In ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' it is also awarded for non-headshot kills. In ''Halo 4'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' the medal is only awarded for kills with the [[Sniper Rifle System 99-Series 5 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] as the [[Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle|Beam Rifle]] and [[Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle|Binary Rifle]] award their own medals. In ''Halo Infinite'' it is awarded for a headshot with any Power sniper rifle including the [[Skewer]] and [[SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle|S7 Sniper]].

In ''Halo 2'' through ''Halo: Reach'' it is represented by purple crosshairs on a six-pointed gold star. In ''Halo 4'' it is represented by white crosshairs on a blue circle on top of a grey four-pointed star.
