A visual guide listing the medals you can earn in PvP (work in progress).
Also covering some achievements related to the medals.
Introduction
Medals don’t really do anything in the game, they are simply used to acknowledge you accomplished a specific goal/task in a PvP match. You receive the XP for completing the task, not for the medal itself.
The medals are divided in 4 rarities (based on the difficulty of achieving the task):
- Green is Uncommon
- Blue is Rare
- Purple is Epic
- Gold is Mythic
Below you will find the medals classified by rarity, then by alphabetical order.
** As noted earlier, this is a work in progress so I still miss some **

Win a game by dominating the enemy team
Earned only at the end of the game and I’ve only seen it in Quick Match (4 vs 4). I don’t know the specific threshold but winning a Slayer match while the other team isn’t even halfway there or winning a Strongholds game without allowing the enemy team to score a single point are two examples.

Kill 3 enemies in quick succession
Mythic / gold
** Earning you first Mythic medal will unlock the Slaying with Style achievement .**
There are others but I have yet to earn them.

Kill an enemy by leaping over them and hitting them from behind with melee
I unlocked it by jumping at an enemy from a rock but before landing I attacked with the Energy sword and got the kill and medal. So the way of unlocking it may not exactly follow the description.

Kill 4 enemies in quick succession
Basically a quad kill but worded differently.

Kill 20 enemies without dying
Similar in look to the Running riot medal but has 7 spikes instead of 6.

Kill 15 enemies without dying
That’s the minimum number of kills without dying required to get a mythic medal.
