Okay, this week’s weekly challenge is EASY. It just takes time is all and not as much as you might think.<\/p>\n

\n
Here are the specs for it:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Not Lough, High –\u00a030000 cR<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Earn a score of 250,000 (points) in any mission in the Reach Campaign.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I did this on the mission New Alexandria<\/strong>. Legendary<\/strong> setting, solo, with the following skulls on:<\/div>\n
Tough Luck<\/strong><\/div>\n
Catch<\/strong><\/div>\n
Famine\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Thunderstorm<\/strong><\/div>\n
Tilt<\/strong><\/div>\n
Mythic<\/strong><\/div>\n
and for fun IWHBYD<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The skulls I picked essentially have NO effect on gameplay when shooting with the Falcon against the Banshees and Phantoms. So in essence they are “free” multipliers. The reason these skulls have no effect is that they pertain to AI enemies NOT vehicles. The first two deal with grenades. If you’re flying then those won’t harm you. Famine give you less ammo for your gun. Since you’re in a Falcon however which has limitless ammo… The next two deal with damage tables. But since they are for ground forces and NOT vehicles, it doesn’t matter. So turn them on. I usually turn on 1-3 of the silver skulls for the heck of it, though they won’t increase your skull multiplier, so you don’t need them on.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Banshees were worth 1275 points while Phantoms on their own (without the grunts in the guns) are worth 8500 points. With the grunts it’s over 9K points.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
I did take a short 5 minute break (for nature, LOL). Just landed on \u00a0a building and the ships left me alone. Yes, I could have paused the game, ah well.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
So really this game took me 38 minutes to actually play. That’s not too bad at all considering that’s about 3 games worth of a matchmaking game. It was easy and it will help your commendations for killing vehicles as well as killing with a vehicle.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Before going into matchmaking with your friends, stick this one out and get rewarded with that nice credit bonus of 30,000cR.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
NOTE:<\/strong> If you do this with your friends EACH of you will need to score the 250,000 points independently. No combining scores to make it go faster. So play with a friend if you want, just keep this in mind.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Good luck!<\/div>\n
