'''Skulls''' are gameplay modifiers with the appearance of a [[human]] [[skull]] featured in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. Like in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]'', the skulls are no longer easter eggs in-game, and can also be accessed in the [[campaign]] menu without claiming them in campaign levels. A total 38 skulls are included in the collection, including several unique additions to ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''.<ref name="your journey">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/bulletins/the-halo-bulletin-your-journey-begins '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: Your Journey Begins'']</ref> | '''Skulls''' are gameplay modifiers with the appearance of a [[human]] [[skull]] featured in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.

Skulls in ''The Master Chief Collection'' are divided into two categories: Scoring and Non-Scoring. Scoring skulls increase the challenge and reward players with higher score multipliers or bonuses to base enemy values when turned on. Non-Scoring skulls can either be neutral, such as Grunt Birthday Party, or in cases of cheat-like skulls, have a score multiplier of zero. Zero multiplier skulls like Scarab disqualify level times and scores from being recorded on the leaderboard and disable score and time-based achievements. | Skulls in ''The Master Chief Collection'' are divided into two categories: Scoring and Non-Scoring.
