Subject: What is this "6pm to 9pm" Custom Challenge thing?

Play Hard, Play Nice

Inheritor# ... ah hell, no one cares anymore lol

I read around the forums about using Custom Challenges from 6pm to 9pm... what does that do? From 9pm does it take 3 hours(exactly midnight) to get your cRs or something for that day?

Ok, basically. If you go into ONI sword base and get yourself set up with the target designator boost with some recommended skulls enabled (every one except iron and blind) on heroic, you can set up custom challenges to get around 100K an hour, depending on how efficient you are. If you have no life whatsoever then you can get around a million credits a day by starting said method right as you wake up. I'm not trying to ban myself so I always keep under the credit cap in the few times I have done the method. Once you set up the campaign save there are certain challenges you can finish and turn in in around 8 minutes. Repeat this and profit. But I would suggest not making above 135K a day if you don't want to get a banhammer halfway up your digestional track. Seeing as your technically using tools that 343 gave you and cant be punished for it as long as you dont go above the cap.

I've been doing this method but like what you stated, I stay under the cR limit.

But what does the time "6pm to 9pm" have to do with any of these challenges though?

actually you can complete all of them for a tweaked amount in a single 8 minute run.
same campaign settings as him but these amounts
i do
200 grunt heros
180 skirmisher specialists
400 jackel specialists
700 medals
800 laser kills
doing this four times gets you about 115K in 36 minutes. which is just below the cap

oh and the 6 to 9 is the last time slot available to do the challenges. because if you set any challenges before six they add on to today and if you add them on past nine they count for tomorrow because they cash out after the new challenges are up.

Not necessarily finish, just make all your challenges before 9pm (if you're doing 3 hours) because you won't get the cR until the timer for the challenge ends, even if you turn it in early.
