> Oh, by the way, the new Custom Challenge of the Week is live. For the next seven days, setting up a Custom Challenge with Grunts as the type of kill will result in five times the usual multiplier. Enjoy!
Grunt custom challenges will give 5x the normal cR payouts until Tuesday the 26th at 11:59pm pacific time
All custom challenges must be made under “firefight matchmaking”
Simple challenge layout:
Grunt Hero 53 kills 3hrs 10,000 cR
Grunt Spec 79 kills 3hrs 10,000 cR
Grunt Infantry 157 Kills 3hrs 10,000 cR
Headshots kills 200 kills 3hrs 5099 cR
Medals 450 5736 cR
You can’t have medals and headshots at the same tme so you must choose one to do. Also having an active headshot challenge will make it so you cannot make any new challenge until it has been turned in.
Edit: please read a few of the bored member’s posts further down the page for the best cR gains.
Nice find! thanks a bunch!!
I haven’t been able to find this info since the one about Warthogs in the Bulletin a couple weeks ago. So thanks for posting!!
Here’s the settings I used in February to get 50k cR every 4 games of Gruntpocalypse:
10,000cR is the cap for Firefight Matchmaking
Use the Score Attack - Gruntpocalypse type with 3hr limit
Create challenges as:
50 Grunt Hero: 9560cR
75 Grunt Specialist: 9560
120 Grunt Infantry: 7648cR
400 Medals: 5099cR
you should get the Hero and Specialist in the first two games - turn them in and recreate them, do two more games and turn them all in – 50987cR for 4 games!
You don’t have to wait for the 3hr to expire before getting the cR.
Repeat until ‘pop, yay!’ becomes too much to bear.
edit: you can add 1 to Hero/Specialist to get the max and increase Infantry to 150 and Medals to 500 and still be within the 4 game limit, but I like to leave a bit of slack.
If you really want to maximise, it’s possible to set lower targets and turn in after every game, but that’s too much like hard work for me.
This is what I used last time
Grunt Infantry-157 for 10,000cr, 3 hours
Grunt Specialist-79 for 10,000cr, 3 hours
Grunt Hero-53 for 10,000cr, 3 hours
Medals-785 for 10,000cr , 3 hours
the grunt heros & grunt specialist can be completed in 2 games of gruntpacolypse
the grunt specialists 5 games of gruntpacolypse.
the 785 medals in approx 6 games.
after 7 games approx-100,000cr from customs and gameplay credits
After about 2 hours, you will hit the 200,000cr cap
For myself if everything goes right it takes 13 games of gruntpacolypse to cap @ Reclaimer rank… Alot of it hinges on the score one makes each game. For myself I figure an average of 2500 per game with most games lasting approx 10 minutes. YMMV.
If you switch the medals for headshots, you can get 10,000 cR even faster. I think it’s just less than 400 headshots/3 hours for 10k.

Killing the grunts for the next six days will get you more cR then headshots will. You will get 40,000 cR every four games. Every two games between you will almost get 20,000 cR.
And I suppose you’re not planning on killing the grunts with headshots? Headshot challenges pay out twice as much as medals do.

very true, that would be better - 393 headshots instead of 400 medals will get you the 10000cR in 3hr.
I was working on my Small Arms commendation at the time so medals were easier than headshots to make sure I didn’t go over 4 games. Like I said, there’s some slack in there 
With the headshot challenge you cannot create additional challenges. Ie: when your 2 games are done with grunt heros & specialists it will not allow the creation of those challenges again until you turn in the headshot challlenge.
That’s an interesting point I didn’t know about. I guess you could scale down the headshot requirement to what you’ll normally get in two games (like 200) to avoid this problem.

How weird is that? Normally you can’t do headshots and medals together - headshots and kills of enemy should be OK, but you’re quite right, it doesn’t work even though you can create them together to start with! Must be a bug with Headshots.
I agree, change the 400 medals to ~200 Headshots (for ~5000cR) and turn in after 2 games like the Hero and Specialist.
I was able to take out a large chunk of Mythic last night, and should be able to hit Noble and take a large chunk out of that over the weekend. Thank you gentlemen.
Here is what I am using,
Gruntpoc/FF Matchmaking
Turn in every 2:
55 Grunt Hero - 10k
80 Grunt Spec - 10k
200 head shots - 5099
Turn in every 4
120 Grunt inf - 7648
Of course, you can tweak the Grunt Infantry number to suit you better. I usually set it to 150, but ended up sucking last night and having to play an extra game for a couple Grunts.
This, in addition to game complete/commendations/slot machine was getting me just under 70k for 4 games.
I’m new to the custom challenges, but when i have finished a match it never shows progress…
what are the details of the challenge(s) you created and the game types you have played?
Custom Challenges - The Guide
It just takes a little bit for it to update. I’m doing the grunt challenges now and it took til I was loading my next game before the progress showed up on the Custom Challenges.
I’m wondering the time difference between the grunt challenges and sword base farming.
I check waypoint every day and I never saw the weekly custom challenge. Grrrrrr.

It was kinda hidden. The thread discussing this week’s Bulletin was the only place I saw it. There’s still plenty of time, though.
