Fast & Easy Weekly Challenges Completion

Here is a brief guide to understanding Halo MCC challenges and how to complete them quickly!

I will try my best to link videos and pictures to better guide you. If you follow this guide you should expect to finish all of your WEEKLY PVE challenges in about an hour or so, depending on your skill and knowledge of the game.

Most of the Challenges in the PVE category overlap, meaning, they can be completed in a single session/ mission/ firefight. Its best to try and complete as many challenges in a single run as possible.

I will add some PVP challenges as well, since some can be cheesed... In a way...

Each week new challenges reset with nearly the same rotation. I will structure this guide to help you with these rotations. I will also separate the Firefight and Specific weapon / vehicle challenges into their own categories along side PVP.

Each Week a new method can be used depending what the specific campaign challenge lands on.
These are the specific challenges that will dictate what method to use:

From the Beginning...

• Halo Reach Method
  
  Delta Droppings
  
  • Halo 3: ODST Method
  
  Change of Scenery
  
  • Halo 3 Method

Combine these challenges in a single run:

From the Beginning...
Complete 3 Campaign missions in Halo: Reach or Halo: Combat Evolved.

Skullduggery
Complete a campaign mission with at least one scoring Skull enabled.

Forza Firefight
Complete 2 Campaign missions in under 20 minutes.

Narrative Navigator
Complete 8 Campaign or Spartan Ops missions. Earn additional progress for completions on higher difficulties.

This should be your Game / Mission / Difficulty load out.
The quickest way to complete these challenges is to the do the following:

Game: Halo Reach
Mission: Nightfall
Difficulty: Legendary
Skull: Fog (removes only your radar)

If you speedrun the mission and do the Forklift Skip at the end you can average this run in about 3-4 mins.
Fork Lift Skip Tutorial:

Speed Run:

Use this to your advantage and complete yet another challenge:
After you run this mission 2 times on Legendary you want to switch over to Campaign Mission Playlist and run this same mission, Nightfall, that is under First to the Fight Playlist on Medium Difficulty to quickly complete:

After 20 mins you will have completed about 6 challenges.

In this section I will cover the Weapon and Vehicle Challenges:

Please note
Almost all these challenges can be completed in Custom Firefight.
We will be taking advantage of that.

Create the Following Custom Firefight game mode(s) with these load-outs.

Game:
Halo Reach
Map:
Anything you want, I would recommend small maps to speed up the process.
Small maps like Corvette & Courtyard work perfect for this method. As the enemies spawn in close proximity.
Settings:
Invulnerable
Bottomless clip
Infinite Armor abilities
Infinite Time
3x Damage
Infinite grenades
Enemies:
I have 4 variants of Firefight games saved to make completion faster.

Variant 1: Only Grunt units
Variant 2: Only Elite & Brutes units
Variant 3: Only Hunters
Variant 4: Combination of all.

Setting Notes:
Speed can be a blessing and a curse, same with gravity. I would advise not to change your speed and the gravity value as they can cause problems with out of bounds/ insta kill boundaries specially on the smaller maps. Do customize to your liking. I would advise all your load outs to have a jetpack for easy targeting and movement.
If you decide to make yourself Invulnerable, witch you should, do note that the only way to change load-out is to die. The best way to die when you're Invulnerable is to jetpack out of bounds or to a place where the kill timer can count down.

Spartan Load-outs that work best:

Loadout 1
Jet Pack
Frag Nades
DMR
Sniper

Loadout 2
Jet Pack
Frag Nades
Rocket Launcher
Fuel (Cannon) Rod

Loadout 3
Jet Pack
Frag Nades
Shotgun
Gravity Hammer

Loadout 4
Jet Pack
Frag Nades
Needler Rifle
Focus Rifle

Load-outs can be anything you want them too really. I personally just use these as they have all the weapons one would need in order to complete the challenges.

You can complete the following challenges using this method:
Cannon Fodder
Defeat 200 light infantry in PvE modes

Weekly Warriors
Defeat 100 core infantry in PvE modes.

Heavy Mettle
Defeat 75 heavy enemies and enemy vehicles in PvE modes.

Car Alarm
Earn 150 kills in PvE modes with vehicle weapons on Normal difficulty or higher.

Send It
Defeat 75 enemies with sniping weapons in PvE modes.

Cuddle Up
Defeat 100 enemies with close-range weapons in PvE modes.

Pinpoint

Eagle Eyed
Earn 300 kills in PvE modes with UNSC weapons on Normal difficulty or higher.

Propheteering
Earn 200 kills in PvE modes with Covenant weapons on Normal difficulty or higher.

Best Method:
Here are a few challenges that have a quicker method than just doing Costume Firefight.

Challenge:
Car Alarm

These can be done together and can also be combined with a few others.
Play Halo Reach Sniper Firefight via Matchmaking.
Firefighter - Complete 2 full-set match-made Firefight games.
