Trivia[edit]

  • Internal filenames for the Bloodscorched skins refer to the skin names as Tie Dye, indicating the skins were renamed at some point in development.
  • The internal unlock files for Halo: The Master Chief Collection indicate that the initial round of skins included with Series 9 were originally intended for release in the now-cancelled Season 10.[3]
