Borderlands 3 Shift codes are still incredibly valuable to players, and have become a key (no pun intended) part of the game to the point that new promos are still being given out five years after its initial release. The latest of these was found during PAX West 2024, featuring the reveal of the Borderlands series' "most valuable Shift Code" ever thanks to genius fans cracking a secret code on a card handed out at the event. That code grants a huge FIFTY keys for opening Golden Chests and accessing top-tier loot, while previous promos can also be used to unlock fresh cosmetics to customize your appearance. While these Shift codes are completely free, you shouldn't sleep on them as some are only valid for a limited time. Get them secured on your account, and you'll have a selection of rewards waiting for you next time you join the game.

Because the codes vary greatly in terms of dates, rewards, and availability, it's always worth checking what the latest ones are to make sure you're not missing out. New ones can drop without warning and getting as many Borderlands 3 Shift codes as you can is the best way to get some great loot fast, while you wait for the release of Borderlands 4 somewhat further down the line.

To claim any of the Borderlands 3 Shift codes we have below, you'll need to head into the game where you can find the Shift menu. In there you'll be able to input the code and, if it's still valid, Golden Keys will be sent to your Vault Hunter's mailbox to be collected. These Keys can then be used to unlock a Golden Chest to reveal the shiny loot inside. Or, if it's a cosmetic, you'll unlock the option for your Vault Hunter to wear it as they quest across Pandora.

You can also redeem Shift codes online from Gearbox's website, so long as you're signed into the same profile as the one on which you're playing Borderlands 3. And, if you're playing any of the older games, we've also got all the Borderlands 1 and 2 Shift codes that still work over the page.

The Borderlands 3 Shift Codes immediately below shouldn't expire so should always be your first port of call. You can only claim them once though, so best to wait until you're a high level Vault Hunter. If you use them at lower levels you'll get loot that might get outpaced as you progress.
