==Obtaining The Medal==
The medal is accompanied with the message, "Bulltrue!".
In the [[Halo 3 Beta]], it was simply a red star, because the Energy Sword wasn't supposed to be found in the Beta's Custom Games and variants. It is easily achieved with dual [[Type-52 Pistol|Maulers]] or a [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]]. If lucky, an [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]], dual-wielded [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]], or [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|Magnums]] would work, if the enemy dies right as the lunge occurs.

It is actually a very challenging medal to attain, unless playing [[Grifball]] or against inexperienced players. This medal is slightly easier to obtain as a Juggernaut, as increased shielding and damage resistance lead to a non-one-hit-kill with the sword.

Bulltrue is a medal in Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite multiplayer that is awarded when a player kills another player who is in the act of an Energy Sword lunge. The lunge does not necessarily have to be directed at the player who receives the medal; the swordsman can be in the act of lunging at any player. In Halo 3 and Reach it is represented by a brown diamond with a silver outline and a bull's head in the center. In Halo 4 the bull's head is atop a blue circle and grey cross. In Halo 5: Guardians, the bull's head is on top of a brown octagon.

The medal is accompanied with the message, "Bulltrue!".
