Reach Challenges: Multiplayer Boosting

Do you ever look at a challenge that requires 30 kills or 10 assists in one game and think that it's stupidly impossible?  Since most of us don't play much Rumble Pit and have low TrueSkill ratings, that's often a decent choice to go and rack up some big kills.  However, Rumble Pit maxes out at 25 kills, so how do you get 30?  4v4 games max out at 50 kills, so it's hard to get 30 for yourself when it's split amongst 4 people.  Big Team Battle is possible if you can get snipe or tank, but there's always a mad rush for those so it could just be a big waste of your time if you're not the one of eight people to get the right power weapon/vehicle.

My preferred playlist?  Multi-Team.

In multi-team, even in Slayer, kill count is to 50, split only among 2 people, so it's much easier to get 30 kills for yourself.  If you can get into an objective game like Crazy King or Oddball, you can ignore the objective and just get kills...then there's no limit to how many you can get.  And since everybody else is going for the objective, they'll largely ignore you while you shoot fish in a barrel.  Also, since there's five other teams, there's plenty of opportunity for people to steal your kills so that you get your assists.  One very effective tactic is picking up the sniper rifle with active camo, camping someplace quiet, and getting body shots as the lambs run into the slaughter.  Assist Spree!
