All Skulls in Halo: CE Master Chief Collection and how to get them

Master Chief never had it easy.
This article is over 4 years old and may contain outdated information

Skulls in Halo: CE act like modifiers that impact your game. You can choose to turn them on for a greater challenge or to make things a little easier. They can impact the game in various ways to make it more fun to play. Previously, skulls needed to be collected from specific locations in the game, but now you can activate them all from the main menu in the Master Chief Collection.
