What’s Going On With the Matte Black Style?
The Matte Black style has always been a highly desired variant in the Fortnite community. It was seen as a rare badge of honor, showing you were both a Halo fan and an Xbox player. Back in 2022, players were actively discussing and planning to get the special style, with many Reddit users expressing their intention to buy the skin specifically for the Matte Black variant when it returned to the shop. So, when Epic shared the news that this style wouldn’t be available anymore, it was a big disappointment for the Fortnite community.
If you are still confused, let us explain it to you. So here’s the deal, if you’re buying Master Chief now, unfortunately, the Matte Black style is no longer included. Epic has confirmed this with their latest tweet. If you have already purchased the skin expecting to get the style, don’t worry, you can request a refund without using a Return Ticket by reaching out to Epic’s Player Support.
Is the Master Chief Skin Bundle Worth Buying?
Master Chief is one of Fortnite’s Gaming Legends Series skins, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. The armor detail is amazing, and the Battle Legend Back Bling that comes with it matches perfectly. If you’re into Halo or just love collecting gaming crossover skins, this one’s a solid pick.
The bundle costs 2,600 V-Bucks, which feels reasonable for everything you get. Plus, legendary skins like this don’t show up often, it was gone for almost three years before returning. If you’re thinking about grabbing it, don’t wait too long! Even without the Matte Black style, the default Master Chief skin still looks awesome and is worth adding to your collection.
