Traditionally, SHiFT codes unlock rewards like skins customizations and coveted Golden Keys, which open special Golden Key Loot Chests. This page will cover how to get them and maintain a list of universal SHiFT codes that can be used by everyone.
SHiFT Codes List and Rewards[edit]
Below are the SHiFT codes and the rewards you get for them.
Note: Some shift codes that provide Golden Keys are obtained by those that bought the Diamond Loot Chest Edition of the game – but they work for anyone.

Pre-Order Bonus Golden Keys[edit]
If you pre-ordered Borderlands 3 from any retailer or source, you are eligible to earn Insider VIP rewards – including 5 Golden Keys.
To do so, you must have signed up for the Borderlands VIP account, and filled out a survey form listing where you pre-ordered the game from. If done correctly, and if you play within 14 days of the game’s release on September 13th, you will earn a special weapon, skin, and 5 Gold Keys that will arrive in your mail.
How to Get SHiFT Codes and Golden Keys[edit]
SHiFT is Gearbox Software’s free fan reward program which sends subscribers SHiFT codes to redeem within Borderland’s menu.
Once you begin signing up, you can automatically sign up through various sources and link your accounts through theses service, including the Epic Store or consoles.
Note: Why you need a SHiFT account: SHiFT is the platform that powers all in-game promotions and rewards in Gearbox games. Without SHiFT there’d be no way for you to receive all of the in-game rewards that are coming your way.
Once you have successfully created and linked your SHiFT account, you can then redeem SHiFT Codes for Golden Keys in a variety of ways.
Head to the SHiFT Account Rewards Page to quickly copy and paste the codes listed at the top of the page into the Code Redemption section, and 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.
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.
How to Use Golden Keys[edit]
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.
Additional SHiFT Code and Golden Key Sources[edit]
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.
