'''[[Medals]]''' are a reward for completing a number of actions mid-game in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. In total, ''Halo 5: Guardians'' has 220 medals across all gamemodes.

For the first time in the series, ''Halo 5: Guardians'' allows the player to select between 4 different announcers with the Voices of War REQ Pack. Each supports every medal that has a voice line (the one exception being Vehicle Destroyed).

On ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'', Medals are tracked and categorized into 7 categories: Kills, Style, Weapon Proficiency, Warzone, Infection, Objective (separated out into multiple gamemodes for this list), and Vehicles.

==Trivia==
* The unused medal line "Lemon Head" is likely a reference to the gamertag of Brian Lemon, known as [https://twitter.com/The_Lemonhead/status/659796357297799169 Evil Lemonhead], who was the former Lead Multiplayer Producer for Halo 5: Guardians.
* Potentially related to a medal, there exists a "Fabulous" line that occurs on the map Atlas during Forge when spawning the Skull item. If you interact with it in any way, the line will play. Therefore it could be theorized that the medal could have been earned by using the physics of the skull to kill an opponent, though this is unknown.
* Much like ''[[Halo 2]]'', there's an unused medal line referencing a political figure named "Killary Clinton." This is obviously a nod to Hillary Clinton, in the same way that Cheneymania was a nod to Dick Cheney. Unlike Cheneymania however, its purpose is unknown.
