Thispage is part of IGN's Borderlands 3 Wiki guide and contains an updated list of all known permanent and new Borderlands 3 Shift Codes for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. These codes can be used to obtain unique rewards like Golden Keys and unlock special Legendary Weapons and other loot.
Borderlands 3 Shift Codes and Golden Keys are announced regularly through different sources. All the latest are compiled below and include the amount of Golden Keys rewarded, the dates they are added, and when they will expire. Shift Codes and VIP Codes can also unlock special cosmetics and other items not found anywhere else, so be sure to check back regularly for new Shift Codes.
SHiFT is Gearbox Software's free fan reward program which sends subscribers SHiFT codes to redeem within the Borderland 3 menu. It's the platform that powers all in-game promotions and rewards in Gearbox games.
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.
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.
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.

Looking for Borderlands 3 shift codes? With every instalment in the series, Shift codes are Gearbox's chosen way to dole out post-launch loot and rewards. On a pretty consistent basis, Gearbox gives away these freebies through chunky 25-digit codes redeemed at
shift.gearboxsoftware.com.
Like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Shift codes, Borderlands 3's Shift rewards revolve around different types of key, which are used at a chest in Sanctuary to unlock shiny new guns. It's quite a bit like loot box systems from other games, except these are free. The main catch is that a good number of these Shift codes expire, and sometimes pretty quick. That's why it's handy to keep a guide like this bookmarked. We're keeping a living log of every Shift code as it comes in, as well as its reported expiration, and the occasional permanent code. There's usually at least a few codes going around that'll work.
Borderlands 3 Shift codes usually arrive nowadays in the form of multi-use codes that can be redeemed for Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. To find them as they appear, be sure to check Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford's Twitter account, where codes tend to show up first nowadays. If there aren't any active codes there, try the official Borderlands account. In the past, codes have dropped there first.
Prior to Borderlands 3's launch, Gearbox gave out Vault Insider Program keys that worked similarly to Shift Codes. You earned them by doing things like watching trailers or following its social media.
In-game, your golden keys should be delivered to you via Borderlands mail. But how do you use 'em? That's simple: Head to the big golden chest in Sanctuary, near the fast travel point. Here's where to find it, and what it looks like:

I redeemed a whole bunch of working shift codes by registering on the gearboxsoftware website. I should have more than 100 golden keys by now for golden chest in the Borderlands 2. Some redemptions are shown below.
You can only redeem the codes in-game if both accounts are linked.I did find an entry on the official 2K support that explains how to link the PSN account to the SHIFT account for Tiny Tina's Wonderland and I assume that it works the same way for Borderlands 2.
In the past Borderlands 2 had issues with SHIFT codes on PS3 consoles when you linked the accounts via the website. If that still happens for you on the PS5 the solution was in the past to delete the existing link and to re-link the accounts, but this time you start the process from the PS5 and not the website.
The recent announcement by Gearbox about the release of Borderlands 3 has sent shivers of anticipation across the gaming world. Even though Borderlands 2 was released in 2012, it has been a ton of fun driven on Steam.
The popularity of the game is primarily driven by the idea of having shift codes that players can find and use to get an edge on the game. Using the codes, players can unlock rare weapons and different looks for the characters within the game.
There are still loads of Golden key shift codes that work, but, you can never be too sure. Most are pretty decent with bundles of up to five golden keys. With Golden keys, you have unlimited options but, here are some shift codes for keys you should definitely consider activating;
As you wait for the Borderlands 3 launch, these shift codes will keep the old but still gold Borderlands 2 game as exciting as ever with a fresh look all the time. Remember that the codes expire every one or two weeks. However, most of them are never deactivated and some of the old ones might still work. Most of the ones listed here are the new releases, they have a higher chance of working.
Got the PS5 version, Trying to get golden keys via SHIFT codes, but it doesn't seem to be working. Trying to redeem codes via the code input screen in BL3, and most if not all codes say invalid. I am redeeming the keys via the shift website as well, and I don't seem to be getting them
They must have fixed the transfer issues then, because the PS5 version couldn't transfer them when the game first came out. I was also under the impression the trophy related glitches with this trophy had been fixed but obviously not .
You need the Director's Cut DLC installed, then either get lucky and earn one as a reward for levelling up a vault card and opening one of the subsequent reward chests or be even luckier and Gearbox gives one away via Facebook or Twitter. Either way it's luck you get one.
There is a bunch of loot available from Shift codes, using golden keys on a special golden chest found on Sanctuary III, for Borderlands 3 weapons, and various cosmetics such as skins and character customisations.
