Trivia
- Champions Bundle DLC items, including the new armor sets, weapon skins, and the Resistor tactical package, do not appear in Spartan Ops. Instead, weapons revert to their default appearance and armor pieces are replaced by Recruit armor. Equipping Resistor causes the tactical package to automatically revert back to "None".
- Of all the content in the Champions Bundle, only the maps Pitfall and Vertigo appear in the version of Halo 4 included in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The armor permutations, weapon skins, and Resistor tactical package do not appear in the collection.
