'''Skyjacker''' is a medal awarded and achieved in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[multiplayer]] for hijacking an aircraft ([[Banshee]], [[Hornet]] or [[Falcon]]). It is represented by a bronze cross with an embedded gold shield, which has an eagle in the center. As this medal is attained, a message appears on the screen, saying "You skyjacked <player's name>".
'''Skyjack''' ('''Skyjacker''' in ''[[Halo 3]]'') is a medal awarded in ''Halo 3'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' [[multiplayer]] (as well as [[campaign]] in ''Reach'') for hijacking an enemy aircraft. 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. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' the eagle is on a yellow roadsign. As this medal is attained, a message appears on the screen, saying "You skyjacked (player's name)". In ''Halo Infinite'' this is a Common-rarity skill medal.

A good tactic to get this medal is to throw a [[Power Drain]], or to shoot an overcharged [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Type-25]]/[[Type-54 plasma pistol|54D Plasma Pistol]] bolt or [[M319 grenade launcher|EMP grenade]] at an incoming aircraft. The aircraft will be stunned, leaving the player an opportunity to hijack it. In ''Halo Infinite'' these tactics can be used with the [[Disruptor]], [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle]] and [[Dynamo grenade]]s to cause an EMP effect, or using a [[Grappleshot]].

The Skyjack medal is the counterpart in some games of the [[Hijack Medal]], in which the player boards a land-based vehicle.


This is the counterpart of the [[Carjacking Medal|Highjack 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.
