When the next round starts, use them liberally against the packs of Jackals and Grunts that drop from Phantoms. Because of the weapon's high power and the enemy's low health, this is a good way rack up lots of kills very quickly. This method is especially effective during bonus rounds. | ||

*In ''Halo 3'' multiplayer | *In ''Halo 3'' multiplayer this medal does not repeat if the player kills 10+ opponents within four seconds of the previous kill. In ''Halo 3: ODST'', it is possible to have more Killionaire medals than Killpocalyse medals (or any other below) as multi-kills only award a single multi-kill medal at a time. In all subsequent games, players will be awarded additional Killionaire medals for each multi-kill past 10. This means that players will most often have many more Killionaire medals than many other multi-kill medals in [[campaign]], [[Firefight]], and [[Spartan Ops]]. | ||
