The '''Assassin''' medal ('''Assassination''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'') is awarded for performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' [[multiplayer]]. It is also awarded in [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]] in ''Halo: Reach'', and in [[Spartan Ops]] in ''Halo 4''.

The '''Assassin Medal''' is awarded and achieved for [[melee]]ing an opponent from behind. It is available in all multiplayer gametypes and has a [[Bungie]] difficulty rating of 2 out of 10.{{Citation needed}}


==Description==
The Assassin medal is represented by a knife on a circle in front of a stylized X.  In ''Halo: Reach'' the circle is red; in ''Halo 4'' it is blue. After the player kills an opponent by performing an [[assassination]] on an opponent from behind, a message appears on-screen that states: "''You assassinated (player's name)''." 


It is represented by a ninja face on a eight-pointed star. After the player kills an opponent by meleeing the opponent in the back, a message appears on your screen that states: ''"You assassinated (player's name)"''. The Assassin Medal is also a medal in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' campaign when [[Campaign Scoring]] is turned on and activated. There are some occurrences where direct frontal punches results in an assassination, while assassinations sometimes result in beatdowns due to the attacker meleeing to the side. An assassination can be gained by hitting the right shoulder whilst hitting the left will be a beatdown and not an insta-kill. In ''Halo: Reach'' the Assassin Medal is awarded only if you melee them from behind and go into the third person animation. Your screen will say "You Beat Down [players name]" when you don't go into third person.
==Trivia==
*Starting in ''Halo: Reach'' and in subsequent games, what was a "beat down" in ''Halo 3'' is now a "pummel." What was an assassination (or a melee in the back) is now a "beat down," and an "assassination" is now holding the melee button and going into third person for an intricate death.
*The ''Halo Reach'' achievement [[That's a Knife|That's A Knife]] is awarded when a player gains this medal in [[Campaign]], [[Firefight]], or [[Matchmaking]]. The phrase is a reference to the film Crocodile Dundee.
*Performing an Assassination on an Elite to survive a fall that would've been fatal in the ''Halo: Reach'' campaign unlocks the [[If They Came to Hear Me Beg]] achievement.
*Performing an Assassination on a player that has just exited [[Armor Lock]] in a ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer matchmaking game on a [[Defiant Map Pack|Defiant map]] unlocks the [[Paper Beats Rock]] achievement.
*Assassinating a [[Promethean Knight]] in ''Halo 4'' [[Spartan Ops]] will unlock the [[Knight in White Assassination]] achievement.


==Trivia==
*If a player assassinates three players on a [[Legendary Map Pack]] map, either [[Avalanche]], [[Ghost Town]], or [[Blackout]], the achievement ''"[[Came...From...Behind]]"'' will be unlocked for 50 Gamerscore. Similarly the achievement can be earned on a [[Mythic Map Pack]] map, either [[Assembly]], [[Orbital]], [[Sandbox]], [[Citadel]], [[Heretic]], or [[Longshore]].
*In ''Halo: Reach'', what was a "beat down" is now a "pummel", what was an assassination (or a melee in the back) is now a "beat down", and an "assassination" is now holding the melee button behind a person and going into third person for an intricate death. There is now no medal for the insta-kill melee to the back unless it's an "assassination".
*Its been shown that third-person assassinations can be done to jackals and grunt in Halo: Reach.
*In ''Halo: Reach ''it was confirmed that there will be special third person Assassinations with the [[Energy Sword]].
