'''Series 4: Reclaimer''' is the fourth [[season|series]] released for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and began alongside the launch of ''Halo 4'' on PC platforms on November 16, 2020.{{Ref/Note|This article uses the [[Wikipedia:Pacific Time Zone|Pacific Time Zone]] to determine the release date.}} It featured new customization items for ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]''.{{Ref/Site|Id=September|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-september-2020|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=News, MCC Development Update - September 2020}}{{Ref/Site|Id=NeoGAF|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.neogaf.com/threads/halo-ot-halogaf-evolved.459213/page-166#post-35044917|Site=NeoGAF|Page=Halo {{!}}OT{{!}} HaloGAF Evolved}} The season's logo is a stylised representation of the [[Ur-Didact]]'s [[Cryptum]].

''Halo 3''{{'}}s items took cues from the customization added to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' in [[Series 2: Spark]].{{Ref/Site|Id=August|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-august-2020|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=News, MCC Development Update - August 2020}} 

Originally, the season was to feature customization items for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', such as new helmets and armor pieces, and a wider array of armor sets with the prosthetic arm, but difficulties during development forced the Legacy team to push this content back to a later season.{{Ref/Site|Id=October|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-october-2020|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=MCC Development Update - October 2020}} Nevertheless, armor effects for [[Sangheili|Elite]] player models in ''Reach'' were still implemented alongside Season 4, as intended.

The content of Series 4: Reclaimer involves that of the long-absent Champions Bundle [[Weapon skins (Halo 4)|weapon skins for ''Halo 4'']], along with additional [[Skins (Halo 3)|skins for ''Halo 3'']], including newly implemented vehicle skins, with weapon skins now encompassing new weapons. New [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplates]] have also been added, being mostly ''Halo 4'' themed in nature. The unlocks have been divided into 5 tiers of ten unlocks each. To progress a tier, all ten unlocks within must be unlocked, following in the footsteps of Season 3: Recon. Including Challenge unlocks, Season 4 introduces the following content to ''The Master Chief Collection'';

All new ''Halo 4'' skins are those which were previously useable in the game's original Xbox 360 release by way of the [[Champions Bundle]], with two additional skins cut from the original launch of ''Halo 4'' obtainable via series Challenges. All skins previously in ''The Master Chief Collection'' remain unlocked by default. The new system of unlocks has also expanded the way ''Halo 4'' weapon skins work. As well as being customisable on a per-loadout basis like in the original game, skins can also now applied universally, which will affect gametypes without custom loadouts, in addition to custom loadouts that do not explicitly override the universal setting. Unlike ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3'' skins, ''Halo 4''{{'}}s skins still operate the way they did in the original game; only weapons that you spawn with will have your skin applied, and picking up a weapon will not change the skin it uses.

The ''Halo 3'' Sniper Rifle Avalanche skin was unlockable by hitting [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|Competitive Rank]] [[File:MCC - Rank 20.png|25px]] in the timed Recon Slayer playlist. This challenge was started prior to the update's launch with progress carrying over to the final release. The challenge was timed, and ended on November 25, 2020.

Unlike Season 3, each unlock slot can be unlocked for {{SeasonPoint|1}} - rewarded through [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|the collection's updated rank scheme]] or the [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|Challenges]] implemented in the prior Spark update. In total, {{SeasonPoint|50}} are needed to unlock all content in Season 4.

===Challenge and event unlocks===
A number of items were made exclusive to specialised [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|challenge]] unlocks. These include two [[Weapon skins (Halo 4)|weapon skins]] for the battle rifle and DMR in ''Halo 4'' originally cut from the Xbox 360 release and one [[Skins (Halo 3)|skin]] for the sniper rifle in ''Halo 3''. The sniper rifle challenge skin was active during the final few weeks of Series 3, with the reward given upon Series 4's release or upon the successful completion of the Challenge. During the [[Series 6: Raven#Flights|flighting]] for Series 6, the Avalanche skin was one of the items made available in the widespread test of [[the Exchange]], though community pushback meant the item did not appear in the final series, with 343 intending to leave more time before pushing ranked play skins into the Exchange.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/243780d3b80b4bb6ac7917a8942286db/topics/mcc-development-flighting-updates/3e3252e1-297a-4590-a7ab-67c133b3d37d/posts?page=4#post74|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Forums, MCC Development & Flighting Updates|D=10|M=04|Y=2021}}

A number of [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplates]] were made available for all players as of the start of Series 4, with a few others unlocked as event rewards. Notably, the Infinite nameplate corresponds to ''[[Halo Infinite]]''{{'}}s original release date of November 2020, the Anniversary nameplate to the 19th anniversary of the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the Veteran nameplate to [[Wikipedia:Veterans Day|Veterans Day]] on 11/11, and the Movember and Native American Heritage Month nameplates both corresponding to the month of November in general. The Turkey Shoot nameplate was unlocked for all players as of Thanksgiving Day 2020, and the 343 Day nameplate for players who played on December 8 and December 9, 2020 - the 343rd day of 2020. However due to a bug, this nameplate was awarded to all players who played ''MCC'' before January 4, 2021. The Shadow nameplate was unlocked for all players as of December 16 after previously being cut from the original series unlock table.
