'''EMP''' is a [[medal]] awarded for stripping the enemy of its [[shield]]s. It was featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' as the ''EMP Medal'', in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' as the ''EMP Kill'', in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' as the ''EMP Blast'' and in ''[[Halo 4]]'' as the ''EMP Assist''.  

The medal can be awarded in certain modes in each ''Halo'' title. In ''Halo 3'', the medal is only awarded in [[campaign]] when the player removes a Brute's or Jackal's shields with a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma pistol]] or a [[Power drain|Power Drain]], then quickly killing the opponent. Similar applies to ''Halo 3: ODST''<nowiki />'s campaign and [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] mode when a player does so to a Brute, Jackal or an [[Huragok|Engineer]].

In ''Halo: Reach'', the medal is awarded in campaign, Firefight and [[multiplayer]] for killing an enemy after collapsing its shields with an EMP burst from a [[M319 Individual Grenade Launcher|grenade launcher]], an overcharged plasma pistol bolt, or [[Armor lock]]. The player will also receive the medal if their opponent is finished off by another player.

In ''Halo 4'', however, the medal is only awarded for removing an opponent's shields who is then killed by an ally.

 

In its first three titles, the medal is represented by a 16-pointed green star over a 16-pointed gold star, with an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] bolt over the green star. In ''Halo 4'', it is represented by a three lightning bolts shooting out of a blue and white Yin and Yang on a blue circle and inverted grey pentagon.

Performing ten EMP kills against Brutes in any level of ''Halo 3: ODST'' unlocks the [[My Clothes!]] achievement.
