At the launch of Borderlands 4, there are two legendary weapons available through Twitch Drops. We will show you how to get them.
What kind of weapons are they? Both are legendary weapons.
- The first is called “Midnight Defiance”. This is a sniper rifle.
- You can obtain this weapon through Twitch Drops from certain partner streams for Borderlands 4. A list of partners of Borderlands 4 on Twitch who distribute Drops can be found here (via borderlands.com).
- The second weapon is “Forsaken Chaos”. This is a legendary shotgun.
- You can obtain this weapon through Twitch Drops from official streams for Borderlands 4 on the Borderlands Twitch channel or the Gearbox Twitch channel.
Both weapons will be available as Twitch Drops between September 11 and September 30.
How powerful are the weapons? Both weapons will be at the level of your Vault Hunters when you pick them up – they will be scaled to your level. However, they will be at least level 5.
What do I need to do to receive them? The two weapons are distributed via Twitch Drops. You need to watch two hours for each weapon on certain Borderlands streams to unlock the reward. Important: The rewards are not distributed together but sequentially. So you need to watch for a total of four hours for both.
It is also important that you connect your Shift account with your Twitch account; otherwise, it won’t work. We summarize the entire process for you here.
