Flag Kill
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Flag Kill medal is awarded by killing an opponent with the flag by melee kills.
In Halo 4, the medal is also awarded by getting kills with the pistol when dual wielding with the flag.
In Halo 4 it is represented by a white flag and skull with an 'X' on the forehead imposed on a blue circle and grey four-pointed star.
The medal can be received with a Bone Cracker, Beat Down or Assassin medal, but can also be earned by attacking an enemy with a delayed weapon and grabbing the flag before it hits the target. Methods for this include slow moving projectiles, such as Rockets, or using grenades.
Trivia[edit]
- In the Halo 3, Halo: Reach Career Stats at Bungie.net and Halo Waypoint, the description for the flag is "It's right next to the headlight fluid". This is homage to the series Red vs Blue, where the Red Team sends the rookie, Donut, on a fool's errand for elbow grease and headlight fluid. Instead, he mistakenly goes to Blue Base and takes their flag.
- Prior to the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, earning this medal in a Halo 3 matchmaking game on a Legendary map unlocked the Defend This achievement.
