Rejection



Rejection is a Halo: Reach multiplayer medal. Depicted as a gold diamond superimposed by a blue shield and brass padlock, the medal is earned by using Armor Lock and surviving a subsequent assault that would have otherwise been fatal, i.e. a plasma mortar launched from a Wraith. It was revealed alongside two other medals in Bungie's 07/09/10 weekly update.

Trivia

 * Ironically enough, if Armor Lock is used to destroy a vehicle you are not awarded a rejection medal. Which is strange considering the only way to destroy a vehicle using Armor Lock is to have a vehicle, going fast enough to splatter you, hit you head on. Meaning if you did not armor lock you would have surely died, and therefore, should properly award you the medal.
 * One theory about this would be that the platter is coded in, rather than handled by physics or damage, so it sort of works outside the usual damage, and Bungie didn't realize this.
 * Oddly, one can earn this medal in Forge by setting the Damage Resistance to Invulnerable, walking into a Kill Ball, and activating Armor Lock.
 * You can actually be awarded this medal for using armor lock to block the EMP from someone else's armor lock! Ain't life funny.
