Third Eye

Reach: Custom Challenge. Earn 600 headshots in 3 hours in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
10,000 cR.



This is one of the standard challenges I put in when I feel like doing 3 hours of Grunpocalypse. Thankfully I did it today because none of today's challenges precluded it from being a custom challenge. That is 10k extra jink for me, and I am now within 57,000 of my promotion to Nova.

Flat Tire

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2343 cR.




This I got done in 3 games of Arcadefight NEP on Holdout. Everyone kept wanting that instead of Outpost. Fuckers. But got them all. I swear I only got 9. But when I bagged my second one, the game said 3, so whatever!

Light Fare

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - Complete.
3000 cR.




Once again, highly unbalanced from the other challenges of the day. But fuck it. 3k jink is more in my bank.

Scoped

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with precision weapons - Complete.
2000 cR.



So today includes 1000 enemies on Outpost, 100 in any mode, 100 with precision weapons and 10 enemy vehicles. I added to this 600 headshots. So now I am playing Score Attack trying to get as much Gruntpocalypse as I can and get whatever comes up for Outpost.

In my first Gruntpocalypse on Overlook I got the two 100 counts and 90 headshots.

Gunslinger

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 75 enemies in mulitplayer Matchmaking - Complete.
2250 cR.




This tood about 9 rounds of SWAT. Some games were not so great. But I know in the course of all of it, I got 3 Killing Sprees and twice had a spree of 9. I'll get that Frenzy sooner or later. Much is helped by having Desert Punk on my team. He gets a consistent 8 to 11 kills, but does not take them as fast as many others do. As I have often said, when not competing against my own team for the availability of kills, I do quite well.

I completed all of today's challenges and now have quite the headache. I will make Ramen and go watch tv.

Ramen: It's not a snack food, it is a LIFE STYLE!

A Friend in Need

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 10 assists in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2200 cR.




This one was nice and fun. 2 games with Desert Punk and I had them all. Off to something else violent.

You want this, don't you?

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 12 kills with a precision weapon in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
3000 cR.



I suppose this title is supposed to be more like the Sniper Rifle, not the DMR, even though the smaller weapon counts. The line is from the Emperor to Luke about his light saber. I supposes if all us grunts were getting owned by someone with a sniper rifle, we would feel the jealousy. In SWAT, we just want to get it over with.

Took me 3 rounds of SWAT. Then I got into a game against 3 people on one tv (limited view and probably skill) and Desert Punk 762 on my team. Lots of pickings and no competition for them.

Golden Opportunity

Reach: Daily Challenge. Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Heroic or harder - Complete.
5343 cR.



This took me a few tries. I got several Gold elites, but it was kind of hard to make sure I got a Ranger. I was particularly cautious because I was not certain WHEN it would inform me I had passed the challenge.

Well, having looked at several guides and videos that did not help me, I found this one.

Thank you so much to whomever wrote it. I found the Gold Ranger at the second location given. Messed him right up AND it immediately told me that I got the challenge.

Thanks one and all. I'm getting closer to Nova.

Support Structure

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 30 assists in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2250 cR.




This was actually harder. Usually had to wait until the second round of combat so that the enemies were strong enough to take a few bullets and then let someone else kill them. Grenades did ok, too.

One Spartan Army

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
3500 cR.




This one was great. After three games of Arcadefight I had 249 kills. On the previous game is was even in my favorite place. Corvette, bonus round, gravity hammer. And I still came up short by one kill. It was hilarious.

This is my Rifle

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 20 kills with precision weapons in muliplayer Matchmaking - Complete.
1000 cR.



Yeah, because 20 spartans with limited weapon usage is half as hard as 100 covenant.
This actually took me 3 games. I was enjoying my .45 and assassinations.

Better, Closer, Warmer

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn at least 9 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game - Complete.
2343 cR.



Yeah, that was so difficult. Glad they could work their call number in there.

One Spartan Army

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2000 cR.




Wow, hard. Thanks for thinking this up.

I alone win

Reach.
Just played a game of SWAT on Sword Base.
At the start, half my team quits. My other player is a dead stick.
2 minutes in 1 enemy quits.
1 minute after that my partner quits.
By the end of 6 minutes everyone has quit but me. 13:12, my favor. I got 12 kills by myself and the enemy team kept killing the dead stick. I only died a few times.
I win bitches. When I am able to sneak and hide, when I am not forced to get kills faster than my team, I fucking win.

That Pink Mist

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 70 enemies with a Supercombine from a Needler or Needle Rifle in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
2000 cR.



This was lots of fun. And, Mist is right. The Needler used to be much more intuitive and chase mother-fuckers down. This one misses quite a bit more thanks to the more dexterous enemies here. Not to mention how bad 4 is.

Also, the Needler is the only weapon that qualifies as Automatic in the Arcadefight loadouts. So today I finally got my Riflin' Through Commendation up to Gold. So sweet.

Riflin' Through

Reach Commendation

I finally got my Rifilin' Through Commendation for Firefight Matchmaking up to Gold. Huge cash bonus for that, and one step closer to being complete in this game. Thank You Needler!

Overlook's Overwatch

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 150 enemies on Overlook in Firefight Matchmaking - Complete.
1125 cR.



100 anywhere equals 3000 cR.
150 with restricted maps and game type equals less than half that. WTF?

Never the less, this got me many more points than I thought it would. So I got my 100, I got most of my 70 supercombines, I got my "Rifilin' Through" Commendation to gold, and I got 3k in the slot machine. All told I make 14408 cR out of one game here.

Survivor

Reach: Daily Challenge. Earn 7 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game - Complete.
2000 cR.




Odd, the first couple games I could not keep a spree to save my soul because I was so focused on the super combine. Then on Overlook this just happened to come together. I like making money that way.

Light Fare

Reach: Daily Challenge. Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach - Complete.
3000 cR.




Same as always. One or two rounds of Firefight Matchmaking and that is done.

Kind of mad at myself. Worked really hard on the challenges last night and then I forgot to put them in here. Oh well. It isn't like I have to put them here to get credit for them. I do this so I don't text to 20 people who don't care about all the "awesome" stuff I do in my games.

Almost 40k

Reach

I just checked on my service record. As of today I have made 39,999 kills with the FRG. How did I sign out today with exactly THAT?

Killagruntjaro

In the Corvette with an FRG. Things died all over the place. Just some bodies, just some credits.
