Borderlands 3 Shift Codes see the return of the fan-favourite giveaways from other Borderlands games.

What are Shift Codes?

Shift Codes return in Borderlands 3 after appearing in previous games in the series, allowing players to earn free rewards, such as Golden Keys, used to open unique chests for rare loot.

Codes are usually shared by Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford on Twitter. In the past, they have also been shared via email newsletters as well. The good news is Shift Codes are not a one code per person deal, meaning there is a list of codes available anyone can use to earn rewards.

How to redeem Borderlands 3 Shift Codes

Once you have a Shift Code you want to enter in Borderlands 3, you can redeem it in a few different ways.

  • You can redeem a Shift Code online through the dedicated Shift rewards website. Remember if you're using the dedicated Shift website, after creating an account, you then need to link your console of choice so when redeeming the Shift Code, you can select the platform so it'll appear in the game.
    • The dedicated website used to redeem Shift Codes for Borderlands 3. Codes can also be used to claim free goodies in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
  • You can also redeem a Shift Code in-game from the main menu, by going to the Shift Code section and then entering a Shift Code. Though it's a little more work, if you're running into issues redeeming Shift Codes online then this can do the trick.
