'''Shotgun Spree''' is a spree [[medal]] awarded in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[Multiplayer]], [[Campaign]] and [[Firefight]]. In ''Halo: 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' it is awarded for killing ten opponents in a row with the [[Shotgun]] without dying. In ''Halo: Reach'' the medal does not require kills to be consecutive, just that the player kill ten enemies with the shotgun without dying.

The '''Open Season''' is a spree medal awarded in [[Halo 3]] and [[Halo: Reach]] [[Multiplayer]] or [[Halo 3: ODST]] [[Firefight]] mode for killing 10 opponents in a row with the [[Shotgun]] without dying. [[Melee]]s with the Shotgun do not contribute towards gaining this medal.


Melees with the shotgun do not count toward the medal.
It is represented by a bronze five-pointed star with three green shotgun shells. This medal can be easily obtained through many maps, but is easiest to get on common camping spots or in objective-based games where the focus is drawn away from killing. Especially on maps such as [[Epitaph]], [[Foundry]], [[Guardian]], and [[Orbital]].

*[[Snowbound]] is an easy map to acquire this medal on. Grab the Shotgun in the caverns below the surface, then patrol that same underground area, utilizing the energy doors and narrow corridors to trap opponents.

*Guardian is another easy map on which to obtain this medal. Just camp at the vent where you got the Shotgun, and look out for the action above. You can also camp near the yellow lift.
