Borderlands introduced Shift codes to the series formula ages ago, and that tradition goes unbroken in Borderlands 4. Historically, Vault Hunters found new additions on official X accounts, and there's been a steady stream of Borderlands 4 Shift codes flying about since launch week that continues today.

One of these Shift codes is actually from the end of the Borderlands 4 credits, of all places. Wait till the end and you'll be treated to a thank you message from the Gearbox developers, and a Shift code as a cherry on top.
Shift codes typically reward you with Golden Keys, which are used to open the unique chests found in Belton's Bore, The Launchpad, Carcadia, or The Lockaway to receive legendary drops. You can check how many Golden Keys you have in the currency section of your inventory.
Outside of this typical code, you can also grab one Borderlands 4 Shift code through a rather unusual process. You'll just need to adjust some settings if you already have a Shift account, or sign up for one to receive the Hazard Pay weapon skin.

How to get the Hazard Pay weapon skin
If you already have a Shift account, log in and check for the blue banner with the Hazard Pay weapon skin in the account section. If you don't have one, go ahead and register for free then loop back to the account page.
Select Profile, scroll down to User Preferences, and select the first option, "I would like to receive news and promotional messages from 2K and its affiliates." It should also have a little blurb just below that mentioning you'll also get the Hazard Pay cosmetic when you play Borderlands 4.
Finally, click Update Preferences, and the note on the Hazard Pay skin disappears at the bottom. The new blue banner at the top promises to deliver the weapon skin as long as you link your associated gaming platform with the same Shift account. So double check your Steam, Epic Games, or Xbox Live logins (wherever you plan to buy Borderlands 4) under Gaming Platforms to make sure you're prepared.
The Hazard Pay weapon skin isn't something that will automatically drop in your inventory. You'll need to log into Borderlands 4 with your Shift account to trigger the code email., then redeem it through the in-game menu or official site.
Where to find more Shift codes for Borderlands 4
Well, Gearbox has already confirmed its official newsletter as one source of Borderlands 4 Shift codes, promising "those who stay subscribed are sure to reap additional rewards."
As for other sources, we've seen Borderlands Shift codes pop up on Randy Pitchford's X account and the official Borderlands X account. Gearbox has also stuffed codes away in hidden places, like in concept art or trailers, though those usually wind up confirmed by Gearbox social media accounts, too.
How to redeem Borderlands 4 Shift codes
The gist of Shift code redemption will work the same in Borderlands 4. You can redeem codes either in-game or through the site, and you'll want to hop on them ASAP to avoid losing out on any limited-time rewards.
Here's what you need to do:
- Log in or create a Shift account through Gearbox's official website
- Select the Gaming Platforms tab to link the storefront where you bought BL4
- Visit the Rewards tab while logged in to your account
- Enter the 25-digit Shift code and select Check
You can also redeem Borderlands 4 codes in-game by opening the Rewards tab and using the Shift menu.
