Medals are preset rewards or bonuses given in Halo: Reach's Campaign, Multiplayer and Firefight modes, when players perform specific actions. These usually involving the killing of enemies or rival players. There are a total of 113 medals in the game, or 114 if the beta only medal is counted, and a total of 118 medal images existing on Bungie.net.
Weapon spree medals are much easier to achieve in Halo: Reach than they were in Halo 3 or ODST. While in previous games the medals required consecutive kills to receive the medal (i.e. five consecutive kills with the sniper rifle, shotgun, sword etc.) the player now only needs to score five, ten and fifteen kills without dying.
In addition, multi-kill medals are also handed out much more readily. In Halo 3: ODST a player only receives a single medal per multi-kill (i.e. achieving four kills awards an Overkill medal), however in Reach the game awards all of the lower multi-kill medals as well (i.e. four kills results in an Overkill, Triple Kill and a Double Kill medal).
This is a list of the medals awarded in Halo: Reach.
