There is an Halo 4 achievement that reads:

The Challenger

Complete 25 Challenges.

My Spartan record shows 25 challenges complete, but I don't have this achievement.

What am I missing?

Is this achievement broken? If so is there anything I can do to get it to work?

The achievement isn't "broken" necessarily, as it can still be unlocked. I unlocked it last night with 27 challenges completed.

Basically, it may take more than 25 challenges completed to unlock, but it should eventually happen. I've seen reports of anywhere from 25-50 challenges completed before it unlocks. Just keep playing, and you'll be alright.

Here's a link to a forum post discussing the issue: Xbox.com Halo 4 Challenger Issue

If you do a Google search, you'll find several more websites where people are discussing this.

Anecdotal evidence, but I completed it with only 25 last night. I tend to complete very few War Games challenges and have focused almost purely on Campaign/Spartan Ops. They have repeated one or two challenges and I don't know if the achievement is looking for unique challenges.

At the end of the day, there are a minimum of 5 extremely easy challenges every week (Spartan Ops) and several other low hanging fruit. I'd expect in all but the most rare of circumstances you'd have it in another week.

Be careful how you're getting the counts of how many challenges you've completed. If you're not careful, you could be counting them twice. For example, if Waypoint says the following:

• War Games: 7
• Daily: 4
• Spartan Ops: 15
• Weekly: 21
• Campaign: 3
• Monthly: 0

You have completed 25 challenges (4+21+0, or 7+15+3), not 50.
