Twitch streamers will be playing Borderlands 3 during the May 1 Gameplay Reveal Event and freebies will be given to viewers through the brand new Twitch ECHOcast extension. The livestream will start at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST on May 1, 1am GMT+8 / 3am AEST on May 2.

If a streamer stumbles upon a rare chest and opens it, viewers will have the opportunity to receive the same in-game loot via the ECHOcast Twitch extension. After a streamer opens a rare chest, viewers will have only 30 seconds to opt into the event. The loot that they receive will automatically scale according to their character’s level when they retrieve it from the in-game mailbox.
Once a viewer is selected as a winner, the extension will prompt the viewer to choose an item of their choice. That selected item will then be automatically added to the viewer’s Twitch-linked SHiFT account and the loot can be claimed via the in-game mailbox once Borderlands 3 is released on September 13, 2019.
