Luckily, developer Gearbox Software is ready to lend a hand. Instead of having to farm every piece of legendary gear in the game, you can roll the dice on loot with the Golden Keys unlocked by SHiFT promo codes.
If you’re already swimming in more loot than you know what to do with, some SHiFT codes also unlock special cosmetic looks for your favorite Vault Hunters. Special in-game challenges have already unlocked promo codes for the Amon, Rafa, and Vex vault hunter skins, with a Harlowe skin unlocking soon. Here’s how to redeem the latest SHiFT codes in Borderlands 4.

How to Redeem SHiFT Codes for Your Borderlands 4 Account
Although SHiFT codes are completely free rewards that you can accumulate, you must create a SHiFT account to enter active codes in the game.
SHiFT is a service that Gearbox integrates into its biggest games, and creating an account unlocks forums and exclusive beta participation. It is also necessary to create an account to be able to transmit promotional codes, which is what most fans are interested in.
Even though the fearsome powers of Vex’s sirens control the battlefield, it never hurts to have a legendary weapon in your holster.
Once your account is created, you will be able to enter your SHiFT codes in two separate places. In your SHiFT account settings, you can find a Rewards tab with a field to enter Borderlands promo codes. Once the codes are entered, all unlocked items will be added to your account the next time you open the game.
However, an easier way to enter your SHiFT codes is within Borderlands 4 itself. In the game’s pause menu, you can access a SHiFT. Select the Rewards tab from the resulting menu, enter your codes and the unlocked items will be immediately available on your save.
Where are SHiFT codes normally published?
SHiFT codes are frequently posted on Gearbox and Gearbox-affiliated social networks. To have the best chance of detecting each new SHiFT code released, you should follow Gearbox on X and on Facebook.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford also posts promotions on his X account, so if you’re brave enough to follow him despite his frequent outbursts towards fans, you can find SHiFT codes there as well.
Wait to use your new golden keys until you have reached the end of the Borderlands 4 game.
What are SHiFT codes?
SHiFT Codes are promotional codes that Gearbox occasionally releases that reward players with loot and cosmetics in Borderlands games. The main reward from the SHiFT code is a Gold Key, which opens the Gold Chest in most central areas of Borderlands.
But don’t spend them immediately: it’s worth saving your Gold Keys until you reach max level and play on the hardest difficulty, as the loot rewards will scale accordingly to your character. This is a great way to start farming late game legendaries quickly and easily.
