EMP (medal)

EMP Kill is a medal in Halo 3: ODST. In Halo 3 it is called the EMP Medal and in Halo: Reach it is called EMP Blast. It is represented by a 16-pointed green star over a 16-pointed gold star, with an overcharged plasma pistol bolt over the green star.

In Halo 3: ODST, it is awarded when a player kills a Jiralhanae shortly after disabling its power armor, as well as any shielded enemy including the Kig-yar and Huragok.

In Halo 3 the medal is awarded in the Halo 3 campaign. It is awarded for removing a Brute, Jackal or Engineer shield with a Plasma pistol or a Power Drain, then quickly killing the opponent.

In Halo: Reach, the medal is awarded for killing an opponent after his/her shields collapsed from an EMP burst by using Armor Lock, grenade launchers or overcharged plasma pistol bolts. The player will also receive the medal if their opponent is finished off by another player.
