First Strike
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Halo: Reach final version.
First Strike is a medal awarded in Halo: Reach and Halo 4.[1] It is awarded for getting the first kill in a Multiplayer match.[2]
Trivia
- 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.
- The achievement "Yes, Sensei" is unlocked upon earning a First Strike Medal in matchmaking. Once the achievement is gained you 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.
