The Beat Down Medal (Assassin in Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 3: ODST) is awarded for killing an enemy with a melee from behind. In Halo: Reach and Halo 4 the medal is awarded for killing an enemy with a melee from behind that does not result in an assassination. This is achieved by tapping rather than holding down the melee button.
In Halo 2 through Halo: Reach the medal is represented by a ninja on a silver eight-pointed star. In Halo 4 it is a silver ninja on a blue circle on a grey four-pointed star.
Trivia

- Performing seven assassinations in a row without being spotted on any level of Halo 2 Vista unlocks the Silent But Deadly achievement.
- Performing an assassination against an opponent in a Halo 2 Vista multiplayer match unlocks the Assassin achievement.
- Performing five assassinations in a Halo 2 Vista multiplayer match unlocks the Ninja achievement.

- Earning a Beat Down while jetpacking in a Halo: Reach multiplayer matchmaking game on an Anniverary map unlocks the Dive Bomber achievement.
