Trivia

 * 343 Industries confirmed that players will unlock exclusive weapon skins for one weapon each by obtaining Specializations, or by purchasing select action figures from McFarlane Toys.
 * Halo 4 is the first Halo game to introduce this feature.
 * From September 24 to November 4, 2012, 343 Industries and GameStop offered the Arctic Battle Rifle skin, with the most votes, to customers who pre-ordered Halo 4 at GameStop. On October 8, 2012, the Arctic Battle Rifle skin was chosen as the winner of the first round, and became one of the three exclusive pre-order bonus items from GameStop.
 * The name of the DMR skin "Noble" is a reference to Noble Team, who made their first appearance in Halo: Reach, along with the DMR.
 * When Halo 4 released, the Storm Rifle was the only weapon not to have a skin, but as of right now a new skin "CHILL" is included with one of the new McFarlane Series 2 action figures.
