Mercenary Day Magic: Vault Hunters Suit Up with the "Hype Squad" Skin!

 

As 2025 comes to a close, the festivities on Kairos are reaching a fever pitch. Gearbox Software has just dropped Day 10 of the "12 Days of Mercenary Day" event, and it’s a stylish one. Today’s gift is the "Hype Squad" Vault Hunter Skin, a vibrant new look available for all four playable characters.

Whether you're tearing through enemies as Vex or holding the line as Amon, this skin ensures your squad looks the part while you hunt for that end-of-year legendary loot.

Season’s Lootings: 5x Legendary Drop Rates!

The "Hype Squad" skin isn't the only reason to be Topside right now. The concurrent "Season's Lootings" event is currently in full swing, running until January 8, 2026.

Gearbox has boosted Legendary drop rates by up to 5x across the planet (excluding Big Encore Bosses and Bloomreaper). If you’ve been looking for that perfect roll on a Maliwan Plasma Coil or a Vladof Aegon’s Dream, now is the time to grind.

The Road to Day 12

With only two days left in the Mercenary Day celebration, the community is buzzing with speculation about the final "Grand Prize."

• Day 11 Speculation: Many fans are hoping for a high-tier Weapon Skin or a bundle of Diamond Keys.

• Day 12 Predictions: Rumors suggest we might see a significant piece of story content, such as a set of exclusive ECHO logs that bridge the gap to the upcoming "Mad Ellie" story pack in Q1 2026.

Final Thoughts

The "12 Days of Mercenary Day" has been more than just a giveaway; it’s a testament to the thriving community on Kairos. From the viral "Noelle Holiday" mod discussions to the hunt for the Bloomreaper, Borderlands 4 is ending its launch year on a high note.
