First Strike

The "First Strike!" medal in the Halo Reach Beta

First Strike is a medal awarded in Halo: Reach. It is awarded for getting the first kill in a Multiplayer match.

Trivia

• The Medal is a reference to the Halo novel titled "First Strike" and the common term "First Blood" in many other games.
• A bug in the multiplayer beta caused this medal to be reset upon leaving a host migration; the first player to score a kill thereafter earned the medal.
• The achievement "Yes, Sensei" is unlocked upon earning a First Strike Medal in matchmaking. Once the achievement is gained you also unlock the UA/Base Security [W] armor from Halo Waypoint.
• In the postgame stats, this medal will always appear as the top medal of any game.
