Overkill
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Overkill (Killtacular in Halo 2) is a medal in Halo 2, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo: Spartan Assault, Halo: Spartan Strike, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite Campaign, Firefight, Multiplayer, and Spartan Ops.
It is earned for killing four enemies quickly. When the player achieves this medal, the announcer will say "Overkill". In the original versions of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, the announcer will say Killtacular instead.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection adds the "Overkill" medal icon into Halo: Combat Evolved 's multiplayer.
Trivia[edit]
- The announcer would say "Killtacular" in the original version of Halo: Combat Evolved, but the medal didn't exist until Halo 2.
- Earning this medal in the ranked Lone Wolves playlist in Halo 3 matchmaking will unlock both the Overkill achievement, the Commando harness helmet, and the Ascetic harness shoulders.
- In Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite, the kills only need to be within 4.5 seconds of each other, while in all previous Halo games it only needs to be 4 seconds.
