Borderlands 4 players have the chance to unlock exclusive rewards simply by tuning into Twitch streams during the game’s launch window. The Twitch drops campaign hands out legendary weapons and cosmetic skins, with everything delivered straight to your in-game inventory the next time you log in. It’s an easy way to get your hands on powerful loot and unique customization options without spending a dime.
What makes this even more appealing is that the rewards automatically scale to match your character’s level at the time you claim them. That means the gear stays relevant whether you’re just beginning your adventure on planet Kairos or already deep into the endgame grind. For fans, it’s a perfect blend of community engagement and gameplay value, offering meaningful rewards that enhance progression while celebrating the excitement around the launch.
Here’s everything you need to know about Borderlands 4 Twitch drops.
How to get Borderlands 4 Twitch drops
You can start receiving Borderlands 4 Twitch drops only after you link your SHiFT and Twitch accounts together. This process requires you to follow a series of steps to link your accounts and claim all the available rewards.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Visit the official SHiFT website and log in to your account.
- Once logged in, head over to the Gaming Platforms section and find the Twitch option.
- Click on the Sign In button and log in using your credentials.
- Once the login process is complete, you will be able to see that your Twitch and SHiFT accounts are linked.
After watching one of the participating streams for the required duration, you will be able to claim the rewards directly from your Twitch inventory. The rewards will be waiting for you in the Reward Center under the Equipment section of the Inventory menu within 24 hours of claiming them.
How to find Twitch drops-supported streams
Gearbox has designated specific channels and stream types for respective Twitch drop rewards. Apart from featuring rewards that can be claimed from any Borderlands 4 live stream, there’s a legendary weapon that you can only claim by watching a partnered creator’s stream.
The developers have released an official list of partnered creators to make it easier for everyone to claim these rewards during the launch celebrations. Apart from that, you will be able to claim other rewards by watching any of the active streams on Twitch. You can also use the “DropsEnabled” search tag to ensure you’re not wasting your time on something that won’t count towards drop progression.

This setup ensures that both casual viewers and dedicated fans have meaningful incentives to participate, making the drops feel rewarding no matter how much time you spend watching. Here’s a table featuring all the rewards you can claim from the campaign, along with how long you need to watch a participating stream to be eligible for them:
