Weapon skin

Weapon skins allow players to customize their loadout weapons, giving them new appearances and (in Halo 5: Guardians) added functionalities such as an energy bayonet. They first made their appearance in 2012's Halo 4, and later returned in Halo 5: Guardians three years after. Any weapon skins added to Halo 4 in Title Update v1.05 cannot be used in Spartan Ops.Halo Waypoint Forums - New Tactical Packages Glitched in SpOps?
