How to Redeem Shift Codes for Borderlands 3
SHiFT is Gearbox Software's free fan reward program which sends subscribers SHiFT codes to redeem within the Borderland 3 menu. It's the platform that powers all in-game promotions and rewards in Gearbox games.
- Sign up for SHiFT.
- When you sign up, you canlink your account via Steam, the Epic Store, Stadia and the PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
- Once you have created and linked your SHiFT account, you canredeem SHiFT Codes for Golden Keys.
- Head to theSHiFT Account Rewards Pageto quickly copy and paste the codes listed at the top of the page into the Code Redemption section.
- You can also do this directly in the game at any time by going to the menu and entering the Social Tab, and heading to the SHiFT section to enter the codes through the game itself.
- Be sure to select the correct platform for your code- you'll then be alerted to how many Golden Keys will be added to your account.
How to Get and Use Golden Keys in Borderlands 3
Once you have redeemed the SHiFT Codes to obtain a certain amount of Golden Keys, you will find the special Golden Chest aboard the Sanctuary 3 spaceship, which you can start doing once you leave Pandora for the first time at the end of the 4th mission.
IMPORTANT: SIMPLY REDEEMING A SHiFT CODE WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY ADD A GOLDEN KEY TO YOUR INVENTORY. YOU MUST CHECK YOUR MAIL IN THE SOCIAL TAB TO FIND THE MAIL WITH YOUR GOLDEN KEYS AND PRESS THE ACCEPT BUTTON UNTIL ALL AVAILABLE KEYS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO YOUR INVENTORY.

Each Golden Key has a one time use to open the Golden Chest to reward you with a random assortment of high-tier weapons and items. They will always be Uncommon rarity or above, and will always be at your current level when opening the chest.
After you use the Golden Key to collect the loot, the chest will re-seal, and you can use additional keys to keep opening the chest for more loot. Use those keys carefully! Since Golden Keys are limited, you'll want to use them when you really need a good weapon, and your current stock just isn't cutting it.
Where to Find SHiFT Codes and Golden Key Sources
Gearbox and its employees often share SHiFT codes on social media. All users can use these same codes, but after a certain time period, they will expire. These codes are independent of your character saves, so one code will work in each individual save.
