This article is about the Halo 3 medal. For the Halo 2 medal, see Overkill Medal (Halo 2).

The Overkill Medal is awarded for killing 4 opponents within 4 seconds of each other. It is available in all Multiplayer gametypes and has a Bungie difficulty rating of 7 (out of 10). It is represented by a bronze medal with 4 stars. When someone gets this medal the announcer will shout "Overkill!" to the player that received this medal. In Halo 2, this medal was called Killtacular.

An easy way to get this achievement is to play "Swords" on a small map like Snowbound or Epitaph. Energy Swords provide easy ways to quickly eliminate people- just make sure its a "clean slice".

You can also get this Achievement by camping with a rocket launcher and a few frag grenades in a small map such as Epitaph on a game varient such as Crazy King.

Getting this medal in a ranked free-for-all playlist will earn you the Commando helmet and Ascetic shoulders.
