Borderlands 4 Boss Suggests Reselling Fortnite Skin On Ebay, Which Might Get Your Account Banned

After seven years between games, Borderlands 4 is just around the corner. In the run up to the game’s release, Gearbox President Randy Pitchford has said some off-the-wall things. But his latest remarks about potentially reselling a Borderlands-inspired Fortnite skin sounds like a surefire way to get banned by Epic Games.

On X, Pitchford recalled that the Psycho Bandit skin became an in-demand item on Fortnite, and suggested that flipping the Mad Moxxi skin on eBay may also prove to be lucrative.

It’s true that the Psycho Bandit Fortnite skin was very popular in 2019, in part because it was only briefly available as a promotion for Borderlands 3. After appearing in the Epic Games Store for a limited time, Psycho Bandit wasn’t officially available for purchase in Fortnite until it returned in April 2025.

Mad Moxxi’s Fortnite skin will be available to players who preorder Borderlands 4 on Epic Games Store, and as a standalone purchase for a limited time starting on September 29. However, that skin is unlikely to be as virtually scarce as Psycho Bandit. And since reselling skins on eBay or other third-party outlets is against Epic’s terms of service, it’s just not a viable strategy.

Earlier this year, Pitchford said that fans would “find a way to make it happen” if Borderlands 4 was $80. Those remarks weren’t well-received, although Pitchford also stated that the development budget for Borderlands 4 was “more than twice” what Gearbox had to work with for Borderlands 3.

Borderlands 4 will officially launch on September 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Switch 2 owners will have to wait until October 3 for the game to arrive.
