As a long-time fan of the Borderlands series, I must say that the latest addition of cosmetic items inspired by beloved characters like Moxxi, Fran, and Octavio is a welcome delight. Having played every game since the original, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as these familiar faces reappear in Borderlands 3.

As a die-hard Borderlands fan, I can hardly contain my excitement for the big screen debut of the Borderlands movie on August 9, 2024! In the lead-up to this historic moment for the franchise, the latest update for Borderlands 3 has been generating quite a buzz. This update has added character skins and other cosmetic items that pay tribute to some of our beloved characters from across the series. Some of these characters may even take center stage in the upcoming movie, thanks to their fresh new looks courtesy of this exciting update!

In the game Borderlands 3, players who already own the title are now able to get their hands on free, fresh skins inspired by characters from Borderlands. To claim these skins, simply download the latest update for Borderlands 3, which became available on July 18th, 2024. Once you’ve updated the game, the skins will be automatically added to your inventory. You can customize your character with the new skins, heads, and Echo themes at a Quick Change station. Additionally, you can equip the new weapon skin and trinkets directly from your inventory.

In contrast to typical character cosmetics, the fresh skins and heads from the Borderlands series in Borderlands 3 can be worn by any of the game’s four playable characters.

Moxxi is drawing attention with her latest collection of skins, but it’s a mixed blessing. On one side, it’s great to see a beloved character like Moxxi getting more attention in any form. However, many players believe she deserves more – perhaps as an independent weapon maker or a playable character in future Borderlands games. While these cosmetics are a positive move, they represent only one step towards this goal. There’s still a wealth of potential for Moxxi in upcoming games, and hopefully, the popularity shown by these cosmetics will lead to even more opportunities for fans to enjoy her character.

For both Fran and Octavio, it’s delightful to observe that characters from the spin-off series “New Tales From the Borderlands” are now making appearances in the primary “Borderlands” franchise. However, it feels odd to notice that numerous recurring characters have not been given their own cosmetic items like Anu, who alongside Fran and Octavio, is one of the playable characters in the game.

In the game Borderlands 3, it’s been reported that some fresh cosmetics are generating buzz for the upcoming Borderlands film. This could be why these cosmetics seem to be modeled after certain characters from the series. However, fans have noticed that several beloved Borderlands franchise characters like Claptrap, Krieg, Roland, Tannis, and Tiny Tina are absent in this new set. Could it be a hint that future Borderlands games will honor these characters more? Despite this, everyone agrees that receiving free cosmetics is worth celebrating, especially for longtime fans and those eagerly awaiting the movie.
