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.
