it will be harder to get 4 multikills in the same game.

  
  

  Difficulty: 2/5

  Golden Tree City

  Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in a Banshee, fast and low, while on New Alexandria, on Legendary.

  3500cR

  
  

  Ok, start up New Alexandria on Legendary. Once the mission loads jump into your falcon and fly low, your altitude should be around 100. Keep flying low until you see a banshee that is continuously boosting, this is your Gold Ranger-class Elite. He will not fire back at you and will try to get out of there as soon as you start to shoot him. This one is tricky but it is worth the credits. Fly low and keep your eyes peeled. Use this youtube video link for reference: YouTube Gold Elite Video
  
  I just completed this challenge I stayed low right near the first objective, at an altitude of about 100. The Gold Ranger class Elite zipped by at the 16 minute mark. I barely got him, he is fast, keep your eyes open. It will be the banshee that doesn't fire at you and just flies through.

  On the Sixth Respawn...

  Complete a Firefight Matchmaking game with fewer than 5 deaths.

  1000cR

  
  

  I would use Gruntpocalypse on Corvette for this one. Play defensively and stay on one of the top ledges. You shouldn't have much of a problem getting this one done, just watch out for Fuel Rod Grunts.

  Difficulty: 2/5

  Shootin' and Lootin'

  Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach.

  1500cR

  
  

  This is one of the easiest challenges you can come across. Set up a custom game of Firefigt and set your shields to invulnerable in the match settings. Set the 'sets' option to unlimited. Kill away!

  Difficulty: 0/5

  Multiplier

  Earn 2 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.

  1500cR

  
  

  This one can be a little tougher if you have trouble getting multikills. But! Griffball is out and this should be very simple today. SWAT or Multiiteam are good options too.

  Difficulty: 1/5

  Cannon Fodder

  Kill 75 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today.

  1750cR

  
  

  This one is not difficult you just have to make an automatic weapon your best friend for about 10 minutes. I would suggest setting campaign difficulty to Normal and loading up the last mission 'Lone Wolves'. Grab a  needler and let em have it!

  ...Is a Virtue

  Score 30,000 points in any Campaign mission with less than 3 deaths.

  2000cR

  
  

  This one seems daunting but is actually pretty easy. You do not have to complete the mission, just get the points without 3 times. This is what you do; load up New Alexandria, Set all the skulls on except for Iron and Black Eye. Set the difficulty to Legendary. Once in the mission just jump in the Falcon and await the banshees that will eventually start to torment you, endlessly. Rack up 30,000 points without dying (simple) and you got 2000 more cR in your bank.

Weekly Challenge 1/17/11

Multiplicative: Earn 200 multikills this week in multiplayer matchmaking.

Have no fear! Grifball will be in the playlist lineup tomorrow.  Grifball is a great way to rack up multikills. You are armed with a hammer so smash away!

  One Spartan Army

  Kill 400 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking.

  2000cR

  
  

  This is just one of those challenges where you going to have to buckle down and play 4 games of Grunpocalypse, it's as simple as that. Or you can take advantage of Arcade Firefight and have a little more fun with it.

  Difficulty: 1/5

  Helping Hand

  Earn 10 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking.

  1600cR

  
  

  For this one I wouldn't necessarily try to get assists but instead just let them rack up. Play a few games of Multi-Team and you should be good to go.

  Difficulty: 1/5

  Hyper Lethal Vector

  Kill 150 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking.

  3000cR

  
  

  You can do this one in 2 games of Gruntpocalypse. This will also help you get the One Spartan Army challenge about halfway done. Aim for the head!

  There Are Many Like...

  Kill 100 enemies with precision weapons in the Campaign today.

  1000cR

  
  

  I would suggest loading Mission Start on Nightfall on Normal. You will start with plenty of Sniper ammo. When you get low on ammo revert to your last save, rinse, and repeat until you get your 100.
