Of the 119 achievements that are found in Halo Infinite, there is one that has been giving players trouble since the multiplayer of the latest entry of the long-running FPS series released. The “Medic!” achievement tasks players with reviving three allies in the Elimination game mode, a mode that was not and still is not found in the game. With the newest event, Cyber Showdown, currently in full swing and adding a brand new game mode that also has a revive mechanic, players are unsure if the achievement is unlockable in the mode. This guide will explain if you can unlock the Medic achievement in Halo Infinite.
Can You Unlock the Medic Achievement in Halo Infinite?
As said before, Halo Infinite‘s official description of the Medic achievement calls for players to revive friendlies in Elimination while the new mode added to the title is called Attrition. This mode sees two teams of four dueling it out with a limited number of lives. When these respawns run out, teammates need to revive downed allies to continue the fight. This is where the confusion comes in since there is no Elimination mode. Some players thought that this new Attrition mode was either a new name for Elimination or the revives would simply carry over, and with the game’s history of certain achievements not unlocking, it wasn’t clear if this was a bug or simply didn’t fit the parameters of the achievement.

Luckily it was cleared up on Twitter by Community Support & Engagement Coordinator at 343 Industries, Tyler Davis as he replied to a fans inquiry into the matter. The tweet reads: [T]he achievement “MEDIC!” calls for revives in Elimination. The Cyber Showdown event is using the game mode Attrition. This is why it’s not popping for you…” This means that the achievement is still unobtainable since the mode in question is still not in Halo Infinite. It is currently unknown when the mode will be added to the game, but until then the achievement will remain locked.
Both Halo Infinite multiplayer and campaign are now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
