343 Industries provided the option to change the gender of your Spartan in the Halo Master Chief Collection, which is great for those that want it. As long as you aren’t wearing legendary armor, you can switch between a Male or Female Spartan at any time.
This guide is suitable for the Halo Master Chief Collection, which includes Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4. For more Halo MCC Guides, make sure to check out our dedicated area here!
How to Change Gender in Halo MCC
To change your gender, you’ll first need to head to the main menu in Halo. From there, choose the ‘Career & Options’ button on the left hand side of the screen. You’ll be taken to a screen similar to below.

Next, choose the ‘Customization’ tab. In here, you can change your armor, colors, body type and gender. To change your gender specifically, open the ‘Body Type’ section.

Choose ‘Spartan Gender’, then choose between Spartan Male or Spartan Female. On the right hand side, you can see a preview of what your character will look like. If you are wearing Elite Armor, these options won’t make any difference to the appearance of your character.
