Borderlands 4: Legendary Free Content to Recover, Here’s How

Borderlands 4 Launch Offers Free Content for Chaotic Combat Enthusiasts

After years of anticipation, Borderlands 4 has finally arrived. While offering top-notch quality, some players note it slightly misses the signature wild and chaotic vibe the series is known for. Gameplay-wise, it delivers more of the same for long-time franchise fans, introducing even more movement possibilities and a vast array of weapons to collect. At launch, Borderlands 4 attracted over 200,000 unique players, and for those already playing or planning to join, free content is available on release day.

Borderlands 4 Twitch Drops: Grab Echo4 Skin, Chaos Forgotten Shotgun & Nightfall Rifle

Players can obtain these new items via Twitch drops. The Echo4’s Watch, Drop, and Roll skin is also still available. Additionally, two legendary weapons join the offerings: a powerful pump-action shotgun, particularly effective against the Guardian of Time, and a highly accurate precision rifle. Even players who haven’t yet purchased Borderlands 4 can still collect these items in anticipation of playing the game. Here’s how to obtain your Borderlands 4 rewards: Echo4 Skin: Watch a minimum of 20 minutes on Gearbox’s Twitch channel. Available until September 29, 2025.
