Borderlands 4 brings SHiFT codes back for Golden Keys and cosmetics. Golden Keys open Golden Chests in major hubs — The Launchpad, Carcadia, Belton’s Bore, and The Lockaway — for a roll at high‑rarity guns and gear. Codes are single‑use per SHiFT account and many expire within days, so redeem promptly.

How to redeem Borderlands 4 SHiFT codes

  • On the web: sign in to the SHiFT website, link your platform account under Gaming Platforms, then open the Rewards tab to enter the code.
  • In‑game: open the Pause Menu, select SHiFT → Rewards, and enter the code.

Codes redeem once per SHiFT account. If you see a success message but nothing shows up immediately, wait — rewards can take a short time to arrive in‑game.


Where to spend Golden Keys

Golden Keys are consumed one at a time to open Golden Chests found in the main faction hubs: The Launchpad, Carcadia, Belton’s Bore, and The Lockaway. These chests drop randomized loot and cosmetics. Chest rewards scale to your current character level, so consider saving Golden Keys until you’re further along if you want higher‑level gear.


Ways to get more codes and rewards

  • Watch for limited‑time code drops on official social channels; many last 48 hours or less.
  • Newsletter perk: enable marketing preferences in your SHiFT profile to receive the “Hazard Pay” weapon skin when you log into Borderlands 4 with that account.
  • Promotions: some partners distribute unique SHiFT codes for cosmetics (e.g., Butterfinger ECHO‑4 skin). Retail bundles can also include Golden Keys; for example, an official ECHO‑4 bundle includes a code for 5 Golden Keys and runs through December 31, 2030.

Note: Some promo codes require extra account linking (for example, linking a 2K account within SHiFT). Manage all connections from the SHiFT site’s Gaming Platforms section.


Golden Key codes rotate frequently. Grab long‑running cosmetic codes now, keep an eye on short‑window drops, and redeem through the SHiFT Rewards flow as soon as you see them.
