Here's how you can get the collection, as well as unlock the additional style.

Fortnite MC Matte Black Style: How to unlock

The Fortnite Master Chief Matte Black Style is dubbed as "a memento of his Xbox history". It looks fantastic but it can potentially cost you a lot more than a couple of thousand V-Bucks to unlock if you are still on an Xbox One console.

Simply put, you need to first purchase the Master Chief bundle in Fortnite, then play a match with the skin on either an Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

This means the Fortnite Master Chief Matte Black Style requires you to have a next-gen Xbox console to unlock.

Those who only game on PC, PlayStation, Switch or mobile will not be able to unlock the Matte Black style.
