Where to find Borderlands 4 Golden Chests
Unlike previous Borderlands titles that featured a single Golden Chest, Borderlands 4 ups the ante with four distinct Golden Chests! These are strategically placed within Kairos’s main safehouses: Belton’s Bore, The Launchpad, Carcadia, and The Lockaway. You’ll stumble upon the first one early in your adventure, with the others becoming accessible as you progress through the main story.
What are Shift codes?
Shift codes are a long-standing reward system in the Borderlands universe, dating back to Borderlands 2. These 25-character codes are primarily known for granting Golden Keys, which unlock special treasure chests. However, they can also bestow unique cosmetics for your Vault Hunter. Keep in mind that Shift codes always have an expiration date, usually between 48 hours and a week, so be sure to use them quickly! You can typically find these codes on official social media channels and affiliated websites.
How to redeem Shift codes
Redeeming your Shift code is straightforward! First, you’ll need to create a Shift account. This process is quick and hassle-free. Once set up, you can activate your codes either directly on the Shift website or through Borderlands 4’s in-game Social menu. Since most Shift codes have an expiration date, it’s always best to redeem them as soon as you get them.
After redemption, you have a choice: bank your Golden Keys for a rainy day, or unleash them all at once to grab some fantastic new gear immediately!
Crucial Tip: The loot you receive from Golden Chests scales with your current character level. Therefore, it might be wise to save your Golden Keys for later in the game when you’re a higher level. Using them too early could grant you low-level weapons that quickly become obsolete, whereas waiting will ensure you get powerful gear that lasts.
