H4 - Flag Kill.png

The Flag Kill medal is awarded by killing an opponent by meleeing them with a flag in your possession. In Halo 4 the medal is also awarded for kills scored with a pistol dual wielded with the flag.

In Halo 4 it is represented by a white flag and skull with an 'X' on the forehead imposed on a blue circle and grey four-pointed star. In prior games it is represented by a white eight-pointed star with a red flag in the middle.

The medal is generally received with a Bone Cracker, Beat Down or Assassin medal, but can also be earned by attacking an enemy with a delayed weapon and grabbing the flag before it hits the target. Methods for this include slow moving projectiles, such as Rockets, or using grenades.

Trivia[edit]

Instead, he mistakenly goes to Blue Base and takes their flag.
