'''Yoink''' is a [[multiplayer]], [[campaign]] and [[Firefight]] [[medal]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' that is awarded for killing an enemy while they are in the process of being [[assassination|assassinated]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_052810 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 05.28.10'']</ref> It is the opposite of [[Showstopper]], which is gained by killing an enemy that is in the process of performing an assassination. Though the medal can be earned by interrupting an enemy's assassination in [[Free-For-All]] and [[Multi-Team]] games, in standard team games the only way to earn the medal is to steal kills from teammates.  

*Its appearance is superficially similar to the ''[[Maybe Next Time Buddy]]'' achievement in ''[[Halo 3]]''.  

*Its name is a reference to ''Red vs Blue'' in which when a character steals something, they say "Yoink!"

*The word ''Yoink!'' is used on the [[Halo Bulletin]]s and Halo Waypoint's forums to censor curse words, similar to [[Blam!]].

*The Yoink medal does not appear in ''[[Halo 4]]''. Though players can still kill players who are being assassinated, no special medal is awarded. It is possible the medal was discontinued because [[343 Industries]] did not wish to reward players for stealing kills from teammates.
