A number of weapon skins are unlocked through the game's [[Specializations]] system. Each specialization has exactly one weapon skin tied to it, and it is earned when you reach [[Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank 5]] within that specialization. For instance, reaching [[Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank 5]] within the Wetwork Specialization, the "Noble" DMR skin is unlocked. | A number of weapon skins are unlocked through the game's [[Specializations]] system.

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]]. These skins were also initially not available in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' but were included in a post-launch update and can be unlocked in [[Series 7: Elite]]. | A number of skins were obtained by buying ''Halo'' action figures produced by [[McFarlane Toys]].

During the “What’s Next: Halo 4 Summer 2013″ panel at RTX 2013, 343 Industries' promotional art for the bundle featured the "Bones" and "Striped" [[M395 DMR]] weapon skins as part of the content update's bonus content. The "Bones" skin would later be relegated to a code found with the CIO Spartan in [[McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|Series 2 of McFarlane's ''Halo 4'' line of figures]], while the "Striped" skin could be unlocked through earning certain achievements in ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''. | During the “What’s Next: Halo 4 Summer 2013″ panel at RTX 2013, 343 Industries' promotional art for the bundle featured the "Bones" and "Striped" [[M395 DMR]] weapon skins as part of the content update's bonus content.

By accessing ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection's'' internal files, two additional cut weapon skin icons can be found on the game's PC port. The first is Battle Rifle BLD{{Ref/File|HTMCC|Halo The Master Chief Collection\Data\ui\texturepacks\mainmenutexturepack|LARGE_UNSC_BATTLERIFLE_BLD_SKIN}}, likely tying into both the DMR BLD and Magnum BLD skins. The second is DMR KSS.{{Ref/File|HTMCC|Halo The Master Chief Collection\Data\ui\texturepacks\mainmenutexturepack|LARGE_UNSC_DMR_KSS_SKIN}} Neither cut weapon skin possesses a complete icon, with a pink placeholder icon in their place. | |||

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''.
