| The '''Bone Cracker''' ('''Beat Down''' in ''[[Halo 3]]'', '''Pummel''' in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', '''Melee''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'', and '''Melee Kill''' in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'') medal is awarded for killing an opponent with a [[melee]] attack from any direction other than from behind. Melees from behind will result in either a [[Beat Down]] or an [[Assassin]]ation.
| | It is represented by an inverted silver star with a dark green fist. After you kill an opponent with a melee attack, a message appears on your screen that says: "You beat down (player's name)". It is also awarded if a [[Covenant]] [[Energy Sword]] or [[Gravity Hammer]] is used to kill an opponent from the front. In ''Halo: Reach'', after killing an opponent with a melee attack, the message "You pummeled (player's name)" will appear. |

| In ''Halo 2'' through ''Halo: Reach'' it is represented by an inverted five-point silver star with a dark green fist. In ''Halo 4'' and ''The Master Chief Collection'' the medal is represented by a silver fist in a blue circle on a gray four-point star. In ''Halo 3'' after you kill an opponent with a melee attack, a message appears on your screen that says: "You beat down (player's name)." In ''Halo: Reach'' the message "You pummeled (player's name)" will appear. In ''Halo 4'' the message says "You meleed (player's name)."

| | |
| In ''Halo 3'', ''ODST'', and ''Reach'' it also awarded if an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] or [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer]] is used to kill an opponent with the right trigger. In ''Halo 4'' these weapons award their own medals. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' the Melee Kill medal is awarded for kills with the Gravity Hammer but not the Energy Sword, which again has its own medal.
