The Borderlands series has sold over 100 million copies, Gearbox and 2K confirmed on 6 November. To mark Borderlands 100 million, Borderlands 4 players get a Boss Blitz community challenge with four free weapon skins, a Twitch Drop, and doubled donations for The Hunt, the community's scavenger hunt for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Everything runs from 6 November to 15.

Borderlands 100 million celebration at a glance

How does the Borderlands 4 Boss Blitz challenge work?

If the community gets 500,000 boss kills with the base game Vault Hunters (Vex, Amon, Rafa or Harlowe) between 6 and 15 November 2026, Gearbox will share a SHiFT code for four weapon skins usable by every Vault Hunter:

• Troubled Upbringing, inspired by Vex
• Fresh Spray, inspired by Rafa
• Tally Them All, inspired by Amon
• Merch Line, inspired by Harlowe

You need Borderlands 4, a SHiFT account and an internet connection. Codes can be redeemed until 31 December 2030, once per SHiFT account. Codes from previous challenges, including the C4SH and Loveless skins, still work too.

How do you get the Borderlands 4 Twitch Drop?

Link your SHiFT and Twitch accounts, then watch Drops-enabled Borderlands 4 streams for 30 minutes or more between 6 and 15 November to unlock "The Horns" Vault Hunter Head. Claim it on Twitch within 24 hours.

What is The Hunt?

A community scavenger hunt run by the Borderlands Community Fundraising Team. Players start new characters and race to farm lists of Legendaries in Borderlands 2, 3 and 4, and the fastest are crowned champions. It has raised more than $750,000 for St. Jude since it began, including $118,000 in May. This time 2K Foundations and Gearbox will match every dollar donated up to last year's record, which could mean more than $230,000. Registration is open on the event's website, and you can also donate through streamers' St. Jude PLAY LIVE campaigns.

How much is Borderlands 4?

Borderlands 4 is £59.99 / $69.99 / €69.99 on Steam, and was 50% off at £29.99 / $34.99 / €34.99 when we checked on 7 November.
