Hello Halo Reach gamers. As we are all aware, we can make custom challenges. Its all simple making the objective and time, but the cR calculation is another thing. Does any players out there have any great custom challenge methods they used that’s reasonably simple and rewarding they would like to share?
One of my challenges are for Fire fight Matchmaking. 1000 kills. I think it was valued at 10k cR.
I generally make one for MM and FFM. though I have actually kind of stopped using the custom challenges since it would barley move my rank and its just to much of a hassle.
True that. Not only the time it takes but as for Reach. Its cheap on cR giving and custom challenges feel worthless.
I posted a guide somewhere on this forum and on another forum… I’ll repost it here when I get home.
Short version - 30,000 credits for 1600 medals and 800 kills. Jetpack + gruntpocalypse.
Activate jetpack when you shoot a grunt and you’ll get the headshot medal and the jetpacking kill medal. Great way to farm credits.
Here’s the post I was talking about.

First off, I don’t claim to be a professional or anything. This is just a step-by-step guide explaining how I get most of my credits. I find that it works out pretty well.
I can get about 28,000 credits in the space of roughly 2 hours.
Step 1
-Go to (http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Career/haloreach/Challenges) and sign in if you’re not already signed in.
-Scroll down to where it says “CREATE A CHALLENGE”
-Create the following two challenges.
1
Name challenge: Whatever you want to call it to help you remember what it is. It doesn’t really matter.
Challenge type: Matchmaking Firefight.
Goal: Kills.
Target: 800.
Set time limit (hours): 3 (lowest you can go).
2
Name challenge: Whatever you want to call it to help you remember what it is. It doesn’t really matter.
Challenge type: Matchmaking Firefight.
Goal: Medals.
Target: 800.
Set time limit (hours): 3 (lowest you can go).
Step 2
-After creating your challenges, sign in to halo and go to the Cooperative playlist and pick Score Attack.
-You’ll want to wait until you find a game of “Gruntpocalypse”, preferably on Corvette or Outpost. I’ve found that they’re easier.
-When the game starts, pick the loadout with the jetpack.
-Whenever you’re setting up your crosshair and getting ready to shoot a grunt, activate your jetpack quickly.
-This will cause you to get a medal for a headshot and a medal for killing an enemy while you’re jetpacking.
-Using this method, you can get almost 250 medals per game and anywhere between 110-120 kills per game.
-Here’s a video showing what you should be doing if there’s any confusion: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=26504711&player=IAmLuke21393
Step 3
-After about 3 or 4 games, your medals challenge should be completed, so you’ll want to create another one.
-This one should have a slightly lower goal, like 600 medals, assuming you want to finish both challenges at about the same time.
-Here’s an example of what my challenges screen looks like:
-Red line indicates the first two challenges I created. Yellow line indicates the last one to finish it off.
I hope someone finds this helpful. I’ve been getting tons of credits from this. I’ve almost got enough for inclement weather.

I’m pretty sure I took the link to the video off of my fileshare though. Apologies.
Hope it helps!
Edit: Since I created this guide, I’ve often found myself overshooting my second medal goal of 600 medals. If you want to make the second one 800 medals instead, you’ll get about 2,000 more credits.
Heres 3 links to videos on my Youtube channel for challenges that pay out the maximum amount of credits per challenge for each game mode.

As you will see from the view counts these have helped a lot of people, so I hope they help you guys out too. If you like what you see feel free to subscribe ready for Halo 4 help videos.
Quick summary on how to achieve max cR payout in 3hrs for main Goals (no constraints):
Type…cR cap…K/M/W#…Headshots…Wins
Multiplayer Matchmaking…30000…707…354…71(!!)
Multiplayer Firefight…10000…785…393…n/a
Campaign *…5000…1177…589…n/a
Custom…2000…to do…to do…to do
Kills of Enemy doesn’t fit neatly into this table.
If you want to know how time and constraints (Difficulty/Skulls) can change the cR, I’ve tried to explain in part 3.

I can cap out in 45 minutes using campaign custom challenges. Definitely the most efficient way to rank up.
takes bout 50 minutes for me to max out using the oni method.
ONI Sword Base, Heroic ASO except for Iron and Blind. Make it to the Target Locater w/o killing any enemies except the first elite, using the ramp to the right. Wait for enemies then fire it and catch the checkpoint so that when you restart from last checkpoint, the Locater has fired but not hit. You should then be able to rack up kills.
Set the following custom challenges:
519 Medals
259 Jackel Specialists
173 Grunt Heros
173 Skirmisher Specialists
With the following restrictions:
Heroic difficulty
All Skulls On except Iron and Blind (select all then unselect Iron and Blind)
They are all worth 5000cR, so that’s 20KcR total.
Play for 2mins 25secs, restarting from last save after every killionaire.
Quit.
Turn in challenges.
Set new ones.
Repeat restarting process for 2 mins 25 secs
quit.
First challenges pay out.
Repeat.
Keep an eye on the challenge payouts, sometimes the maths changes and you may need to up the kills, or decrease the number of kills for efficiency. Last week, 475 medals, 235 Jacks and 165 skrim and gunts got 20Kcr. Got uped slightly for this week.
Otherwise youtube ONI sword base custom challenges. The figures I have given here are currently accurate but they do change.
15k every 2.5min on heroic. 
4 GH, 3 JS, 1 SS. 450 med,180 GH, 100 SS, 160 JS = 15k and it takes 50 sec ingame and about 2.5 min overall.
To bad these custom challenges don’t work when you’re playing with additional guest controllers. Unless that isn’t the case anymore. IS IT?

I’ll test that one for you now.

They seem to work with 1 guest logged in (had my brother running around with hammer/shotty/AL combo, his fave), I didn’t finish my challenges because he kept stealing all my kills (Sniper/Pistol or Sword/Camo combo for me), but they do track.
I’ll farm the CCs when I’m not running 2 players from 1 Xbox, because I don’t wanna get in trouble for boosting in FF MM. So I’ll wait until I have 2 Xbox’s set up (my other brothers) and I’ll have them play dummy on the upper platform in 04, makes it really easy to take out everything attacking them, just sit there and pop head shots while they swing hammers around like idiots.
