'''Headhunter''' is a gametype in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.{{Ref/Site|RefName="1UP"|URL=http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=1&cId=3178811&p=|SiteName=1Up|PageName=Halo Reach (Xbox 360) Preview}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=variants&cid=25866|SiteName=Bungie.net|PageName=Halo: Reach project page}}

==Overview==
Headhunter is a free-for-all gametype in ''Halo: Reach'', where players fight for flaming skulls and return the collected skulls to their designated (but mobile) deposit zone.<ref name="1UP"/>

To collect skulls, players can either grab the ones that spawn at the start or kill a player. A player with no skulls still drops one at death. When collecting the skulls, players are tagged with a [[navigation point|navpoint]] indicator above their multiplayer models which reveals the amount of skulls collected, even if they are in [[active camouflage]].{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}} The more skulls the players collect, the bigger a target they are. If a player is killed, all of the skulls will be dropped and opposing players will be able to collect the skulls.{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}} In addition, players will not be penalized for carrying the skulls and will be able to access all his/her weapons and abilities. The default game-winning score is 25, though if the player manages to deposit 10 skulls at once, they would obtain a [[Skullamanjaro]]. It is important to note that the player will not receive any points until they deposit their skulls into a territory. After a few seconds pass, the deposit zone will start flashing. This indicates that the zone will move in about three seconds, so waste no time depositing your skulls.

==Medals and awards==
The [[Skullamanjaro]] medal can be achieved in the Headhunter mode by scoring ten skulls at once. Scoring a Skullamanjaro on an [[Anniversary Map Pack|Anniversary map]] in ''Halo: Reach'' unlocks the [[Bounty Hunter]] achievement, while scoring a Skullamajaro in the ''Halo: Reach'' component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' unlocks the [[Negative, Ghostrider]] achievement and the Headhunter [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplate]].
