Star Wars: Battlefront II/Medals

Earning medals increases your stats.

Gunslinger
This medal is received by scoring 6 kills with a pistol without dying. For winning this medal at the Veteran rank or above, you get a precision pistol. The Elite Medal Rank reduces the requirements of Gunslinger to 4 kills with a pistol without dying. This weapon has ammo and clip limits, but also is more powerful than the conventional pistol, does not overheat, and has a scope.

Frenzy
This medal is given to those who score 12 kills with a blaster rifle without dying. For winning this medal at the Veteran rank or above, you get an elite assault rifle. The Elite Medal Rank reduces the requirements of Frenzy to 9 kills with a blaster rifle without dying. This advanced weapon comes with less ammunition than the conventional rifle, but fires burst shots of 3 rounds each and is significantly more powerful. One-shot kills can be achieved very easily with this weapon.

Demolition
This medal is awarded to those who score 4 critical hits on vehicles in a life. For receiving this medal at the Veteran rank or above, you get a remote rocket launcher. The rockets fired from this weapon can be individually guided to hit targets. Also, unlike the other reward weapons that replace their mundane counterparts once obtained, this weapon will be available along with the regular rocket launcher.
 * For a complete list of these spots, refer to Star Wars: Battlefront II/Vehicles.

Technician
This medal is won by slicing your way into an enemy vehicle with a fusion cutter. To those who earn this medal at the Veteran rank or above, Vehicle Regeneration is given. This is similar to the pilot's ability, which slowly regenerates the health of your current vehicle.

Marksman
This medal is achieved by scoring 6 headshots with a sniper rifle without dying. For winning this medal at the Veteran rank or above, you get a particle beam rifle. This weapon is just as accurate as its regular counterpart, but deals enough damage to instantly kill most units without requiring a headshot.
 * This rifle, though more powerful, has a shorter clip (forcing you to reload more often) and much less ammo. Plus, it also only offers one level of zoom, in contrast to the two levels of the original (although its one level zoom is equal to the second level zoom of the original rifle). It also has some strange hit detection issues, sometimes making you unable to score a headshot or even hit the enemy at all.

Regulator
This medal is won by scoring 8 kills with a shotgun in a life. The Elite Medal Rank reduces the requirements of Regulator to 6 kills with a shotgun without dying. Achieving this at the Veteran rank or above earns you the flechette shotgun. This is simply a more powerful and slightly more accurate version of the regular shotgun.

Endurance
Get this medal by scoring 12 points in one life. The Elite Medal Rank reduces the requirements of Endurance to 9 points in one life. The award you get for this medal is Energy Regeneration. Once attained, your stamina bar will recover faster than usual.

Guardian
This medal is awarded when you score 24 points in one life. The Elite Medal Rank reduces the requirements of Guardian to 18 points in one life. The award for this medal is Damage Reduction. This decreases any damage you take by 50%.

War Hero
This medal is won by gaining 36 points in one life. The Elite Medal Rank reduces the requirements of War Hero to 27 points in one life. The award is the Increased Damage bonus, which increases the damage you deal by 50%.
