Cut Halo 4 customization: Difference between revisions

The Hayabusa armor, originally debuted as a crossover [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', was concepted and modelled for inclusion in ''Halo 4'' though ultimately never realized. This may be due to rights issues, as the original Hayabusa design was created as a crossover with ''Dead or Alive 4''{{'}}s [[Nicole-458]] character.

The base Locus helmet was originally accompanied by a variant with an alternate skin. Instead of an X-shaped pattern adorning the helmet's skull-like face, a basic stripe ran down this variant's face. This skin wasn't just exclusive to renders done by Liquid Development, and could be seen in officially released screenshots, although it remains unobtainable in both ''Halo 4'', and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.

In addition to cut armour options, ''Halo 4'' had a large number of [[Weapon skins (Halo 4)|weapon skins]] that went unused in the original launch. Two such skins; Concrete (DMR) and Blast (BR), were present in the files of the original ''Halo 4'' Xbox 360 release, introduced in the [[Halo_4_Title_Updates#Title_Update_8/19/2013|8/19/2013 Title Update]] though unusable in-game outside of [[Halo 4 weapon skin glitch|a glitch]] in custom games, and modding. These two skins were introduced into the ''Halo 4'' component of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' with the game's release on PC platforms in [[Season 4: Reclaimer]] and [[Season 7: Elite]] for Blast and Concrete, respectively.
