Locating Golden Chests in Borderlands 4
Unlike previous Borderlands titles that typically featured a single Golden Chest, Borderlands 4 offers four of these coveted chests! They are strategically placed across Kairos in its main safehouses: Belton’s Bore, The Launchpad, Carcadia, and The Lockaway. You’ll discover your first chest early in your adventure, with the others becoming accessible as you progress through the main campaign.

Understanding Shift Codes
Shift codes are unique, 25-character reward codes that have been a staple since Borderlands 2. These codes primarily grant players Golden Keys, which are essential for opening special treasure chests. However, they can also unlock exclusive cosmetics for your Vault Hunter. It’s important to note that Shift codes always have an expiration date, usually between 48 hours and one week, and are often distributed through official social media channels and partners.
How to Redeem Your Shift Codes
Redeeming your Shift codes is a straightforward process. First, you’ll need to create a Shift account (if you don’t already have one). Once registered, you can activate your codes either through the dedicated Shift website or directly within Borderlands 4’s in-game Social menu. Since these codes often have limited-time availability, it’s always a good idea to redeem them as soon as you get them.
After redeeming, you have the option to save your Golden Keys for later or use them immediately to acquire new gear. Remember, the rewards from Golden Chests scale with your current level. So, if you’re aiming for long-term power, it might be wise to hold onto your Golden Keys until you reach a higher level, ensuring you get top-tier weapons and equipment.
