Why is it that every time I get in the gunner seat it seems like I get the most clueless driver ever? It’s either they’ll drive right up to enemies & stop/slow down giving the enemy team easy shots, they’ll seemingly drive over every single thing that can flip us, or they’ll drive away before I can finish the kill.
I know I don’t HAVE to do this seasonal challenge so don’t even bother saying so but with that being said, I -Yoinking!- HATE this challenge! Mainly due to the fact that it’s limited to the Warthog & therefore reliant upon decent team-mates to drive w/o their head up their -Yoink-.
Who would’ve thought that dumb challenges can result in even more idiotic games because people are camping Warthogs etc. It’s not like that was a feedback given during the flight of Season 8.
We can only hope that challenges in Infinite are only boring/basic stuff that does not interfere with gameplay.
I just don’t understand 343. Took them 2 years to finally acknowledge that H2A has performance problems on the One X.
Someone messaged me the other day thanking me for my good driving
I just played as normal & with patience did challenge ok, even with warthogs not lasting long
It helps if you have proper teammates to play with. In my usual group of 3, we managed to all net the challenge this week by alternating turns on the hog. Right now most folks are hogging the gunner seats and drivers are being petty. As long as you can nab around 10 a day you should be on track to finish it.

One of my usual dudes is away at college & can only play on weekends if he’s not swamped by homework. But even if he was able to play he’s not a very good Warthog driver(his words, not mine). Like, in MLG terms, he’s the “main slayer” of our group. My main other friend I play with isn’t always down to play & when he is it’s for, like, 3 games at max. I did, however, just have a decent game on Rat’s Nest, despite this stupid dude on my team 'nading my Warthog every time he spawned near me. Fifteen kills is a decent chunk of the challenge since it’s only 117 kills total.
I can definitely imagine this challenge being a pain for anyone playing solo. Relying on completely random people to drive you isn’t the best.
If you’re committed to doing this solo I definitely recommend trying to drive the warthog somewhere advantageous, hop in the gin and use it as a stationary turret, if you’re in a good spot you can easily pick up a few kills fairly often. As a complete solo player that’s one of your only other alternatives.
Either that or partner up with some players on Xbox’s LFG system.
I was fortunate enough to have a good friend of mine help out. We’d take turns each map driving or shooting. Managed to get it done in a few hours of playing, we’d pick up about 10-12 kills a match on average. Having someone who knows what they’re doing is a huge help.

I got it done over the course of the weekend. I was extremely lucky as far as finding competent drivers. That’s how I’ve made a lot of Halo friends. I’m a better gunner than a driver but I’ll drive if I need to. I tend to prefer smaller team style arena games over big team stuff. The only issue I’m having right now is that it seems like whenever I’m in a tank and I shoot someone, half the time it’s like the shot doesn’t do any damage.
Anyway, if you ever need a driver, I’m not great but I can follow directions. Let me know.

At least people are using gunnerhogs now, they used to be left out/ used for cover.
I like it when challenges have a bit of variety, but at the same time it is frustrating when it encourages people to play outside of their comfort zone and ignore the actual objectives of the game.
Achievements created a similar problem back in the Halo 3 days. I distinctly remember people camping sword spawns to try and get the sword achievement. At least that one was on the lone wolves playlist and it didn’t affect you if they wanted to waste time on it.
So yes, as other people have suggested, play with friends. Or at least if you do try using a warthog with a random, try talking to them first to confirm that they know what they are doing and you are on the same page.

So, funny story about this challenge. I was looking at it & noticed that the possible games you can make progress included ODST so that got me thinking that Firefight had to be an option, especially since it just says “while in matchmaking” & not specifically “PvP matchmaking.” Lo & behold I just finished this challenge on the Reach Firefight map Unearthed by getting in the Rocket on in the player’s main spawn area.
So to repeat: Matchmade Firefight IS an option if PvP multiplayer is getting frustrating.

I need to try that then. I did see that earlier but I didn’t get any progress on it so I guess it was just bugged at the time I guess. That will make it so much easier! Cheers!
Well it’s a seasonal challenge and this being the last season odds are you will have awhile to finish it. It seems to me everyone is always in such a rush to finish seasonal challenges like they only have a day or a week to get them done they are frustrating themselves for no reason.

Holy crap thank you so much. This one just got a lot easier. Getting a good driver in PvP is near impossible it seems for me. I’l have this done in no time with this new strategy. Many thanks!
Not the best challenge ever. Don’t get why they didn’t set to assists or kills so that way I can drive without haven’t to worry about if the driver knows how to drive plus less chance of being driven off a cliff. Only just finished that challenge but was a bit annoying also I think the ‘montage starter kit’ challenge is broken.
