| {{Center|''Were you looking for the medal called [[Bone Cracker|Beat Down]]'' in ''[[Halo 3]]''?''}}

| | |
| The '''Beat Down''' medal ('''Assassin''' in ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'', and ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'' and '''Back Smack''' in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'') is awarded for killing an enemy with a melee from behind. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' , ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' the medal is awarded for killing an enemy with a melee from behind that does not result in an [[assassination]]. This is achieved by tapping rather than holding down the melee button. In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' the medal is awarded in all games and in all modes, in accordance with the requirements of each original game.
| |
| | |
| The medal is awarded in [[multiplayer]] in all six games. It is also awarded in [[Firefight]] and [[Spartan Ops]], and in [[campaign]] in ''Halo 3'', ''ODST'', ''Reach''.

| | |
| In ''Halo 2'' through ''Halo: Reach'' the medal is represented by a ninja on a silver eight-pointed star. In ''Halo 4'' it is a silver ninja on a blue circle on a grey four-pointed star. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' it is represented by a white ninja on a brown cross. In ''Spartan Assault'' and ''Spartan Strike'' it is represented by a shield with a punching fist. in ''Halo Infinite'' it is also represented as a punching fist, inside a green (Common) skill border.
