Overkill comes from Halo Reach, the 2010 Bungie shooter for Xbox 360, where longtime announcer Jeff Steitzer calls out multiplayer medals. The medal is awarded for killing four enemies in rapid succession, each within a few seconds of the last, making it rarer and more prestigious than a Double Kill or Triple Kill. As Halo clips were shared on YouTube and in montage culture, the callout escaped the game as shorthand for dominating a lobby, and its booming delivery still signals instant bragging rights for FPS players today.

The Halo Reach Overkill sound effect is the announcer medal call for four rapid kills, used in gaming edits, montages and kill streak highlights.
This is the deep voiced Halo announcer declaring Overkill after a player eliminates four opponents in quick succession in Halo Reach multiplayer. The single word lands with heavy weight and a slight echo, stretched just enough to feel like a reward rather than a simple notification. It captures the rush of a perfect streak, turning a brief moment of skill into something triumphant and a little intimidating. Listeners instantly picture the blue medal popping on screen and the score ticking up, which is why the clip feels satisfying even without any gameplay footage attached.
