Where to Find Borderlands 4 Golden Chests
Gallery: Explore Golden Chest Locations
Unlike previous Borderlands titles that featured a single Golden Chest, Borderlands 4 ups the ante with four such chests! These are strategically located in the main safe zones of Kairos: Belton’s Bore, The Launchpad, Carcadia, and The Lockaway. You’ll encounter the first chest early in your journey, with the others becoming accessible as you progress through the main campaign.
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 typically grant players Golden Keys, which unlock special treasure chests filled with valuable loot. However, they can also provide unique cosmetic items to personalize your Vault Hunter. It’s important to note that Shift codes always come with an expiration date, usually between 48 hours and a week, so act fast! You can often find these codes shared across official social media channels and affiliated gaming sites.
How to Redeem Shift Codes
To start claiming your rewards, you’ll first need to set up a Shift account. This process is quick and easy, and once complete, you can redeem your Shift codes either directly on the Gearbox website or through Borderlands 4’s in-game Social menu. Since these codes often have a limited lifespan, it’s always a good idea to redeem them as soon as you find them.
Once redeemed, you can choose to save your Golden Keys for later or use them immediately to snatch up some fresh gear. A crucial tip: the loot you get from Golden Chests scales to your current character level. Consider holding onto your Golden Keys until you reach a higher level. Using them early in the game might net you a weapon that quickly becomes obsolete, whereas waiting could earn you powerful, long-lasting firepower.
