Finally unlocked all of the damn daily challenges for today. Playing 17 games was a *****. My attention span doesn't last that long. Even with the extra 5,450 cR from the challenges, I only knocked off 1/3rd of the cR needed for Captain. I'll be glad to get past this rank. Hopefully it will only take me another day to get the last 21k cR for Captain.
That's only 21 games.. You'll get it. I rarely play Gruntpocalypse and it took me two or three days to get Captain.
I guess i wasnt the only one. I played 6 games before school and when i came home and got on it said i played zero but i still had around 30-something kills and a couple assists for the other challenges. Wierd.
Looks like today has some repeat challenges. Complete the following Challenges : - One Spartan Army Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - Storm's Comin' Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with Mythic and Thunderstorm on. ... and it should take care of this challenge : - Shootin' and Lootin' Kill 250 enemies in any game mode in Reach. If not, by the time you complete the last challenge : - Cook 'em, Clean 'em! Kill 5 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. ... you should have Shootin' and Lootin' completed. For those that haven't finished the weekly challenge, yet. Just do Storm's Coming challenge on Legendary with a friend or guest account.
I don't believe that you can achieve the Cook 'em, Clean 'em challenge in FireFight. Any challenge that states "multiplayer Matchmaking" usually involves the Competitive playlists. *Confirmed that this cannot be completed on Gruntpocalypse. Perhaps Firefight Matchmaking? I couldn't even accomplish that challenge. All the jetpack loadouts have shitty weapons. You can't get the kills unless you have help from someone else, and it takes forever to get to a location to get kills because you move so damn slow. The worst part was I was jetpacking over people with the sword or shotgun to get kills for the challenge, but they weren't counting.
If it says "multiplayer matchmaking" then you cant do it in firefight. I got the Cook 'em, Clean 'em challenge by just using the AR and then pulling out my pistol and finishing them off. I did it in one game.
Yeah... I never really had the opportunity to do that in Invasion. There's only one stage with the jetpack and there's some games where you don't even get to that stage. I tried going to Rumble Pit, but Safe Havens was selected. I just never got an opportunity to get it done, even when I tried specifically for the challenge. It doesn't help when you get stuck with idiots for partners, either. My problem is that I play primarily as a team player so I set up close spawn areas to the objective. At least I got enough cR to get myself to Captain... Today's challenges look fairly simple, though... besides the Katanarama. Definitely can't be done on Gruntpocalypse. Would need to be on Sniperfight or Rocketfight.
Well todays challenges are all on Firefight except one. The new weekly challenge is also on Firefight. These all look incredibly easy. I dont think anyone should have trouble with these.
Anyone complete the "Be Vigilant" Challenge for yesterday? I'm starting to believe that the only way to complete it is if you go to Mission Start on Long Night of Solace and keep killing enemies as they drop down before you enter the base at the beginning. Apparently a huge number of dropships will keep dropping off coveys... kinda like a firefight mode with a lot of AI characters. Looks like today is a Firefight day for challenges... I can knock off a few more games for my weekly challenge! Meh... only took me 3 games of Gruntpocalypse to complete all 4 of the daily challenges today. Probably could have only taken two, but I was 30 points shy of the 10k for the Points, Points Challenge. I also didn't play very aggressively on Overlook to complete the Heroic Overwatch Challenge. I just went for the 50 kills. Easiest 5,600 cR you'll ever get.
Ughhh... I don't think I'll achieve the weekly challenge for this week. Unless of course we have to play firefight for tomorrow's challenges. I just played about 10 games of Gruntpocalypse and I'm getting annoyed with playing it.I'm only halfway to completing the 50 total needed for the week.
You have to be jetpacking at the exact moment you get the kill, as in the jet pack has to be in use. I know it's six weeks late but it might help.
Today's challenges seem fairly spread out among the various game types. Unfortunately my 40" LCD just went out and I had to unbury my extremely old and barely functional tv. I think I spend more time trying to get the picture to stay on than I'll get to play a game.
Half way through the week, I thought "yeah, I'll reach that 30 firefight matches now that I'm halfway there". I looked later that day and then saw it was 50. From then on, I pretty much gave up.
I finished WC on Legendary without dying yesterday, and now there's a challenge for it. Makes me sad.
