The seasonal unlocks for Season 3: Recon take the form of the skins for weapons and visors in the multiplayer of Halo 3, Firefight character unlocks for ODST and ODST-themed nameplates for use in the menus. For The Master Chief Collection, the unlocks have been divided into 5 tiers of ten unlocks each. To progress a tier, all ten unlocks within must be unlocked. The season features over 80 unlockables, a departure from the 100 tiers seen in Seasons 1 and 2 due to the much shorter development time between releases.[1] Including Challenge unlocks, Season 3 introduces to The Master Chief Collection;[2]

Each unlock slot can be unlocked for Spartan Point 1 - or Spartan Point 2 for Firefight characters - rewarded through the collection's updated rank scheme or the Challenges implemented in the prior Spark update. In total, Spartan Point 61 are needed to unlock all content in Season 3.
