Medals

Just like many other games, Goonstation has Medals. They function much like achievements/medals systems in other games in that they're basically Goonstation's way of rewarding you for exploring content and recognizing the progress you've made in SS13. Most of the time, it's just a nice little yellow notification to everyone on the server, but some medals will reward you (purely cosmetic) skins!

How to Check Which Medals You've Earned

To check out which medals you've earned and when you earned them, look up your username here to find your Goonhub player record. Your medals are shown on your right, with your most recent one at the top. You can also enter the Medals command in-game to quickly see which medals you have.

How to Redeem Medal Rewards

You can see what medal rewards you can get and redeem them by using the Claim Reward verb in the Commands tab or typing it out in the command bar. Note, you must be in-game for it to properly work; if a round hasn't started yet or you haven't joined the round, you'll just get a blank list!

Secret Content Policy on Medals

Are medals secret? The answer is more complicated than you think:

• The existence/names of medals is not secret, in the same way the existence of secret chems is not secret. That means you can mention there's, say, the Fish medal without having to preface it as spoilers or refer to it as "that medal with the welcome mat icon".
• The rewards for medals are not secret. It's fine to mention, for example, that Fish allows you to make a backpack into a satchel skin.
• The method of earning for certain medals is secret. Whether it falls under this umbrella depends on the medal, but generally if the medal's related to secret content, e.g. the Adventure Zone, the way you earn it is secret as well. If you're not sure if it's alright to divulge how to acquire a certain medal, don't be afraid to ask an admin!

Don't forget the spirit of the secret content rules: respect those who don't want spoilers. Some people like the process of discovering how to earn medals; try not to take their joy away from them. You can reveal secret content if a) the person explicitly consents (and silence is not consent) and b) you do it over private channels, e.g. Discord PM.

List of Medals

Non-Secret Medals

Medal Name	Icon	How It's Earned	Reward
1.21 Jiggawatts		Complete the Chief Engineer objective of earning 1 Million credits from the PTL. Great Scott!	None
40K		Complete the Miner objective of fabricating 3 industrial armor suits by the end of the round.	Reward is a salvager-themed AI skin, for all the asteroids you've sucked out of their reach.
A shocking demise		As an Arcfiend, stop six hearts in a single shift.	None
Better to burn out, than fade away		Complete the Scientist objective and Research Director objective of escaping on the emergency shuttle while on fire with the chemical Silver Sulfadiazine in your system.	None
Bill Masen		Complete the Botanist objective of having three mutated plants alive at the end of the round.	None
Black and Blue		As in, your corpse is black and blue. Blue, because you're dead and aren't getting oxygen, and black, because you died with 400 seconds of Burning, at which point the tooltip for the status effects says you're "extremely on fire". Dying via the suicide command renders you ineligible for this medal.	None
Block Stacker		Score 30,000 points on Robustris Pro.	Reward is a robustris-themed AI skin.
Bury the Dead		Complete the Chaplain objective of having zero corpses on station at the end of the round.	None
Call 1-800-CODER		runtime error: Cannot execute player.unlock_medal() (Cause Goonstation's code to return an error)	None
Contributor		Contribute to Goonstation by coding, creating sprites, making content, or adding to the wiki. This medal can only be specifically given to people by admins. <3	Reward is access to the contributor rewards which include the ability to set your skin tone to any color and a very goofy scream you can pick.
Cream of the Crop		As a Wrestler complete all of your objectives.	None
Damned		Die via the suicide command; just enter suicide in the command bar/text parser at the bottom of your screen. The command offers a lot of different ways to die depending on what objects you're holding, what devices you're next to, and whether you're a human, cyborg, etc., and they all make you eligible for the medal, so just pick one you like. Just go through with it; if you use the command but cancel at the prompt, you won't get the medal, so merely entering the command isn't enough.	None
Dangerous Game		As a hunter collect enough a high enough value of skulls to complete your objective.	None
Dead or alive, you're coming with me		Complete the Security Officer objective or Head of Security objective of having an antagonist in handcuffs on the escape shuttle at the end of the round.	Reward is an relic skin for security jumpsuits based on the security jumpsuits from the olden days.
Dracula Jr.		As a Vampire accumulate enough blood to complete the "Accumulate at least [number] units of blood in total" objective.	Reward is a unique skin that lets you turn an absurdly stylish cape into a strange vampire outfit, which is totally not a reference to any anime vampires.
DUI		Driving under the influence while on a MULEBot, specifically. Run someone over with a MULEBot while riding on it and while you have some ethanol in your system. One unit, ten, hundred, doesn't matter how much. This can hurt quite a lot, so if you're not an antagonist, don't do this without a good reason. (If you are an antag, go right ahead.)	None
Expendable		Die as a Revolutionary, specifically a regular one, not a Head Revolutionary. If you died via the suicide verb, it doesn't count towards this medal, but otherwise, it doesn't matter how you go, comrade.	None
Fell down the stairs		Die while handcuffed. Again, it doesn't matter how you die, so long as you didn't use the suicide command for it (which is somewhat of a shame since cuffs have a unique suicide.) Having shackles doesn't count for this, but zipties/plastic cuffs and silver handcuffs do, as do regular handcuffs, obviously. Since the code counts them as handcuffs, being duct-taped also works.	None
Fish		Late join into an ongoing round for the first time.	Reward is a satchel skin for backpacks. There is a unique satchel skin for pretty much every variant, e.g. medic backpack becomes medic's satchel, travel backpack becomes a travel satchel. If there isn't a variant, it becomes a grey satchel. Two backpacks cannot be made into satchels: the tactical assault rucksack and the salvager rucksack.
For Your Ohm Good		Get vaporized by walking into an extremely high-power power transmission laser. The laser needs somewhere in the range of at least 200 Megawatts to gib you.	None
Fun Times		Participate in one of the contests on the forums. These used to be monthly, but now they're enacted on admin discretion. Contests usually last a few weeks, and the admins take care to announce them, so as long as you check back on the forums from time to time, you won't miss out.	Reward is an ability to transform into a possessed participation ribbon when you're a ghost, allowing you to click on someone to stick yourself onto them to show them your appreciation.
Glass Ceiling		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of having a non-assistant ID assigned to you at the end of the round. This ranges from easy to impossible depending on the presence of the Head of Personnel.	None
Good Feasting		As a werewolf, reach your objective number of victims fed on.	None
Gore Fest		Get gibbed. If you're unfamiliar with that term, it means your body basically explodes into a mess of body parts and assorted remains, often due to an explosion. It doesn't necessary have to be human remains; getting gibbed as a cyborg, critter, etc. counts. Unlike many other death-related medals, this one doesn't care if you used the suicide command.	None
Guardin' Gnome		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of ensuring Gnome Chompski is on the emergency shuttle OR escape on the emergency shuttle as any role with Gnome Chompski in your inventory. Gnome Chompski can be found in hidden locations on several maps. Be careful not to lose sight of him! He teleports when he is out of sight.	None
High Five!		While there is indeed a high-five emote, you don't earn it via that. Instead, you need to shock someone with stun gloves.	None
HIGH VOLTAGE		Get electrocuted in some way; you don't necessarily have to die because of it. The game actually offers quite a few ways to earn this: getting shocked by a wire, an APC, or a door all work as you'd expect, but so does walking into an active singularity engine's containment field, getting zapped by a GuardBuddy with an Elektro-Arc tool module, and getting hit by any of the various Adventure Zone enemies that attack with electricity.	None
honk HONK mother FU-		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of wearing at least one piece of Clown clothing at the end of the round.	None
HUMANOID MUST NOT ESCAPE		Die on the escape shuttle. Doesn't matter how, so long as it wasn't through the suicide command. Since the shuttle is so tightly packed, it's a frequent target for antagonists on a murder spree, so you might earn this medal without even trying to.	Reward is a malfunctioning AI skin. NOTE: This does not actually make you malfunction, it is just for flavor.
I don't give a shit		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of having your butt by any means at the end of the round. A safe bet for having your butt removed is usually visiting Robotics though they may want it for reasons.	None
I helped!		End a round as a Security Assistant.	None
I'm In		Successfully gain superuser access on a TermOS terminal via the su command. The AI, Captain, Cyborgs, Head of Security, and Research Director all spawn with superuser access, and it's possible to spoof it via certain commands.	Reward is a older, bulkier AI skin.
It's frickin' freezing in here, Mr. Bigglesworth		Complete the Medical Doctor objective and Medical Director objective of having the Medical Objects#Cryogenic Healing Pod on and under 225K at the end of the round.	None
It's just a flesh wound!		Make it to Central Command (aka, CentCom) with a bullet (or more) embedded in you. The precise type doesn't matter, and you can have multiple bullets lodged in you. Shrapnel doesn't count.	None
It's not 'Door to Heaven'		Complete the Engineer objective of having at least two functional command teleporters	Reward is a unique pilot suit skin for jumpsuits.
Jimi Heselden		Ride a segway into outer space/the sea. A reference to Jimi Heselden, an executive (but not founder or inventor) of Segway, Inc. who famously ran off a cliff while on a Segway. He died as a result of that, but you don't actually need to die to earn this medal, just enter space/sea.	None
Life, uh... finds a way		Complete the Geneticist objective and Medical Director objective of having at least 5 people scanned in the Clone Console. Cloning people does remove them from the list of people scanned, so it would be in good practice to scan anyone that is cloned.	None
Manhattan Project		Successfully destroy the station with a nuclear detonation as a Nuclear Operative	This indirectly boosts your chances of getting selected as Nuclear Operative commander. When the game is picking players for that role, it prioritizes people who have this medal.
Man with a Scan		Complete the Engineer objective of having 10 or more objects scanned in the ruckingeur kit.	None
Many names, many faces		As a Changeling, complete the Changeling objective "Absorb the DNA of at least [absorb_count] more crew members in addition to the one you started with, and escape on the shuttle alive."	None
Meth is a hell of a drug		Complete the Scientist objective and Research Director objective of ending the round with methamphetamine in your system.	Reward is a special lab coat skin with purple stripes. If you have the alternative jumpsuit spacebux purchase active, the coat will be green instead.
Misclick		Pry up a floor tile from some flooring using a crowbar; this is specifically for intact flooring, so you can't get this by removing burnt or broken tiles. The joke is that people fighting with crowbars often miss and target the floor instead of their opponent, accidentally prying floor tiles instead of the other person's face.	None
MISSION COMPLETE		As an Antagonist complete your objectives.	None
Monkey Duty		Complete the "Keep Monsieur Stirstir brigged but also make sure that he comes to absolutely no harm" Security Officer, Security Assistant, and Head of Security objective. This is quite difficult to do as monkeys tend to use tables to filp into walls and other objects. It would be best to check on Stirstir regularly and make sure they aren't hurt and haven't been taken or murdered by a Traitor.	Reward is a special "Colorful Beret" skin that turns a hat you're wearing into a beret of a random color. It doesn't have to be a beret, for it can any sort of hat in general, so long as it isn't a helmet.
Mostly Armless		When the round ends, you need to be at Central Command/CentCom with both your arms missing. You need to be playing a human to earn this one; while you can wind up a cyborg without any arms at round-end, it won't get you this medal.	None
Neither fashionable noir stylish		Complete the Detective objective of wearing your coat, hat, and uniform at the end of the round.	Reward is the "Inspector's Clothes" skin set for the detective hat (including the DetGadget Hat and its scuttlebot), detective jumpsuit, detective coat, black gloves, shoulder holster, and detective boots. The set is essentially a blue-black alternate skin and has nothing to do with the Inspector. You do not need to be a Detective to redeem it, but given the items involved, it certainly would help.
Noah's Shuttle		Have 7 station pets on the shuttle when it arrives at Central Command. Station pets include pretty much every Critter (i.e. no monkeys) that has a name, e.g. Heisenbee, Sylvester, Jones the Cat, "jons the catte", the Pool space seals--basically, if the end of round stats mentions they escaped on the shuttle at the end, it counts towards this medal. Pets from Pet Person do not count for this.	Reward converts a pet carrier you're holding into a shiny golden version. (I.e. it does not give you a carrier.) The carrier still functions as normal, but now it looks hella fabulous.
OW! MY BALLS!		Some places just can't take the pain. Get groin-punched by Senator Death Badman as a result of ingesting mimicillium.	None
Party Hard		Die next to a tube of (deployed) neon lining or with a glowstick (any kind) in your inventory while drunk. Any level of drunkenness is fine.	None
Patchwork		Complete the Medical Doctor objective and Medical Director objective of having used ten or more medical patches on injured people in a single round. A person is only counted as injured if their health is below 90%. Patches applied to yourself don't count.	Reward is a unique skin for a lab coat that has red medical doctor markings. If you have the alternative jumpsuit spacebux purchase active, the coat will be blue instead.
Primordial		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of escaping on the escape shuttle as a monkey. This can easily be achieved by going to Genetics and requesting they turn you into a one.	None
Primum non nocere		Complete the Medical Doctor objective and Medical Director objective of not preforming a single violent act the entire round. This means that you cannot punch, use a weapon, or shoot anyone even if it is in self defense. You can still disarm and grab people without breaking your oath.	Reward is a unique floral skin for medical scrubs. You must be wearing scrubs in order to claim this medal.
Progenitor		Complete the Roboticist Doctor objective and Medical Director objective of having at least three living Cyborgs at the end of the round.	None
Puerile humour		Complete the Roboticist objective and Medical Director objective of having at least five buttbots on station at the end of the round. Getting you hands on butts should be easy considering that some Staff Assistants will sometimes come to you for this.	None
Red Hood		There are two ways to earn this. The first is to get your head cut off through surgery. Getting decapitated via a katana or a suicide doesn't count. The second is to get your face disfigured due to mixing fluorosulfuric acid without a proper mask on or getting splashed with any of the various acids or grog.	None
Reefer Madness		Complete the Botanist objective of having no Cannabis plants, seeds, or products inside botany at the end of the round. This does in fact have the obvious loop hole that you can simply grow and store your cannabis elsewhere on station or just move it all at the end of the round.	None
Reserved Parking		Have the emergency shuttle land on you. You can't be in a pod, locker, or anything else that might protect you, meaning that you'll get gibbed by being squished.	None
Shit Fest		Blow yourself up with Empowered High-Pressure Intestines.	None
Shit for brains		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of having your own butt on your head when you escape on the shuttle. A safe bet for having your butt removed is usually visiting Robotics though they may want it for reasons.	None
Silent Running		Complete the Roboticist objective and Medical Director objective of having at least five Medibots on station at the end of the round. This does include the Medibot named "Head Surgeon" that sometimes can be seen in Medbay.	None
Slow Burn		Complete the Chief Engineer and Engineer objective of having all furnaces on station running. Furnaces can be found in Engineering and sometimes the Sauna depending on the map.	The reward is a hotrod welding helmet skin for any welding helmets.
Smooth Operator		Complete the Medical Doctor objective and Medical Director objective of being completely unharmed when the escape shuttle leaves for Central Command.	None
Spotless		Complete the one of the Janitor objectives of keeping the Bar, Brig, or Medbay completely clean with no blood, gibs, oil, or other messes staining the floor at the end of the round.	Reward is a special red skin for the bucket. You must be holding a bucket in you hand to claim this medal.
Suitable? How about the Oubliette?!		Complete the Head of Security Objective of having an Antagonist of any type in the brig and handcuffed at the end of the round. Dead or alive. This is generally poor practice against most antagonists but is encouraged on Head Revolutionaries as this counts them as "dead" even if they are alive.	None
Tax Haven		Complete the Quartermaster objective of accumulating a budget of 50K credits. This ranges from easy to difficult depending of how savvy you and your fellow QMs are with purchases and exports, how often you need to make purchases, and randomly stumbling upon high value items such as starstone or stamped gold bullion	None
That tasted funny		Eat a dish with manmeat that came from a Clown. Get it, honk honk? Alternatively, as a Werewolf, consume a Clown via the Maul victim ability.	None
The mail always goes through		Complete the Staff Assistant and Technical Trainee objective of "Escape on the shuttle alive wearing at least one piece of mail courier clothing." This can be gotten by asking Cargo Bay if they have any mail/postmaster clothes, bugging a Mail Courier for their clothes, or finding it elsewhere.	None
The Syndicate Connection		Complete the Traitor objective of rescuing Monsieur StirStir, the monkey wearing an orange beret and orange prisoner jumpsuit, from the brig and making sure they escape alive on the shuttle. This objective is complicated by the fact other traitors could have a conflicting objective.	None
This object menaces with spikes of...		Make a custom mining tool with a Mining Power of at least 600. Doesn't matter which type of tool or materials used, just get it high as you can!	Reward is a industrial AI skin plated with alloys as shiny as they are mechanically useless.
This station is ours!		As a head revolutionary, live to see your revolution come to a success!	None
Through the fire and flames		We carry on! While the name references the hit DragonForce song, getting this medal is much more mundane than its name or image might suggest. While on fire, you need to stop, drop, and roll by pressing the RESIST button on your HUD (Hotkey: Z for Goon WASD, C for /tg/style WASD). Clicking on the Burning status effect icon will attempt to make you do this automatically.	None
Tipsy		Complete the Detective objective of having ethanol in your system at the end of the round.	None
To the stars		As a Flockmind or Flocktrace who has been in the Flock some time, successfully transmit the Signal.	None
Too Cool		Win one of the contests that occur on the forums. There used to be a contest every month, but now they're held basically whenever the admins feel like it. They usually announce these contests, and the window to submit entries usually lasts at least a week or more, so you don't have to worry about missing out if you check on the forums every so often.	Reward is an "emote" of a "shelterbee", which, when used, pulls up a picture of the shelterbee that appears above your head and disappears shortly after. This medal also lets you type :shelterbee: in OOC to show that same bee.
Too Fast Too Furious		Activate rocket shoes while on a wheelchair, like in that gif. This kills you.	None
Unlike the director, I went to college		Have your Clown Application approved on the forums or have a clown that has claimed the reward willingly give you a diploma.	Reward is a graduation cap and diploma that is only claimable if you are a clown. Honk!
Unperson		Complete the Head of Personnel objective of being alive but not being on the station or escape level at the end of the round. This means you must be in either the Debris field, Mining level, Trench, or any adventure zone. Z-level	None
Untapped Potential		Complete the Traitor objective of killing all other antagonists	None
Vacuum Sealed		Complete the Staff Assistant objective of having a space suit in your inventory or be wearing it. NOTE:Diving suits also count as space suits for this medal.	None
Vehicular Manslaughter		Drive a Space Pod/minisub/car into someone and do enough damage that they enter critical condition, which is when they hit below 0 health and start dying. While "manslaughter" means the victim died (accidentally), the victim does not actually have to die for this to be earned.	None
We didn't start the fire		Complete the Scientist objective and Research Director objective of ensuring that there are no burnt floors in Chemistry. Any tiles that happened to be burned by foolishness can easily be fixed with Crowbar and some floor tiles if you are feeling fancy.	A special round bottomed beaker skin.
What's this box doing here?		Complete the Staff Assistant objective and Medical Director objective of ensuring Head Surgeon, the Medibot/cardboard box/Medibot in a cardboard box, escapes on the shuttle. The bot is normally found in Medbay.	None
Where's the smoking gun?		Complete the Detective objective of smoking a cigarette at the end of the round.	None
Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see		Complete the Scientist objective and Research Director objective "Create a portal to the void".	None
Yield		That is, yield to death. While dying, use the succumb command; you enter this via the text parser/command bar on the bottom. If you were dying because you used the suicide command earlier, it doesn't count.	None
You're a mean one...		As a Grinch complete your objectives.	None
You're no Elminster!		As a Wizard complete your objectives.	None
