Notes:

  • Each code can be redeemed once per SHiFT account.
  • Codes are 25 characters. Entry is not case‑sensitive; hyphens are added automatically in‑game.

How to redeem SHiFT codes (website)

If you prefer to redeem without booting the game:

  1. Open the SHiFT rewards page at shift.gearboxsoftware.com/rewards and sign in or create a free account.
  2. Link the platform where you play Borderlands 4 (Gaming Platforms in your profile).
  3. In Rewards, paste a 25‑character code and select your platform to redeem.

Redeemed items are delivered the next time you launch the game on your linked platform.

How to redeem SHiFT codes (in‑game)

You can also do it from the main menu or pause menu:

  1. Open the SHiFT tab.
  2. Go to Rewards (gift icon).
  3. Enter a code and choose Redeem.

You can review successful claims in Reward History.

Where Golden Keys are used

Golden Keys open special Golden Chests in hub areas. In Borderlands 4 you’ll find them at:

  • The Launchpad (Fadefields)
  • Carcadia (Electi faction town)
  • Belton’s Bore (Augur faction town)
  • The Lockaway (Dominion safehouse)

Insert a key to roll a chest full of high‑rarity gear.

Good to know

  • Golden Keys scale to your character. Using them at higher levels yields higher‑level rolls.
  • You’ll see your Golden Key count in the inventory’s currency area.
  • New SHiFT drops are posted on developer and franchise social channels; limited‑time keys can expire quickly.

Tip: If you’re still leveling, consider banking Golden Keys until you reach the level cap or step into tougher endgame content to avoid low‑level pulls.

These promos rotate, but the long‑running cosmetics and the permanent Golden Key code are reliable anchors. If a code shows as invalid but you haven’t used it before, try again in the in‑game SHiFT menu and confirm your platform links on your SHiFT profile. When in doubt, redeem promptly—temporary keys tend to vanish fast.
