Reach Challenges: Single Player Boosting

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today is the first day that people are eligible to pop the 16,000 cR weekly challenge!

I previously posted about how to exploit the save game glitch to get Flawless campaign finishes over and over again.  There are two other main methods to boost as a single player, one in Campaign and one in Firefight.

  • Red Ring of Death: This video shows how to get fast, cheap kills on ONI: Sword Base.  Don't worry if you don't get a ton of cR per game, it may only be a handful especially if you've already leveled up a bunch of your commendations.  You'll get cR for getting new Commendation levels (up to Onyx Max) on Splash Damage, Walking Tank, SpecOps, Leadership Element and Cannon Fodder.  This is also a good way to pick up stray kills for daily challenges that just require kills in any game mode (at least 10 kills/minute).  Finally, there are occasionally challenges for killing Specialists or Leaders in Campaign so again, this is an easy way to pick them up.
  • Firefight pwnage: There's an achievement as well as occasional challenges that require you to get ridiculous points in Firefight.  You'll note that this does not have to be in matchmaking and can be done in a local game.  The link here points to a custom game type in my Fileshare that you can download and use for yourself.  It's all Elites where you are invincible with bottomless clips.  That means you can just run around launching Rockets like crazy to run up your score without worrying about dying.  Takes about 45-60 minutes for 1,000,000 points solo.
