The '''Killing Frenzy''' Medal is awarded in the [[Halo 3]] Multiplayer for ''killing 10 opponents in a row without dying''. It is available in all Ranked [[Multiplayer]] gametypes and has been given a [[Bungie]] difficulty rating of 7 out of 10. The award is represented by a bronze 5-sided star with a green target in the middle. When someone gets this medal the announcer will shout "Killing Frenzy!". In [[Halo 2]], this medal was called [[Running Riot]].


Out of all medals, Killing Frenzy takes the longest amount of time to show up (Have the announcer shout it aloud) from when the player actually earns it. This medal is also a Halo 3 achievement. This medal isn't too difficult to achieve.

Were you looking for the Killing Frenzy achievement, or the Halo 2 medal of the same name ?

The Killing Frenzy medal (known as Running Riot in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2) is a multiplayer and Spartan Ops medal awarded for killing 10 opponents in a row without dying. In campaign and Firefight it is awarded for killing 20 enemies in a row without dying. In Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike the medal is awarded for killing six enemies in a row without being hit.

The medal is represented by a bronze 5-sided star with a green target in the middle. In Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike it is represented by a stylized shield. When a player earns this medal, Jeff Steitzer will shout “Killing Frenzy!”.

Trivia[edit]

  • In Halo: Combat Evolved, because there are no medals, if you kill ten opponents in a row without dying, you will still hear the announcer, and see “Running Riot!” in the upper right corner.
  • Strangely, in Halo 3 this medal does not show up immediately after one gets the 10th kill in a row. Instead, they need to wait for approximately 3 seconds before the medal and announcement appear. As a result, it is one of the most glitched Halo 3 medals, along with Splatter Spree.
  • Earning this medal in a Halo 2 for Windows Vista multiplayer game unlocks the Running Riot achievement.
  • Prior to the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, earning this medal in a Halo 3 ranked free-for-all playlist unlocked the Killing Frenzy achievement.
