'''Bulltrue''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[Multiplayer]] [[Halo 3 Medals|medal]] that is awarded when a player kills another player who is in the act of an [[Energy Sword]] lunge. The lunge does not have to be directed at you, as you can get a Bulltrue when someone is lunging at another player. It is represented by a brown diamond with a silver outline and a bull's head in the centre. In the [[Halo 3 Beta]], it was simply a red star, because the Energy Sword wasn't supposed to be found in the Beta's Custom Games and variants. It is easily achieved with dual [[Mauler]]s or a [[Shotgun]]. If you are lucky, an [[Assault Rifle]] or duel-wielded [[SMGs]] or [[Magnum|Magnums]] would even work, if the enemy dies right as the lunge occurs.

The lunge does not necessarily have to be directed at the player who receives the medal; the swordsman can be in the act of lunging at any player. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Reach'' it is represented by a brown diamond with a silver outline and a bull's head in the center. In ''Halo 4'' the bull's head is atop a blue circle and grey cross. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the bull's head is on top of a brown octagon.


==How to achieve the Medal==
The medal is accompanied with the message, "Bulltrue!".
It is actually a very challenging medal to attain, unless you are playing Grifball and your opponent is not very experienced. This medal is slightly easier to obtain if you are a Juggernaut and you melee a person in the action of lunging at you. There is a good chance that you will both die, but you will receive the medal nonetheless. A very popular and hard way to obtain this medal is to hit the the sword user with a headshot by sniping with a beam or sniper rifle at close range.


Another easy way to receive this medal is if you are playing the ''save one bullet'' infection variant. You simply wait for the zombie to get close to you, and then shoot your shotgun at the last second. Even if the player who is wielding the sword is not lunging at you, you can still save someone's life and get the award at the same time.
==Tips==
A Bulltrue is most easily achieved with dual [[Type-52 Mauler|Maulers]], a [[shotgun]], or a [[Z-180 Scattershot|Scattershot]]. If lucky, an [[MA5 series|assault rifle]], dual-wielded [[M7 SMG|SMG]], or [[M6 series|magnums]] would work, if the enemy dies right as the lunge occurs.

Bulltrue is a medal in Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite multiplayer that is awarded when a player kills another player who is in the act of an Energy Sword lunge. The lunge does not necessarily have to be directed at the player who receives the medal; the swordsman can be in the act of lunging at any player. In Halo 3 and Reach it is represented by a brown diamond with a silver outline and a bull's head in the center. In Halo 4 the bull's head is atop a blue circle and grey cross. In Halo 5: Guardians, the bull's head is on top of a brown octagon.

This medal is slightly easier to obtain as a Juggernaut, as increased shielding and damage resistance lead to a non-one-hit-kill with the sword. A popular yet difficult way to obtain this medal is to hit the sword user with a sniper headshot at close range.

Another way to receive this medal is to play Infection or Flood.
