Weapon	Chapter number and name	How/where to collect the skin?
Accelerator	Chapter 4- Sentinel Barracks	Look for a statue and search past the same. Look between 2 spires of the building.
Chainshot	Chapter 12- Sentinel Command Station	Drop into the command room and find a secret item behind the locked gate and the breakable wall (near the hologram at the room’s center). It will lead you to the collectible.
Combat Shotgun	Chapter 1- Village of Khalim	Lies beyond cliffside. Just after you clear the hell portals.
Cycler	Chapter 10- The Foresaken Plans	Take the right passage from Atlan. Find Hell Cannon and scale the cliff. It will lead to Wraithstone. Just before dropping, find the skin.
Grenade Launcher	Chapter 14- Spire of Nerathul	Get it through the blue portal. Defeat the demons and go to the upper area. Find the skin beside the Wraithstone.
Impaler	Chapter 6- Siege – Part 1	Nearby Ruby 3, find the weapon’s skin. Jump down the platform and follow the gold trail to the locked gate (needs Purple Key).
Pulverizer	Chapter 5- Holy City of Aratum	Found in the Gold Trail 3 area. Proceed to obtain it during the second objective.
Ravager	Chapter 20- Resurrection	It’s in the secret cave behind the 2nd artillery cannon.
Rocket Launcher	Chapter 17- Temple of Lomarith	From the temple’s base, move to the far side and find the portal. Enter, and before the Secret Area, look at the crevice’s side to find the skin.
Shredder	Chapter 2- Hebeth	Hides in the upper hatch. Needs shield recall jumps and to climb the marked walls.
Super Shotgun	Chapter 9- Ancestral Forge	In the wide area with the blue light pods, look to find the chain with the machinery piece. Throw the shield at the device to activate the elevator. On reaching atop, look left, find the ledge to jump, and perform the Shield Recall Jump to the right, on the green statue.

Remember, each of the skins demands adaptability of the players while blending the platforms, relentless combat, and puzzle-solving. Beyond the bragging rights, they show mastery over the worst battlefields of hell.

As the skins are tied to 100% completion, it’s better not to skip them. So, gear up and get all the skins.
