Can you unlock the Matte Black Master Chief style?
No, the Matte Black Master Chief style is no longer unlockable. According to Epic Games, this style is limited to those who purchased the outfit and played on Xbox Series X|S before December 2024. So, if you’ve only bought the Master Chief skin today, you won’t be able to get the Matte Black style even if you have an Xbox.
If you’ve already bought Master Chief cosmetics today, however, Epic stated that they can be returned without having to spend a Return Ticket by reaching out to Player Support.
For the uninitiated, Master Chief has one additional style, Matte Black, which has him rocking a darker color palette. Players were able to obtain this outfit by playing one match on Xbox using the original Master Chief skin when it was first introduced. Though that’s no longer the case as of now.
That’s everything you need to know to get the Master Chief skin in the game, along with the Matte Black style. While you’re here, check out how to get Santa Shaq, Skibidi Toilet, and Cyberpunk 2077 skins while they’re still around.
