'''Exterminator''' is an [[achievement]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. It is unlocked by beating the par score on the level [[Floodgate]]. The achievement is worth 10 [[Gamerscore]]. It is represented by a blue circle with a horned medieval helmet, also known as the "Warrior" emblem, in the original game and a screenshot of [[Ghost Town]] in the collection.
'''Exterminator''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[meta-game|Meta-Game]] [[Achievement]]. It is earned when the player scores 15,000 points while playing the [[meta-game]] on [[Floodgate]]. This Achievement awards the player 10 [[Gamerpoint]]s.
 
It is represented by a blue circle with a horned medieval helmet, also known as the "Warrior" emblem. The level is aptly named, because it is the first level to feature the [[Flood]] in ''Halo 3'', and it lets the player "exterminate" them. This is most likely one of the most difficult levels to score 15,000 points in, as it is the shortest level, and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and [[Elites]] can steal valuable points.


The par score for Floodgate is 15,000 points in ''Halo 3'' and 25,000 points in ''The Master Chief Collection''; the difference is due to the fact that the two games feature different [[campaign scoring]] formulae. Though the achievement can theoretically be unlocked on any difficulty, more points are awarded in campaign scoring when playing on higher difficulties.
The [[Catch]] Skull has no effect on the Flood as they don't throw grenades, but the Marines and Elites are affected by it, and are likely to stick you if you have this skull activated. Because this skull will not make the Flood any more dangerous in this level, activating it is a good way to multiply your points a little more. Also, because the level is relatively short, it would be a good idea for the player to complete the mission within a short period of time, as point multipliers can be gained at the end of the mission based on the total amount of time the player takes to complete it.


In the original game, players must achieve the par score individually, even when playing [[Cooperative play|cooperatively]]; in ''The Master Chief Collection'' cooperative players share a single score, potentially making the achievement much easier.


==Tips==
==Methods==
The [[Halo 3 skulls#Catch|Catch]] Skull has no effect on the Flood as they don't throw grenades. Because this skull will not make the Flood any more dangerous, it is an excellent way to add a multiplier without making the level more difficult. That being said, Marines and Elites are affected by the Catch skull, thus the player must be wary of being fragged by friendly fire.
# Activate the [[Tough Luck]], [[Catch]] and [[Fog]]. If you wish, activate the Black Eye skull, but at your own risk (the Black Eye skull's effect is that your energy shield will not recharge unless you perform a melee hit). Another strategy would be to use the [[flamethrower|Flamethrower]] to take out as many [[Pure Form]]s as possible.
# If you wish to unlock the achievement on Normal, activate the [[Halo 3 Skulls#Thundersstorm|Thunderstorm]], [[Halo 3 Skulls#Tough Luck|Tough Luck]], [[Halo 3 Skulls#Famine|Famine]], [[Halo 3 Skulls#Catch|Catch]] and [[Halo 3 Skulls#Cowbell|Cowbell]] skulls.
