'''Weapon skins''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' allow players to customize the appearance of their [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]]'s [[loadout]] weapons. Weapon skins can be unlocked via progression in [[Specializations]], purchasing specific editions of the game and DLC, and finally, by buying specific figures from [[McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|Series 2]] of the [[McFarlane Toys|McFarlane]] line of figures. | '''Weapon skins''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' allow players to customize the appearance of their [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]]'s [[loadout]] weapons.

A number of skins were obtained by buying ''Halo'' action figures produced by [[McFarlane Toys]]. These were unlocked by purchasing specially marked figures from [[McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|Series 2]] of the toy line launched in [[2013]]. For example, purchasing the [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite Ranger]] figure will unlock the "Chill" skin for the [[Kelos'vaarda-pattern storm rifle|storm rifle]].

Later, in Season 7: Elite, several more ''MCC''-exclusive skins were added, including another "Blood" skin - this time for the Magnum - and a number of new sets of weapon skins, such as "Pixel", "Maw" and "Edgework", each of which could be applied to various human loadout weapons. Some of these are unlocked through the Season Pass, while others are available via seasonal [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|challenges]]. | Later, in Season 7: Elite, several more ''MCC''-exclusive skins were added, including another "Blood" skin - this time for the Magnum - and a number of new sets of weapon skins, such as "Pixel", "Maw" and "Edgework", each of which could be applied to various human loadout weapons.

With the addition of the previously-missing figure skins to ''MCC'' in Season 7: Elite, the Storm Rifle's Chill skin is missing certain textures in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. On the Xbox 360 edition of ''Halo 4'', the weapon's barrel, rotating coil, and small sections of the topside of the weapon are colored mint green. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', these mint green regions are missing, and are erroneously colored with the weapon's base gray-silver. | With the addition of the previously-missing figure skins to ''MCC'' in Season 7: Elite, the Storm Rifle's Chill skin is missing certain textures in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''.
