Spartan Points

Spartan Points (SP) are an in-game currency used for purchasing items in Halo 4 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. In both games, Spartan Points are a purely in-game currency, and cannot be bought through real-world purchases.

Halo 4
In Halo 4, Spartan Points are rewarded through progressing the game's rank scheme, with each level rewarding one SP. Players may use Spartan Points to purchase Loadout items, including primary weapons, secondary weapons, grenades, support upgrades, and tactical packages. However, each item has an associated pre-requisite rank requirement before they can be purchased. Skins for Loadout weapons are unlockable through other means, such as the Specializations system and purchasing downloadable content. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, all Loadouts items are unlocked by default.

The pre-requisite rank and cost of each item are listed here.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection
In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Spartan Points (known as "Season Points" prior to the August 2022 update) are the in-game currency introduced with the Season system in December 2019. They can be used within the various unlock tiers of each series to unlock armor permutations, skins, nameplates, Firefight voices, and more. Initially, Spartan Points could only be earned by progressing in the game's rank scheme through regular multiplayer—with one Spartan Point rewarded to players for progressing to each rank. However, the addition of Challenges has resulted in a wider array of Spartan Point earning potential across multiplayer, campaign, Firefight, Forge and custom games. Furthermore, Spartan Points did not reset between the release of each season, so any points earned carriws over into subsequent seasons. Spartan Points are also used for purchasing items from The Exchange.
