'''Skyjacker''' is a medal awarded and achieved in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[multiplayer]] for hijacking an aircraft ([[Banshee]], [[Hornet]] or [[Falcon]]). It is represented by a bronze cross with an embedded gold shield, which has an eagle in the center. As this medal is attained, a message appears on the screen, saying "You skyjacked <player's name>".
'''Skyjack''' ('''Skyjacker''' in ''[[Halo 3]]'') is a medal awarded in ''Halo 3'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' [[multiplayer]] (as well as [[campaign]] in ''Reach'') for hijacking an enemy aircraft. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Reach'' it is represented by an eagle on a gold shield atop a bronze cross. In ''Halo 4'' the eagle is atop a blue circle and a grey cross turned 45 degrees. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' the eagle is on a yellow roadsign. As this medal is attained, a message appears on the screen, saying "You skyjacked (player's name)". In ''Halo Infinite'' this is a Common-rarity skill medal.


A good tactic to get this medal is to throw a [[Power Drain]], or to shoot an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] bolt to an incoming aircraft. The aircraft will be stunned by your attack, which leaves the player an opportunity to hijack the aircraft.
