Borderlands 4 is almost here, launching September 12, 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. To celebrate the release, Gearbox is gifting an exclusive Hazard Pay weapon skin for free!
This bright red cosmetic, marked with yellow and black hazard stripes, perfectly embodies the explosive style of the Borderlands universe. And the best part is that you can claim it right now through Gearbox’s SHiFT system.

How to Claim the Hazard Pay Weapon Skin
- Create a SHiFT account (or log in if you already have one).
- Subscribe to the Gearbox newsletter via your SHiFT account.
- Link your SHiFT account to your platform of choice (PC, PlayStation, Xbox).
- Log in to Borderlands 4 at launch on September 12, 2025, and the Hazard Pay skin will automatically appear in your inventory.
