**Also in [[Nightfall]], when you pass the Active Camouflage and get to the small cliff to the first large group of enemies, if you have it on Heroic there will tend to be four Ranger Elites on the first building on the right.

**The [[Halo 2 | **The [[Halo 2 Skulls#Thunderstorm|Thunderstorm]] skull will promote all enemies making many of them leader class. Alternately, repeatedly killing the first Elite on Nightfall, as mentioned under Return of the Mack above, can be effective due to that Elite counting toward the challenge whether he is a leader rank or not. | ||

**Go to [[Score Attack (playlist)|Score Attack]] Matchmaking. Vote "'None of the Above'" until you see [[Gruntpocalypse]] on [[Holdout]]. Go on top of the building on the western edge.

**A fast way to get this challenge (either once other challenges are complete, or if you want to get it really fast) is to go into a custom firefight game with the damage percentages set to your advantage, bottomless clip on, and with any type of [[Lance|Grunt Squad]]. Grunt squads (of any type) provide the most amount of enemies per wave, letting you get this challenge even faster. | **A fast way to get this challenge (either once other challenges are complete, or if you want to get it really fast) is to go into a custom firefight game with the damage percentages set to your advantage, bottomless clip on, and with any type of [[Lance|Grunt Squad]].

**An even faster way is to utilize the [[ONI: Sword Base]] [[H-165 FOM|target locator]] method that will allow you to complete the challenge in mere minutes or even seconds. Simply sprint from the very beginning of the level to the area where the target locator is found, without killing too many enemies. You will receive a checkpoint either before or after you pick up the locator, which you can then use upon the hordes of Covenant coming down the incline behind you. If you are lucky you may even receive a checkpoint right after arming the locator and thus speed up the kill count after each revert. | **An even faster way is to utilize the [[ONI: Sword Base]] [[H-165 FOM|target locator]] method that will allow you to complete the challenge in mere minutes or even seconds.
