Strategies for common Challenges
Note: All campaign challenges, unless otherwise labeled, must be done on Normal difficulty or harder.
- There Are Many Like... - Kill (number) enemies with precision weapons in the Campaign today.
- By beginning The Package at rally point bravo you can kill the Grunts dropped by the first wave of Phantoms with your DMR and then optionally revert to the last checkpoint and kill the same enemies again.
- Return of the Mack - Kill (number) Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder.
- Nightfall from mission start and Long Night of Solace from rally point bravo both have many Elites. In the case of Nightfall, if you manage to get a checkpoint just before the first Elite you can snipe or assassinate him, reload the checkpoint, and repeat until the challenge is complete.
- Leadership Element - Kill (number) enemy leaders in the Campaign today.
- The 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.
- Close Talking - Earn (number) kills with close quarters combat in multiplayer Matchmaking.
- Close quarters combat kills include kills by melee, shotgun, gravity hammer, and energy sword. Playing Infection may help as all players spawn with either a shotgun or a sword, and for some reason sword kills count twice toward this challenge.
- (Heroic) Killagruntjaro! - Earn (number) multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game (on Heroic or harder).
- Go to Score Attack Matchmaking. Vote "'None of the Above'" until you see Gruntpocalypse on Holdout. Go on top of the building on the western edge. It offers a great vantage point and allows for many spawn kills. The Grunts will often wait at their spawn point, allowing for many multikills with a DMR. There is also a ammo crate in the bottom floor below.
