Borderlands 4 Butterfinger Skin: How to Get the Echo-4 Drone Skin

What to know

• Butterfinger has partnered with Borderlands 4 for a promotional drop: a Butterfinger-ECHO-4 drone skin which can be obtained in a couple of ways.
• One route is entering a giveaway (on Butterfinger’s site) with a chance to win the skin.
• Another route is buying the Butterfinger x Madrinas Coffee Collector’s Box, which includes a SHiFT code to redeem the drone skin.
• The Collector’s Box also has extra goodies: a shaker cup & sleeve, a coupon for a free Butterfinger bar, and themed packaging.

The Butterfinger collaboration with Borderlands 4 is more than a candy tie-in; it’s a chance to add a unique cosmetic to your ECHO drone. Whether through a free giveaway or a special collector’s box, players now have multiple routes to unlock this Butterfinger-themed skin.

What the Butterfinger ECHO skin is

The Butterfinger ECHO-4 drone skin is a cosmetic item designed to change the look of your drone in Borderlands 4. It reflects Butterfinger’s branding style but does not alter gameplay or provide performance boosts. The item is purely for customization and style.

How to get the Butterfinger skin through purchase

Purchase the Collector’s Box through authorized retailers like GameStop or Madrinas’ official website. The box usually costs around $39.99 USD.

Some limitations and restrictions apply

• Region restrictions: The promotion is geared mainly toward U.S. players (VPNs could help). Check terms before purchasing or entering.
• Stock availability: Collector’s Boxes are limited and may sell out quickly.
• Code expiration: SHiFT codes often come with expiration dates, so redeem them promptly.
• One code per account: Most promotions allow a single redemption per SHiFT account.

Butterfinger Borderlands 4 promotion options

Should you go for it?

For collectors and fans of branded cosmetics, the Butterfinger ECHO skin offers a playful addition to the game. If you enjoy coffee and physical merch, the Collector’s Box provides decent value. On the other hand, if you only care about the skin itself, entering the giveaway might be the smarter choice—if you’re eligible.

The Butterfinger × Borderlands 4 collaboration is a fun cross-brand promotion that brings both in-game cosmetics and real-world goodies. If cosmetics are part of your gameplay enjoyment, redeeming this skin while the promotion lasts is worth considering.
