The Killtacular medal (also called Kill Frenzy in Halo 2) is awarded for killing five opponents within four seconds of each other in standard multiplayer games (and Halo: Spartan Assault) and within less time in campaign and Firefight. In Halo 4 multiplayer and Spartan Ops, the kills need only be within 4.5 seconds of each other.
Originally, the medal was represented by a silver circle with five purple stars. In Halo 4 it is represented by five white stars on a green circle rimmed with light green and brown. The medal is monochrome and imposed on a shield in Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike. When a player earns this medal, the announcer will shout "Killtacular!" to the player that received this medal.
In the Master Chief Collection edition of Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer, this medal is awarded for killing four enemies.[citation needed]
Trivia
- The medal's original incarnation is the only multiplier medal which has the stars upside down.
- Prior to the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, earning this medal in Halo: Reach matchmaking unlocked the Jorge-052 helmet avatar award.
