Borderlands 4 has finally arrived, and those who pre-ordered the game can claim 5 Legendary weapons, 1 skin usable by all Vault Hunters, 1 Head usable by all Vault Hunters, a weapon skin, and an ECHO-4 Drone skin. These bonuses come from the Gilded Glory Pack, available as a separate purchase or to those who pre-ordered Borderlands 4 before September 12. However, those logging in for the first time might want to know when, how, and where they can nab these exclusive bonus items.

How to Claim Pre-Order Items in Borderlands 4

After starting a New Game and selecting your Vault Hunter, access your Inventory menu, where to the right (where ECHO-4 is), you will see a Reward Pop-Up. Players can select this Reward to see the Gilded Glory Pack, which can be claimed to accept the Legendary weapons obtained via pre-ordering Borderlands 4. To obtain your free cosmetics, simply head into the Customization menu in the inventory tab, and you will be able to go through your selection of bonuses for the Vault Hunter Head, Skin, ECHO-4 Skin, and Weapon Skin. It's worth noting that of the weapons players get, the SMG can be used at Level 1, whereas the Grenade and Rocket Launcher can be used at Level 30, and the Assault Rifle is locked for Level 50.
