The [[Weapon skins (Halo 4)|weapon skins]] and [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor permutations]] available with the Champions Bundle were not included within the ''Halo 4'' component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' at launch, though the two maps and Ricochet gametype were. The launch of [[Season 4: Reclaimer]] in November [[2020]] saw the inclusion of all armor and [[Weapon skins (Halo 4)|weapon skins]] from across the bundle's various components within the collection, with 343 Industries expressing interest in bringing the Bullseye Pack and Infinity Armor Pack permutations to the game as well. This interest was later expressed with the [[MCC Insider Program|Flighting]] release for [[Season 7: Elite]], seeing the four armor permutations available for use as part of the collection. The Resistor Tactical Package is not presently included in ''The Master Chief Collection''. | |||

===Miscellaneous=== | |||
*The first trailer for the Champions Bundle DLC shows [[PREFECT-class Mjolnir]] with a different skin pattern on the armor's wrists, an added decal on the helmet's forehead, and the player's secondary color applied to their player model's fingertips. These would be altered for the DLC's launch. | |||
The first trailer for the Champions Bundle DLC | *Champions Bundle DLC items, including the new armor sets, weapon skins, and the Resistor tactical package, do not appear in Spartan Ops. Instead, weapons revert to their default appearance and armor pieces are replaced by Recruit armor. Equipping Resistor causes the tactical package to automatically revert back to "None". | ||
**With the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of Season 4 on all platforms, the use of these weapon skins now applies to Spartan Ops. | |||
