The '''Carjacking''' (or '''Highjacker''' in [[Halo 3]]) Medal is awarded for stealing an occupied vehicle from an opponent. It is available in all [[multi-player]] gametypes where a vehicle is available. It has a [[Bungie]] difficulty rating of 2 out of 10. It is represented by a cross with a U-turn sign on it. After you steal an occupied vehicle, a message appears on your screen. In [[Halo 2]], that message reads: "You boarded an enemy vehicle", while in Halo 3, it reads: "You highjacked player's name". Also, if you hijack and commandeer a person on the back of a [[Warthog]], you will also get an [[Assassination]] medal and the person will almost instantly die. If you happen to get the [[Maybe Next Time Buddy]] Achievement, you will also receive this medal (that is, hijack a vehicle after an opponent has kicked you out of it).

This medal is represented by a U-turn sign on a bronze cross, except in ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' where the cross is grey and turned 45 degrees. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' it is represented by the roadsign only.


After you steal an occupied vehicle, a message appears on your screen. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', that message reads: "You boarded an enemy vehicle", while in ''Halo 3'' and every game since, it reads: "You hijacked (player's name)".
