All Borderlands 4 Twitch drops and how to get them | Esports News
Borderlands 4 is going to release soon, and as the date is nearing, Gearbox is giving away free rewards through Twitch Drops, which means players can claim these even before the game releases. Through these drops, players can earn cosmetic items just by watching official streams on Twitch. For now the first reward is a special purple skin for your ECHO-4 drone companion. Claiming these items is very simple and free of cost; players just have to watch the official Twitch stream at the required time. This article outlines how players can obtain free purple skin as a Borderlands 4 Twitch Drop reward.
What is the first Borderlands 4 Twitch Drop?
The first Twitch Drop for Borderlands 4 is a purple ECHO-4 Drone Skin. This reward changes the look of your drone companion from its normal grey color to a bright purple design.
About the ECHO-4 Drone:
- Acts as your personal companion that follows you everywhere
- Handles all appearance customization for your character
- Works like a portable styling station—no need to find special terminals
- Default appearance: Grey finish with blue LED lights
- Twitch Drop version: Purple paint with Borderlands-style design
The ECHO-4 drone is a new feature in Borderlands 4 that lets you change your character’s appearance anywhere in the game world. Instead of the standard grey and blue version, this Twitch Drop gives you a special purple variant that stands out and shows you earned an exclusive reward.
