The short answer

  • Bring one Drip creature to the Reel of Fortune machine.
  • Insert it for one cosmetic roll.
  • Read which item received the skin.
  • Hold that matching item and use Z/C to cycle its available skins.

Use the Reel of Fortune

  1. 1

    Catch and keep a Drip creature.

  2. 2

    Take it to the Reel of Fortune machine.

  3. 3

    Insert the creature and wait for the roll to finish.

  4. 4

    Note the item named by the reward before leaving the machine.

Equip the reward

Hold the item that received the cosmetic reward. The current community guide reports Z and C as the controls for cycling skins. If nothing changes, confirm you are holding the correct item rather than a different weapon or tool.

If the weapon skin does not appear

  1. 1

    Check the reward name from the completed Reel roll; skins are tied to that named item.

  2. 2

    Equip and hold the matching weapon or tool before pressing Z or C.

  3. 3

    Try both cycle keys once. Switching a different item cannot display the reward.

  4. 4

    If the roll itself was blank at 4K, update the game before spending another Drip creature.

Blank or invisible roll at 4K

Patch 1.0.5 says the invisible slot-machine roll at 4K was fixed. Update the game before treating a blank roll as a lost reward. This page does not invent drop odds or claim a specific skin is guaranteed.
