'''EMP''' is a [[medal]] awarded for stripping the enemy of its [[shield]]s. It was featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' as the ''EMP Medal'', in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' as the ''EMP Kill'', in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' as the ''EMP Blast'' and in ''[[Halo 4]]'' as the ''EMP Assist''.


== Overview ==
[[File:Emp.gif|thumb|EMP Kill Medal]]
The medal can be awarded in certain modes in each ''Halo'' title. In ''Halo 3'', the medal is only awarded in [[campaign]] when the player removes a Brute's or Jackal's shields with a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma pistol]] or a [[Power drain|Power Drain]], then quickly killing the opponent. Similar applies to ''Halo 3: ODST''<nowiki />'s campaign and [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] mode when a player does so to a Brute, Jackal or an [[Huragok|Engineer]].
'''EMP Kill''' is a [[medal]] in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', in the latter called '''EMP Blast'''.


In ''Halo: Reach'', the medal is awarded in campaign, Firefight and [[multiplayer]] for killing an enemy after collapsing its shields with an EMP burst from a [[M319 Individual Grenade Launcher|grenade launcher]], an overcharged plasma pistol bolt, or [[Armor lock]]. The player will also receive the medal if their opponent is finished off by another player.
In ''Halo 3: ODST'', it is awarded when a player kills a [[Brute]] shortly after disabling its [[Power Armor]]<ref>[http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/698676/Halo-3-ODST-Vidoc-Bip-Bap-Boom-Welcome-To-Firefight-Badass-Unlocked.html ''Halo 3: ODST ViDoc Bip. Bap. Boom. Welcome to Firefight. Opened on 15/8/09.'']</ref>, as well as any shielded enemy including a [[Jackal]] equipped with a shield or an [[Huragok|Engineer]].


In ''Halo 4'', however, the medal is only awarded for removing an opponent's shields who is then killed by an ally.
It is represented by a 16-pointed green star over a 16-pointed gold star, with an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] shot over the green star.
 
== Symbol design ==
In its first three titles, the medal is represented by a 16-pointed green star over a 16-pointed gold star, with an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] bolt over the green star. In ''Halo 4'', it is represented by a three lightning bolts shooting out of a blue and white Yin and Yang on a blue circle and inverted grey pentagon.
 
==Trivia==
Performing ten EMP kills against Brutes in any level of ''Halo 3: ODST'' unlocks the [[My Clothes!]] achievement.


In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', it is awarded for killing another player after their shields have been dropped with an EMP burst from either [[Armor Lock]], [[Grenade Launcher]] or overcharged Plasma Pistol shot.
