The Overkill Medal (also called Killtacular in Halo 2) is awarded for killing four opponents within four seconds of each other in standard multiplayer games and within less time in campaign and Firefight. In Halo 4 multiplayer and Spartan Ops the kills need only be within 4.5 seconds of each other.

Originally, the medal was represented by 4 green stars in a bronze circle. In Halo 4 it represented by four white stars on a forest green circle rimmed with green and brown. Receiving this medal results in the announcer shouting "Overkill!" to the player.
