Randy Pitchford revealed a new SHiFT code for free Golden Keys in Borderlands games, available for a limited time starting now.

Borderlands creator Randy Pitchford revealed a new SHiFT code that gives players three Golden Keys in multiple games, including Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3. However, Borderlands fans must act fast to claim their free keys, since the SHiFT code will only be active for a limited window, similarly to previous SHiFT code drops.
Borderlands players will often cycle through loot on their journey, with new loot drops typically offering more powerful weapons and gear than the last. Although the Borderlands loot formula has remained consistent for 15 years, millions of players continue to come back for more, thanks to long-term support from Gearbox. The most recent entry in the series, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, maintains a loot-focused approach, and players can regularly receive free loot in the game by following Gearbox’s official channels.
On Twitter, Randy Pitchford shared a new SHiFT code for fans to redeem right now in their favorite Borderlands games in the series. Redeeming the SHiFT code HRFBT-JBRBT-J33BT-JBBJ3-FBSJK will give players three Golden/Skeleton Keys to use in Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. After logging into a Gearbox account, the SHiFT code may be redeemed within the respective games or at the official SHiFT website. The code will only be active for a few days, with the expiration date set for August 1 at 10:00 AM CT.

After redeeming the SHiFT code, Borderlands fans will immediately receive their Golden/Skeleton Keys in all the aforementioned games. These keys may be used on a Golden Chest located in the game’s main hub. For instance, Borderlands 3 players would need to head to Sanctuary in order to access the Golden Chest and use their Golden Keys. After opening the Golden Chest, the player receives a variety of randomly generated weapons and gear, which scale in rarity and power with the player’s level. In short, Golden and Skeleton Keys ensure that players gain powerful loot at any stage of the game within the expansive Borderlands universe.

Borderlands’ most stylish and unique weapons can be acquired from Golden Chests, so players should quickly redeem the latest SHiFT code and claim their free loot before August 1 arrives. Gearbox will continue to release new SHiFT codes over time, as free keys encourage players to return to their favorite Borderlands game and acquire a new weapon to test out in high-level content or a newly started playthrough. The regular release of new SHiFT codes also gives the community another reason to keep coming back to the Borderlands franchise while waiting for a potential Borderlands 4 reveal in the future.
