-'''Crackin&#39; Skulls''' is an achievement for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[multiplayer]] [[matchmaking]] added with the [[Defiant Map Pack]]. The achievement is earned by killing 3 players with the Oddball during an [[Oddball]] match. It is represented by a red flaming skull with the number "3" on top of it and an eight-pointed star behind it as a background. The achievement can be earned on any multiplayer map.

 ==Trivia==
-As with [[Candy from a Baby]] and [[Return to Sender]], this achievement does not actually require the player to be playing matchmaking at all to earn it; It is possible to unlock the achievement while playing custom games, as long as the gametype being played is electronically signed by Bungie. (That is, if the gametype is the same one used in matchmaking.) See [http://halo.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=46431 here] for the specific file.

(That is, if the gametype was the same one used in matchmaking.) However, this method required downloading the specific gametype file; with those services shut down, unlocking the achievement in a custom game is now functionally impossible.
