Borderlands is well-known for its addicting looter shooter elements, and the franchise's loot-based formula has remained consistent over the past decade and a half. Regularly, Gearbox Software releases new SHiFT codes to reward the community for their continued support of the beloved series over the years, which players can redeem in all the Borderlands games except for the original Borderlands title.
Borderlands 3 Sees Massive Resurgence After Movie Release
In the wake of the release of the new Borderlands movie, the third entry into the looter-shooter franchise sees a huge player count increase.
On his Twitter account, Randy Pitchford revealed a new SHiFT code for fans to redeem right now in Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. The SHiFT code was released just a week after the latest Borderlands 3 update, and Pitchford noted that the last SHiFT code drop reached "record redemption rates," implying that player engagement was very high this summer. Redeeming the SHiFT code 9F6JT-KXXTJ-BJBB3-JTJT3-TWHFZ will give players three Golden/Skeleton Keys to use in all four of the aforementioned Borderlands entries. After logging into a Gearbox account, the SHiFT code may be redeemed within the games or at the official SHiFT website. It's worth noting that the code will only be active for a week, with the expiration date set for August 22 at 10:00 AM CT/11:00 AM ET.
Randy Pitchford Releases Another New Borderlands SHiFT Code That Grants Three Golden Keys
Once the SHiFT code has been redeemed, Borderlands fans will immediately receive their Golden/Skeleton Keys upon loading up their save data. These keys may be used on a Golden Chest located in the game's main hub. For example, Borderlands 3 players must head to Sanctuary in order to access the Golden Chest and use all three of their Golden Keys. After opening the Golden Chest, the player receives an assortment of randomly generated weapons and gear that scale with their level. As a result, Golden and Skeleton Keys are a valuable source of powerful loot during any playthrough in the growing Borderlands universe.
Golden Chests offer some of the most intriguing and fun weapons in the Borderlands series, so players may want to act fast and redeem the SHiFT code before August 22 arrives. Randy Pitchford will likely continue to release new SHiFT codes over time, as the free codes can help promote high player engagement with the series. Further, the high player engagement may also be a sign that Borderlands fans are eagerly waiting for a potential Borderlands 4 reveal.
