===Spartan points===
[[File:HTMCC Icon SP.png|thumb|The season point currency icon.]]
Spartan Points (known as "Season Points" prior to the August 2022 update){{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-mcc-august-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo: MCC - August Update|D=9|M=12|Y=2022}} are a new in-game currency introduced with the Season system. They can be used within the various unlock tiers of each season to unlock [[armor permutations]], [[skins]], [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplates]], [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] voices, and more. Initially, Spartan Points could only be earned by progressing in the game's [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|rank scheme]] through regular multiplayer—with one Season Point rewarded to players for progressing to each rank.{{Ref/Site|Id=december2022|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-infinite-december-2022-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> December 2022 Update|D=8|M=12|Y=2022}} However, the addition of [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|Challenges]] has resulted in a wider array of season point earning potential across multiplayer, campaign, Firefight, [[Forge]] and custom games. Spartan Points are a purely in-game currency, and cannot be bought through real-world purchases. Spartan Points are not reset between seasons, so any points earned will carry over into subsequent seasons. Spartan Points are also used for purchasing items from [[The Exchange]].
