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 green 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, login into this page here and scroll down. 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. | 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 your objective. | Reward is a unique skin for many suit slot items that is definitely 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 (e.g. tactical assault rucksack becomes a satchel with 10 slots.) | |
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 five gigawatts to gib you. | None | |
Fun Times | Participate in one of the monthly-ish contests on the forums. | 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 | |
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 | |
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 | None | |
Man with a Scan | Complete the Engineer objective of having 10 or more objects scanned in the ruckingeur kit. | 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. | |
MISSION COMPLETE | As an Antagonist complete your objectives. | None | |
Monkey Duty | Complete the Security Officer objective and Head of Security objective of keeping Monsieur Stirstir, the monkey in the Brig wearing the orange jumpsuit and beret, and making sure they come to no harm. 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 nor have 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 jumpsuits and coats. It reskins coats into an "inspector's short coat" and jumpsuit-slot items into an "inspector's uniform". This doesn't work on wizard robes or the various Syndicate space suits used by Nuclear Operatives, e.g. the classic red space suit, the specialist combat dress, etc. | |
Noah's Shuttle | Have 6 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. | None | |
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%. You can also apply these ten patches to yourself. | 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.
|
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 | |
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. | None | |
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 objective of escaping on the shuttle alive while wearing any piece of mailman's attire. This can be gotten by either bugging a Mailman for their clothes or finding it elsewhere. | 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! | 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 | |
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 | |
Too Cool | Win one of the monthly contests that occur on the forums. | 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|Medibot/cardboard box/Medibot in a cardboard box, escapes on the shuttle. The bot is normally found in Medbay. | None | |

Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see | There are actually two ways to obtain this medal:
|
