Borderlands 2 Skins and Heads Unlock Guide

Find out how you can customize your character's looks in Borderlands 2 by unlocking a huge variety of skins and heads to use

Although Borderlands 2 does not give players many character customization options initially, you can unlock some cool stuff throughout your adventure in Pandora. This guide focuses on Borderlands 2 Skins and Heads Unlocks that can alter your characters in funny ways.

Borderlands 2 Skins and Heads Unlock

You can unlock these skins and heads by completing different missions or completing the challenges. Killing enemies and bosses can also get you these skins and heads but since they are random, you may have to kill a lot of them before some enemy drops the loot you have been hunting for.
