The Assassin medal (Assassination in Halo 4) is awarded for performing an assassination on an opponent from behind in Halo: Reach and Halo 4 multiplayer. It is also awarded in campaign and Firefight in Reach, and in Spartan Ops in Halo 4.
The Assassin medal is represented by a knife on a circle in front of a stylized X. In Halo: Reach the circle is red; in Halo 4 it is blue. After the player kills an opponent by performing an assassination on an opponent from behind, a message appears on-screen that states: "You assassinated (player's name)."
