The Destiny Crucible is a place where guardians put themselves against one another in a series of objective and kill based scenarios to hone their skills. While winning is the ultimate objective there are small victories to be had throughout any match. These objectives which can include getting a certain amount of headshots, splattering an enemy with an interceptor, or pulling off a last second victory, all award medals which represent your skills and even give your team a small boost in points.

These medals can be tracked on your Guardians bungie.net stats page, but to get you off on the right foot here's a "cheat sheet" containing a complete list of the medals you can earn in the Crucible.
