How To Get Golden Keys: Borderlands 3 Guide And Wiki

Last updated on December 21, 2019 by A L

In Borderlands 3, you may have stumbled upon a huge chest in Sanctuary that requires a golden key to open.

When unlocked, the chest will present to you high tier weapons, mods, grenades, artifacts and cosmetics.

Here’s how you can get golden keys in Borderlands 3.

 

Sign up for SHiFT first

SHiFT is an out-of-game service that is used in the Borderlands series throughout the years.

What it does is that you can redeem codes (25-characters) to exchange for items; usually golden keys.

These codes are usually given out from time-to-time in social media promotions or from pre-order rewards.

Players can use the same code to redeem in-game rewards within a limited time period.

If you don’t have an account with SHiFT yet, sign up for one using their official site.

It’s pretty easy to sign up as you can use other platforms to register (e.g. Twitch, Twitter, Steam, etc.).

 

How to redeem SHiFT codes

After signing up for a SHiFT account, it’s time to redeem codes.

You can redeem SHiFT codes through a few ways. One common way is through the “Social” section within the Borderlands 3 game itself.

It’s between the “Mail” and “Matchmaking” section. Just key in the 25-character codes.

Another way is by using the SHiFT website itself. It’s even easier to redeem the codes there.

Just copy-paste the code, press “check” and subsequently “redeem”.

After redeeming them, you’ll still need to get them from the mail as highlighted below.

 

List of Active SHiFT Codes

If you need a list of SHiFT codes that are still functional at the time of writing, here are some of them.
