H4 - Skyjack.png

Skyjack (Skyjacker in Halo 3) is a medal awarded and achieved in Halo 3, Halo: Reach and Halo 4 multiplayer (as well as campaign in Reach) for hijacking an aircraft (Banshee, Hornet or Falcon). 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. As this medal is attained, a message appears on the screen, saying "You skyjacked player's name".

A good tactic to get this medal is to throw a Power Drain, or to shoot an overcharged Plasma Pistol bolt or EMP grenade at an incoming aircraft. The aircraft will be stunned, leaving the player an opportunity to hijack it.

The Skyjack medal is the counterpart of the Hijack Medal, in which you board a land-based vehicle.

Trivia

  • Earning this medal in the Halo: Reach campaign unlocks the Banshees, Fast and Low achievement.
  • Although the medal is included in the list of Halo: Reach Firefight medals, the Banshees in Firefight cannot be hijacked and therefore the medal cannot be awarded.
