When a Gaming Legends skin graces Fortnite, it's anyone's guess when it will return to the Item Shop. Some, like Kratos, have been absent for years, but for others like Master Chief? The wait is over. Master Chief, the iconic hero of the Halo franchise, had been on ice for nearly 1,000 days since his last appearance on June 3, 2022, until a festive surprise on December 23, 2024.
Now, players can don their Spartan armor and leap from the Battle Bus as Petty Officer John-117 to secure a Victory Royale with Xbox's most famous mascot. But what exactly does the Master Chief Bundle in Fortnite offer, and how many V-Bucks will it set you back?

How to Get the Matte Black Master Chief in Fortnite
Epic Games has confirmed via their Fortnite Status account on X (formerly Twitter) that the Matte Black style for the Master Chief outfit is still obtainable. To unlock this sleek variant, simply purchase the Master Chief outfit and then play a single match of Fortnite Battle Royale on an Xbox Series X|S. This action will grant you the unlockable Matte Black style.
Previously, it was announced that the Matte Black style would not be available for players purchasing the skin after December 2024, but that decision has been reversed, so fans can now secure this stylish addition.
