Borderlands 4 Shift Code Unlocks Free Skin

Borderlands 4 players have a new ECHO-4 Drone skin to claim right now by redeeming a SHiFT code on the SHiFT website. The latest giveaway is part of Borderlands 4‘s “12 Days of Mercenary Day” promotion, where Gearbox is handing out free goodies to players over the holiday season.

SHiFT codes are Gearbox’s way of delivering free in-game content to players. They are usually used to give out Golden Keys in Borderlands 4, which can then be redeemed in-game for loot at the Golden Chests. However, the developer has also been using them to hand out limited-time cosmetics, which are only available to players who redeem SHiFT codes before they expire. Cosmetic giveaways are rarer to come by, which is why it’s always worth grabbing them whenever they’re available.

The Borderlands series feels like it has been stuck in a rut in recent years, and it only shows that the franchise’s best entry not the standard.

New Borderlands 4 ECHO-4 Drone Skin SHiFT Code (Expires December 31, 2030)

• J9XTB-SJWS3-WRTTC-BJTJJ-TH6TX

The latest Borderlands 4 SHiFT code was sent out by the Borderlands X account, officially marking the start of the “12 Days of Mercenary Day” holiday promotion. It kicked things off with the following SHiFT code: J9XTB-SJWS3-WRTTC-BJTJJ-TH6TX. The reward is the “A Winter Borderland” ECHO-4 Drone skin, which gives the robot an all-white appearance. Players can redeem the code with a linked SHiFT account on the SHiFT website, or in-game via the SHiFT menu. According to Gearbox, the code will remain active until December 31, 2030, so gamers don’t exactly have to be in any great rush to get this free Borderlands 4 skin. Still, it’s worth redeeming while it’s fresh in the memory.

How to Redeem Borderlands 4 SHiFT Codes

1. Head over to the SHiFT website and log in to your SHiFT account. If you don’t have an existing one, create one.
2. Go to the “Gaming Platforms” tab and ensure that your SHiFT account is linked to your gaming account.
3. Open the “Rewards” tab.
4. Enter the new SHiFT code underneath the “Code Redemption” header. When prompted, select the platform that you want to redeem the code on. This will depend on the gaming accounts you have linked to your SHiFT account.

Since the release of Borderlands 4, Gearbox has frequently handed out SHiFT codes for players to redeem for free items. Most of the codes so far have given Golden Keys, but it seems that holiday events are where cosmetics tend to return. After all, there was a Borderlands 4 Halloween event, with SHiFT codes unlocking unique spooky cosmetics. And as this is just the first day of the Mercenary Day promotion, players might see even more Christmas-related cosmetics over the next 11 days.

It’s going to be a very busy 2026 for the developer, with big plans including the release of the first Story Pack and a new Vault Hunter in the first few months of the year. In the meantime, Gearbox has launched the Season’s Lootings holiday event in Borderlands 4. From now until January 8, 2026, players can enjoy up to 5x drop rates of Legendary loot. If there’s any time to hop in and grind out those Legendaries, it’s right now.
