Borderlands 4 fans can add a new free reward to their collection. Gearbox has just activated a SHiFT code to unlock an exclusive skin for Vex, the famous Vault Hunter. This surprise gift comes after the success of the latest community challenge, which saw the community shatter the goals set during the “Death 4 All” event.
As is often the case with the Borderlands license, this new skin is linked to an original animation. Entitled “Mass Market Appeal”, it takes the style of Vex in the video Purple Fridaywhile retaining her iconic Huntress outfit. The skin stands out with a yellow and purple color palette, inspired by its origins, with a unique rendering on the battlefield.
An exploded community challenge, an immediate reward
The challenge launched by Gearbox last weekend was to collectively destroy 1.8 million drilling sites on the planet Kairos, playing exclusively as Vex. The community didn’t just meet the goal: they exceeded it with an impressive score of 2,333,013 destruction recorded.
To thank players for their commitment, Gearbox has activated a SHiFT code that can be used now, on all platforms. Simply log in to your account and enter this code to unlock the skin immediately in your inventory.
