In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', cosmetic items can be purchased with excess {{SeasonPoint|Season Points}} earned in-game. The Exchange is used as a means to reintroduce items previously only unlockable via time-limited challenges, but will also feature entirely new items that did not appear in previous [[season]]s or their [[challenges]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Dev|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}} The Exchange has two categories, limited-time items which are rotated each week, and featured items, which remain available for longer. Each week, the following week's items can be previewed. | |||
The Exchange was first tested during the [[Series 6: Raven#Flights|Flights]] for [[Series 6: Raven]], during which time the Exchange contained similar content to its final release with a notable inclusion; the Avalanche [[Skins (Halo 3)|skin]] originally unlockable in [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] as part of a ranked [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|challenge]]. However, community pushback on this led to the skin being removed for final release, with 343 Industries opting to leave more time and choose a "more appropriate" price point for the ranked reward skins before including them in the Exchange system.{{Ref/Reuse|Dev}} | The Exchange was first tested during the [[Series 6: Raven#Flights|Flights]] for [[Series 6: Raven]], during which time the Exchange contained similar content to its final release with a notable inclusion; the Avalanche [[Skins (Halo 3)|skin]] originally unlockable in [[Series 4: Reclaimer]] as part of a ranked [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|challenge]].
