Skins are a component of player customisation present in the multiplayer portion of Halo 2: Anniversary. They were implemented for use within Halo: The Master Chief Collection during the Series 9 update, and work in a similar fashion to the skin systems of Combat Evolved and Halo 3.

Trivia

• 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.
