Locating Borderlands 4’s Golden Chests
Unlike previous Borderlands titles that featured a single Golden Chest, Borderlands 4 offers four such treasure troves, strategically placed across Kairos’s main safehouses: Belton’s Bore, The Launchpad, Carcadia, and The Lockaway. You’ll discover your initial chest early on, with the others becoming accessible as you progress through the game’s story.
What Exactly Are Shift Codes?
Shift codes are unique, 25-character alphanumeric codes that serve as a reward system, first introduced in Borderlands 2. They primarily grant players Golden Keys to open special in-game treasure chests, but can also unlock exclusive cosmetic items for your Vault Hunter. These codes typically have an expiration date, and are usually shared across official social media channels.
How to Easily Redeem Your Shift Codes
To start redeeming your Shift codes, you’ll need a Shift account. You can create one quickly and easily. Once registered, you can activate your codes either directly on the Shift website or through the Social menu within Borderlands 4. Remember that these codes usually have an expiration date, so it’s always best to redeem them as soon as you can to avoid missing out!
Once you’ve redeemed your keys, you have a choice: save them for later or use them immediately to acquire new gear. A crucial tip: The loot you receive from Golden Chests scales to your current character level. Using a Golden Key early in the game will give you lower-level weapons that quickly become obsolete. It’s often wiser to save your Golden Keys until you’re at a higher level to get more powerful, long-lasting equipment!
