This article is about the medal. For other uses, see First Strike (disambiguation).

First Strike is a medal awarded in Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and in all multiplayer modes in Halo: The Master Chief Collection (save Halo 3) for scoring the first kill in a Multiplayer round or match.^[1]^[2] Although awarded only once in a standard one-round game, it is awarded multiple times in gametypes with multiple rounds such as Grifball, Infection, Flood, 1 Flag CTF and Sing Bomb Assault.

Trivia[edit]

The Medal is a reference to the Halo novel titled "First Strike" and the common term "First Blood" in many other games.
A bug in the multiplayer beta caused this medal to be reset upon leaving a host migration; the first player to score a kill thereafter earned the medal.
Prior to the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, the achievement "Yes, Sensei" was unlocked upon earning a First Strike Medal in matchmaking. Once the achievement is gained players could also unlock the UA/Base Security [W] armor from Halo Waypoint.
In the postgame stats, this medal will always appear as the top medal of any game.
