Borderlands 4 is offering players 3 new SHiFT codes that can be redeemed right now for Golden Keys. Any Borderlands 4 players looking to get in on this loot while it’s available will need to redeem these SHiFT codes before they expire on October 20.
Loot is a huge part of the Borderlands 4 experience, and the Golden Keys earned through SHiFT codes give players the chance to earn Borderlands 4‘s coveted Legendary weapons from Golden Chests found in major in-game settlements: Belton’s Bore, Carcadia, The Lockaway, and The Launchpad. By linking the account of their platform of choice with the SHiFT website, Borderlands 4 players can enter these codes and receive Golden Keys delivered directly to their inventory.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford is offering 3 new SHiFT codes via his X account: TZR3T-JZJKJ-WXJTC-T33TB-RFCFR, 3S6TT-CZJWT-WXJT5-3B3BJ-JS3JZ, and J96BJ-RZJWB-C6TJC-BBJJJ-5B5W9. These codes can only be redeemed for 48 hours after they were posted, which was approximately 2:09PM PT on October 18, making October 20 the deadline. Each one grants a single Golden Key, which can only be used in Borderlands 4 to open a Golden Chest once, though each chest has the potential to offer multiple Legendary pieces of gear.
Redeeming a SHiFT code is fairly simple once players have linked the account of their desired platform to the redemption website. Players simply need to enter the code as written (copy and pasting works, too), then click the “Check” button to confirm that the SHiFT code is still valid. Once validated, players will be prompted to select which platform they would like the reward to be redeemed on. After making this selection, players should be able to open their Borderlands 4 game and find the newly added Golden Keys in their inventory under the dollar sign tab that displays their currency.
SHiFT codes granting players Golden Keys have long been a staple of the Borderlands series, and are a particular favorite freebie of the community. Since Borderlands 4‘s launch, Gearbox and Pitchford have been very generous with the number of Golden Keys being given away via SHiFT codes, and players who miss out on these codes’ October 20 deadline can rest assured that more SHiFT codes are likely coming in another week.
Additionally, players have been able to participate in community challenges for the chance to earn SHiFT codes that unlock special Vault Hunter skins. Rafa’s Savings Savor skin, Amon’s Cult Classic skin, and Vex’s Mass Market Appeal skins are all available for free as a result of players meeting their associated community challenge milestones. The current community challenge unlocks a SHiFT code for Harlowe’s Maliwannabee skin if players can collectively complete 350,000 contracts as the Vault Hunter by October 19.
