Overkill (achievement)

Overkill is a Halo 3 multiplayer achievement. It is awarded for killing four enemies within four seconds of each kill in a ranked free for all playlist. It awards the player 5 Gamerpoints.

It is represented by a bronze medal with four green stars.

Difficulty
This Achievement has been antagonized for its difficulty to earn. Currently, there is only one playlist that falls within the conditions. Since the playlist, Lone Wolves, only supports 5 player per match, for Overkill to be unlocked a player must kill every other player in the game within four seconds of each kill. This has proven very difficult, and many players opt to get this achievement simply in an achievement match.

It was briefly possible to earn this achievement relatively easily during the Halloween zombie special. If you started as the alpha zombie on a "creeping death" match, it was possible to have 4 or more opponents clustered together and to easily sneak up and eliminate them all with a single gravity hammer stroke.
