In Halo 4 multiplayer and Spartan Ops, the kills need only be within 4.5 seconds of each other.

Originally, the medal was represented by a silver circle with five purple stars. In Halo 4 it is represented by five white stars on a green circle rimmed with light green and brown. The medal is monochrome and imposed on a shield in Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike. When a player earns this medal, the announcer will shout "Killtacular!" to the player that received this medal.

In the Master Chief Collection edition of Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer, this medal is awarded for killing four enemies.[citation needed]
