The iconic hero of Halo is back in Fortnite, and this time he’s not alone. Master Chief has returned to the Item Shop, allowing players to add one of the most iconic looks to have passed through the game to their collection. For many, it’s the perfect opportunity to add the Xbox legend to their digital inventory.

This return is a special nod to the Halo and Xbox communities, as Fortnite and Epic Games keep a crossover alive that originally debuted in December 2020. Master Chief’s presence on the island is not only a tribute, but also a chance to see the Spartan in a very different environment from the usual one.

How to get Master Chief in Fortnite

To get Master Chief, simply access the Fortnite Item Shop from any platform (Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or mobile) and search for his bundle or individual appearance. The available content includes:

• Master Chief appearance

• Backpack accessory inspired by the Halo saga

• Pickaxe and themed wrap

• Possible complete bundle with a discount compared to individual purchase

Prices may vary depending on whether you buy the appearance alone or the complete pack, and the purchase is made using V-Bucks, Fortnite’s virtual currency. Once purchased, the content will be permanently linked to your account.

If you want to add one of the most recognized characters in the Xbox universe to your Fortnite arsenal, don’t miss the opportunity. Availability in the Item Shop is limited, so it’s best to acquire it before it disappears again for an indefinite period.
