'''Extermination''' is a medal in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' [[multiplayer]]. 

In the first three appearances, it is a Legendary medal awarded for killing the last alive player on the opposing team with at least an [[Overkill Medal|Overkill]] that results in the entire team being dead at once. In the first two games, it is represented by a gray cross with a red skull, and in ''Halo 4'' it represented by a white skull on a red hexagon on top of a 16-pointed grey star.

In ''Halo Infinite'', it is a Mythic medal which is awarded for solely wiping the enemy team in a round of [[Elimination]].

==Summary==
This medal is can be considered very difficult to earn, requiring a player to not only encounter four enemies together but also successfully and quickly kill the team. The medal is likely more common in game modes such as [[SWAT]] as time-to-kill can be instantaneous.

It can also be obtained by killing the person who is in a team consisting only of himself, four times within four seconds of each kill.

In Halo: Reach, it is possible to earn an Extermination without getting an Overkill.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=9573631 , http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=8046472</ref> The exact specifics are unknown, but the medal seems to require one to get 4 kills on the same team in about the maximum time you can get an overkill in (12 seconds) instead of the Overkill medal itself.

=== Halo Infinite ===
The medal was only available within the Extermination gamemode, where the player performs an Extermination within one round. In [[2023|August 9, 2023]], the medal will be available in all multiplayer modes via an update during [[Season 04: Infection]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Preview|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/august-update-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=August Update Preview|D=04|M=08|Y=2023}}
