'''Extermination''' is a special medal awarded in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and [[Halo Reach]] [[Multiplayer]] for getting at least an [[Overkill Medal (Halo 3)|Overkill]] on the opposing team that results in the entire team being dead at once. It is represented by a gray cross with a red skull.

==Summary==
This medal is extremely difficult to earn, as you rarely find all of the same team together, and it is hard to stay alive killing at least four enemies within four seconds of each other.

It is helpful to note that just getting an overkill on a four-on-four match in [[Matchmaking]] will not necessarily achieve the medal. This instance doesn't occur often. In order to unlock the medal, you have to kill the entire team so fast that every member of the team is simultaneously dead for at least a moment. If any [[respawn]] before you get the overkill, you will not get the medal.

Perhaps the hardest conventional team slayer playlist to get this medal on would be [[Slayer]], as it has a battle consisting of a four-on-four match. Excluding this, achieving this medal on Social/Mythic Big Team Battle would be extremely noteworthy, because that would mean getting a [[Killtastrophe]] on the enemy team before any of them respawn.

A fact about the Extermination medal is that you don't have to kill the whole team, as long as they're all dead. ex: You get an Overkill in a 5v5 match, and the other player is on the respawn; as long as all players are on the respawn, and you receive an Overkill and the Extermination, whether you were the one who killed the whole team or not, which can be useful in Big Team battles. Inversely, you can also get the medal in a 2v2 match by killing both enemies twice, and spacing out the first 3 kills.

This is commonly received on [[Team SWAT]], as you only have to get headshots, where it is very easy to obtain on [[Snowbound]] due to the fact that all the opposing team members will be close to one another. You can also do it on [[Orbital]] by camping at the top of a escalator and waiting for a team of four to run up the stairs, you should have the upper hand because you have an ambush set, if you do it right and with a little luck you will get 4 headshots along with the medal. It is also more easily obtainable in [[Grifball]], another easier way is to get an overkill in a 4v4 objective game, as the respawn time is longer.

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 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 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.

-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.
