Halo: Reach Custom Challenges

[Iɴsɪɢɴɪᴀ]

So, after having a couple of questions regarding custom challenges today, it has become apparent that not everybody is familiar with them yet. Nor do many people know how to set them up, sooo, here is how you do it.

 

Firstly, you will need to log into http://www.halo.xbox.com using the email address that your gamertag was created with. This will take you to Halo Waypoint on the PC.

 

Once logged in you will be directed to the homepage and at the top you will notice your gamertag with your rank medal next to it.

 

Now, you are going to click the arrow next to your gamertag for a drop down menu where you will be given a list of options. The one you want to click is labelled 'Challenges'. This will provide a list of the daily and weekly challenges at the top and as you scroll down, you will find a section where you can create new custom challenges (Up to 5 at a time).

 

Once you have created your custom challenge (It's easy enough to figure out how from there) you can check back to see how you are doing and how many more kills, medals, headshots or whatever your target is that you need.

 

When you have completed your custom challenge, you must not forget to go back to this page and turn it in by clicking on the challenge then clicking on the 'Turn in' button underneath it.

 

If you don't wish to complete a challenge for whatever reason, you may either forfeit it or just leave it to expire. Just remember you can only have up to five custom challenges at any one point. If you wish to make new ones, you must either forfeit or complete a prior challenge.

 

So, have fun earning those credits and ranking up people! Also, if you wish to invite friends to your custom challenges, the option is supplied. Just remember to message them and let them know as they too will need to log into their waypoint and check their invites there!

Oh yeah, the maximum amount you can earn for any single challenge is 30,000cR, so experiment a little by stacking your challenges to gain more. Or alternatively, set up some easy to accomplish challenges and turn them in over and over until you reach your daily credit cap.

[Auramyst]

Yes, there is a way to use this to get 10,000cR per 5 minutes. Hard to explain though.

Then I will try for your Aura.

 

Set up 2 custom challenges for Campaign. Setup is as follows.

 

1. Challenge type: Campaign.

Goals: 600 kills.

Time limit: 3 hours.

Constraints: ONI Swordbase. Heroic.

Skulls on: All apart from Iron, Blackeye, Tough luck and blind.

 

2. Challenge type: Campaign.

Goals: 600 Medals

Time Limit: 3 hours.

Constraints: ONI Swordbase. Heroic.

Skulls on: All apart from Iron, Blackeye, Tough Luck and Blind.

 

Each of these challenges is worth 5000cR.

 

Note: Make sure to turn on the skulls before you start the mission or you will not be able to complete the challenges.

 

Now, for those of you who are familiar with the target Locator 'cheat' to boost your commendations and credits, that is basically what you are going to do here. Watch the Video below for a tutorial (Not mine) if you don't already know the Target Locator exploit.

 

 

Once you have the required amount of kills and medals, turn in your challenges and set them up again to start over.

 

Hope this helps you get more credits faster!

Guessing that not many people are really interested in the custom challenges then.... C'mon peoples, they give you access to such easy credits!

[Sikslik7]

I never knew this. Will start to use.

[Quantum]

Easy way to get credits for me.

 

Set a custom challenge for Multiplayer Matchmaking, and select headshot kills.

 

Choose a goal you think you can achieve in the alotted time you give yourself. Once you set this, go play Team SWAT. If you set your goal high, you may have to play it hardcore; hours straight.

 

This can get you MANY credits, for instance, 200 headshots in under 14 hours gives you more than 10,000 credits. Not only that, but it helps with commondations, like crackshot, and one shots.

Custom challenges are your best friend if you really want credits. Like quantum said, things like lots of headshots within a short amount of time will get you gargantuan amounts of credits.
