Fortnite 101 on how to make holidays special is by bringing back a legendary skin everyone loves. The countdown to Christmas has been happier with the return of Fortnite Master Chief Skin this December 23, 2024. So, how can you get it as part of the special holiday offering?
Master Chief’s Return and Gaming Legends Legacy
A near 1,000 days count from June 3, 2022, since Epic Games removed the Halo protagonist, Master Chief, in Fortnite Item Shop. But good things meant to come back, as they returned it on December 23, 2024, for a holiday special. This skin is part of the previous Gaming Legends series that features a roster of gaming icons.
Well, many seem to love Master Chief for bringing into Fortnite the armor design from Halo Infinite. It makes it worth having despite the lack of its LEGO style variant. Surely this Master Chief skin is remarkable for the community even after some rare skin returns and high-profile collections.
Master Chief Bundle Contents and Pricing
Now’s the perfect time to cross out the Master Chief skin on your wishlist. Players have two options to complete their Halo experience in Fortnite. So they can either choose to buy it individually or the entire bundle instead.
Players can get their Fortnite Master Chief skin alone just for 1,500 V-Bucks plus a Battle Legend Back Bling. Meanwhile, the bundle costs 2,600 V-Bucks with three more additional inclusions. So, players will be getting these items in the bundle:
- Master Chief Outfit with Battle Legend Back Bling
- Gravity Hammer Pickaxe (800 V-Bucks if purchased separately)
- UNSC Pelican Glider (1,200 V-Bucks if purchased separately)
- Lil’ Warthog Traversal Emote (500 V-Bucks if purchased separately)
How to Get the Exclusive Matte Black Style
Fortunately, Epic Games was quick to clear up the confusion upon the announcement of its return in Matte Black style. The Fortnite Master Chief skin’s Matte Black style is still available for players to obtain.
This exclusive variant only requires players two things to unlock, which are:
- Purchase the Master Chief outfit from the Item Shop
- Play one match of Fortnite Battle Royale on an Xbox Series X|S.
Once they get through the challenge, then they’re good to get the Matte Black style of the skin. You can take your time with this since it has no time limit to unlock.
At first, Epic Games suggested that the style is only for players that get theirs before December 2024. However, they made a new statement to clarify that the unlock method is still up even for future purchasers.
Limited Time Availability
So how much time do you still have before it leaves the Item Shop once again? There’s not many days left for the Fortnite community since the rotation will end on December 30, 2024, 7 PM ET. Now, those players that want this will have to buy it now while it is still available.
It can take some years before it reappears in the Fortnite Item Shop. This special holiday offering is just one of the rare chances to obtain it.
Conclusion
Better wish for time to slow down since it has been ticking fastly to December 30, 2024, 7PM ET. The Fortnite Master Chief skin is just one of the treats you can spend your money on these holiday deals. So, grab this opportunity if you really need that legendary skin on your locker.
