| | The '''Overkill Medal''' is awarded for killing 4 opponents within 4 seconds of each other. |
| | ==Summary== |
| | It is available in all [[Multiplayer]] gametypes and has a [[Bungie]] difficulty rating of 7 (out of 10). It is represented by a bronze circle with 4 green stars. When someone gets this medal the announcer will shout "Overkill!" to the player that received this medal. In [[Halo 2]], this medal was called [[Killtacular]]. |

|
| The '''Overkill''' medal (also called '''Killtacular''' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'') is awarded for killing four opponents within four seconds of each other in standard [[multiplayer]] games (and ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'') and within less time in [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]]. In ''[[Halo 4]]'' multiplayer and [[Spartan Ops]], the kills need only be within 4.5 seconds of each other.
| | "Overkill" is also an [[Achievement]] for Halo 3. An easy way to get this achievement is to play "Swords" on a small map like [[Snowbound]] or [[Epitaph]]. |
|
| |
|
| Originally, the medal was represented by 4 green stars in a bronze circle. In ''Halo 4'' it represented by four white stars on a forest green circle rimmed with green and brown. The medal is monochrome and imposed on a shield in ''Halo: Spartan Assault'' and ''Halo: Spartan Strike''. Receiving this medal results in the announcer shouting "Overkill!" to the player.
| | You can also get this Achievement by camping with a [[Rocket Launcher]] and a few frag grenades in a small map such as [[Epitaph]] on a game variant such as Crazy King, Although it is possible to get it on [[Narrows]] as well. |
|
| |
|
| ==Trivia==
| | An extremely easy way to get this medal is during the popular [[Assault]] variant Grifball, where players have [[Gravity Hammers]], [[Energy Swords]], and no shields. Thus, kills are very easy to get, especially if the player [[camping|spawn kills]]. |
