Skins are an element of player customization found in Halo 3 for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Skins allow players to customize their the appearance of weapons and vehicles in-game. Skins are an element of customization separate to armor permutations, which allow the player to customize their armor components. The launch of Series 3: Recon in 2020 saw the introduction of weapon skins and visor colors for Halo 3, with more weapon skins and newly introduced vehicle skins being included with Series 4: Reclaimer in November 2020.[1] Another batch of skins was included in Series 5: Anvil. Series 6: Raven saw the addition of animated visors and more weapon and vehicle skins. Series 7: Elite included skins for the Energy Sword. Series 8: Mythic added more weapon and vehicle skins, and more animated visors.

Trivia
- The "Scorpio" skin for the SMG, along with its black and green color palette, is a reference to the Xbox One X and its production codename "Project Scorpio".
- The "Keeper" skin for the Plasma Rifle is a reference to the Keepers of the One Freedom and their official colors of blue and gold.
- The colors and name of the "Dear John" skin for the Flamethrower are a reference to the John Deere manufacturing company. The skin's description is a play on Halo: Glasslands, with "Grasslands" likely referencing the lawn mowers for which John Deere is most famous for. The skin is also available for the flamethrower in the Halo: Combat Evolved portion of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
- The name of the "Hot Pepper" skin for the Flamethrower is likely a reference to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is further evidenced by the skin's description which mentions "scar tissue," the name of one of the band's most popular songs.
- The description of the "Splendor" Carbine skin mentions the Writ of Union, the founding charter of, and an oath of service to, the Covenant.
- The description of the "Amethyst Raven" Mongoose skin is a reference to the "Red Ones Go Faster" trope which, in fiction, states that anything painted red (mainly vehicles) goes faster.
- The "Grim Reaper" Scorpion skin features the text "ONE-38" and a skeletal face motif in reference to horror-punk band Misfits, notable for their "Fiend Skull" mascot and song titled "We Are 138".
- The “Scarlet Thorn” Battle Rifle skin appears to be directly based off of the “Pioneer” Battle Rifle variant from Halo Online.
- The name and designs of the skins: "Vexing Tomorrow" & "Scorned Fate" are most likely references to the enemy races, Vex & Scorn repectively, from the game series Destiny. Which Bungie made after leaving the Halo franchise.
