'''Extermination''' is a special medal awarded in [[Halo 3]] [[Multiplayer]] for getting at least an [[Overkill Medal (Halo 3)|overkill]] on the opposing team that results in all the team being dead. It is represented by a gray cross with a red skull. This medal is only awarded if the entire opposing team is exterminated.


This medal is extremely difficult to earn, as you rarely find all of the same team together, and it is hard to stay alive killing at least four enemies within four seconds, each within those four seconds.<br>
'''Extermination''' is a medal in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' [[multiplayer]].
This is most commonly received on Team SWAT, as you only have to get headshots, there is also a possibility of obtaining this in [[Grifball]]. Another easy way to get this is by obtaining the [[Rocket Launcher]] (or any other explosive weapon) and hope the other team is near each other in Ranked Team Slayer game, due to there being only four opponents, not five like in Social Slayer, but sometimes you can get this medal by luck using the [[Spartan Laser]].<br>
 
The easiest, however is to get an overkill in a 4v4 objective game, as the respawn time is longer. Also this is possible in big team but this is way more difficult due to the ammount of players.
In the first three appearances, it is a Legendary medal awarded for killing the last alive player on the opposing team with at least an [[Overkill Medal|Overkill]] that results in the entire team being dead at once.

Extermination Halo 3 Medal Icon

Extermination is a medal in Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4 and Halo Infinite multiplayer.

In the first three appearances, it is a Legendary medal awarded for killing the last alive player on the opposing team with at least an Overkill that results in the entire team being dead at once. In the first two games, it is represented by a gray cross with a red skull, and in Halo 4 it represented by a white skull on a red hexagon on top of a 16-pointed grey star.

In Halo Infinite, it is a Mythic medal which is awarded for solely wiping the enemy team in a round of Elimination.

Summary[edit]

This medal can be considered very difficult to earn, requiring a player to not only encounter four enemies together but also successfully and quickly kill the team. The medal is likely more common in game modes such as SWAT as time-to-kill can be instantaneous.

It can also be obtained by killing the person who is in a team consisting only of himself, four times within four seconds of each kill.

In Halo: Reach, it is possible to earn an Extermination without getting an Overkill.[1] The exact specifics are unknown, but the medal seems to require one to get 4 kills on the same team in about the maximum time you can get an overkill in (12 seconds) instead of the Overkill medal itself.

Halo Infinite[edit]

The medal was only available within the Extermination gamemode, where the player performs an Extermination within one round. In August 9, 2023, the medal will be available in all multiplayer modes via an update during Season 04: Infection.[2]
