'''Challenges''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' | '''Challenges''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' are daily, weekly and monthly objectives posted in-game and on [[Halo Waypoint]].<ref name="wypnt">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/intel/inteldetail/124924c8-1930-48eb-904b-01586ef83dd8/career?category=Basics Players '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Halo 4 - Career'']</ref> A player is awarded a certain number of [[Experience Points]] after completing an objective. Players can only view and complete challenges while connected to Xbox LIVE. | ||
'' | Unlike in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', challenges are organized by gametype. Campaign and Spartan Ops feature two weekly challenges each. [[War Games]] features two daily challenges, two weekly challenges, and one monthly challenge. | ||
Players who complete one challenge are awarded the achievement "[[The Challenged]]". Players who complete 25 challenges are awarded the achievement "[[The Challenger]]". | |||
Challenges are an excellent way for players to gain bonus XP and increase their Spartan rank.{{Ref/Reuse|wypnt}} However, in ''Halo 4'' it is much easier to reach the maximum rank than it was in ''Halo: Reach''. Once a player has reached SR-130 they stop earning XP. As such these players receive no reward beyond personal satisfaction for completing challenges. | |||

Unlike the kill and objective-based daily and weekly challenges in ''Reach'', ''Halo 4'' weekly campaign challenges are only completed by completing campaign levels, typically on a Heroic or higher with specified skulls activated. | ||
