'''Skins''' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' allow players to customize their [[SPARTAN programs|Spartan]] player model and the appearance of weapons and vehicles in-game. At the launch of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the armor of ''Combat Evolved'' was displayed as a static image in the game's menu. Following in the footsteps of the launch of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' for PC, ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' had its menu elements updated to fully render Spartan customization options in 3D in ''Unreal Engine 4''. The launch of [[Season 2: Spark]] saw the addition of visor, weapon and vehicle skins for ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', with [[Series 7: Elite]] adding additional vehicle skins.

==Overview==
==Overview==
The armor customization of the original 2001 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' release originally only allowed for the player to change their Spartan's color via a player profile. ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' would turn the color option into one that could be used regardless of a profile. During June 2020, in an update for the game dedicated to the impending PC release of ''[[Halo 3]]'' on ''The Master Chief Collection'', [[343 Industries]] revealed their intention to add the ability to change visor colors to ''Combat Evolved'', in an effort to grant players the ability to show off unique options in each game. These new visor options were stated to be added to Season 2 of ''The Master Chief Collection's'' [[season]] unlock system.
In its initial release, ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' did not include skins. These were retroactively added into its ''MCC'' port alongside a larger update that increased the number of customisation options for ''CE'', which released with [[Series 2: Spark]]. This update also included [[Armor customization (Halo: Combat Evolved)#Visor|visor colour customisation]] too. All of these new skins and visors were made permanently available via the then-newly added [[season]]al unlock system, which resembles a [[Wikipedia:Battle pass|battle pass]].


While visor colors can be changed, the change has been stated to not alter the player's [[Heads-up display]] color, and can also be toggled off via an option in the game's menu, for those wishing to keep the game as it was. The skins for weapons and vehicles apply to any weapon the player picks up - they retain their skin when dropped, but will switch to a new skin should another player take control of them.

===Unused skins===
Within the game files for ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''s menus exist a number of placeholder icons for unused skins on a number of weapons. These textures are all placeholder pink squares, and thus have no discernable appearance. Their filenames are listed below (Note: the ''T_'' prefix is an Unreal Engine 4 naming convention denoting a texture file);
