Has anyone else noticed how ridiculous this daily challenge is?
It requires you to kill one thousand enemies on Beachhead in firefight matchmaking. But its worth less credits than Covenant-cide which requires you to kill only 120 enemies in firefight matchmaking, but on any map. What gives? Was there a typo? Was it supposed to be one hundred? If so, why don’t they fix it?
To rub salt in the wounds I have played four rounds of firefight matchmaking since the challenge started and gone right through all of the options (saying none of the above till it doesn’t let you any more) and have only played on Beachhead once.
If they’re going to through that ridiculous challenge our way, they could at least make it more likely to get that map.
I think they need to either make it 100 or at least triple the reward.
Not a typo. There has been a number of 1000 kill challenges for firefight since the game was released. It can be quite tedious for the measly reward but only if you search in the firefight playlist. Search doubles instead. Voting in doubles will cycle through all of the firefight maps and I’m sure many of your matchmaking partners will be seeking Beachhead too.
Look for Beachhead in Firefight Doubles. It’s almost guaranteed to show up there if your teammate votes favourably.
As for the payout, you can always set custom challenges. Game complete gives a lot as well, so by the time it’s over you’ll have more than just 3,000 cR.
The same always happens to me. But, whenever I see such a challenge I make a custom challenge to co-inside with the said challenge. If I’m going to kill 1000 enemies, I’m going to make sure it’s worth it.

I did exactly this, while getting the 1k for beachhead i set a custom to do the exact same kills but at 6,100 or so credits extra.
I didn’t bother going for any of the challenges today, I’m not going to bother if its not worth it. I just played rumble pit and got myself the super jackpot. Hoping the weekly challenge this week isn’t as ridiculous as this week was.

The number of kills or medals to get you 10k cR is actually 785. I try to set them at exactly the lowest possible number so that way if I play 6 games and come out with 796 kills, I don’t curse, knowing I already hit the number needed for the 10k cR, but having to play another game just to actually “complete” the challenge.
I also highly recommend using the headshot challenge instead of medals. To get 10k cR, you only need 393 headshots (which gives you 393 medals, btw). If done properly, you can pick up 10k cR for one headshot challenge, then grab 3000-7500cR on a SECOND headshot challenge before you finish the kill challenge. It all depends on how good you are at headshotting, but most people can grab 60-70 headshots against Grunts, Jackals and Skirmishers in a match pretty easily.
