Good idea, though I'd add the qualifier "but not with the BFG 9000 or any of its assemblies".
Ander Hammer:
A nice idea, but I see it being awarded one of two ways:
Waiting for monsters to crowd in the middle of a shallow barrels level and setting off a chain reaction, or
with the BFG9000, the only non-nuke weapon that could plausibly do it without help.
There aren't many things that do enough damage over a big enough area that you get at the right time for those numbers. Really, this medal cries out for masterfully crafted BFG shots. Menacing with spikes of shotgun shell and encircled with bands of red armor.
Also, is this one shot, or one attack? It seems possible, though unlikely and sort of wasteful, to overcharge a sniper-modded plasma rifle in a long hallway full of 18 formers... if that's even possible in anyone's lifetime.
Maybe instead of 'one shot' it could be a sort of chain system, at least one kill each x seconds/turns, though then of course there's the problem of certain builds getting it on accident on a normal run.

I guess I'm the only one who thought that a quick trip to the City of Skulls would get you these rather easily.
It's not like medals (secret or otherwise) have to be hard, either. Is Aurora Medallion hard? Gutts' Heart? Is Hell Champion Medal, or Hell Armorer Medal, or Grim Reaper's Badge hard? There are plenty of medals you get without even thinking of it, it's okay to have medals on the easy side that make players feel empowered.

There, fixed it for you. But I agree -- medals are to commerate in-game events, and not all in-game events have to be RNG-awfully hard to figure out.

It would still be pretty tricky to hit 18 kills in one shot in the City of Skulls without the BFG.
But yeah. Lower the numbers, allow the BFG, or just attach it to the City if it's the only reasonable place to even begin to try and get the possible badge.
