Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel continues to captivate action-RPG fans with its low-gravity combat and rich loot mechanics across Elpis. Players looking to upgrade their arsenal can utilize special promotional codes distributed by Gearbox Software. Understanding how these keys work and where to redeem them helps you maximize your rewards during your playthrough.
What Are SHiFT Codes in The Pre-Sequel
SHiFT codes are 25-character promotional keys released periodically by 2K Games and Gearbox. These codes grant players access to exclusive in-game items, character customization options, and Golden Keys. Golden Keys are especially valuable because they open the unique Golden Loot Chest located in the central hub city of Concordia.
Redeeming Codes Through the Official SHiFT Website
The fastest way to redeem your codes is by visiting the official Gearbox SHiFT website on a web browser. Once logged in, navigate to the rewards tab and link your active gaming platform account, such as Steam or console profiles. Simply paste the promotional code into the redemption box to claim your rewards instantly without launching the game.
Claiming Rewards In-Game at Concordia
If you prefer to enter codes directly inside the game, head straight to Concordia's central square. Locate the dedicated SHiFT Kiosk, which sits near the Fast Travel station and the Golden Chest. Open the kiosk interface, type in your code, and confirm the redemption to transfer the keys into your inventory.
Best Practices for Using Your Golden Keys
Golden Keys generate high-tier gear scaled directly to your character's current level when the chest is opened. Because of this scaling, saving a few keys for higher levels or difficult boss encounters ensures you receive powerful purple-tier equipment when you need it most. Players can stay up-to-date with new promotional drops by following developer social channels regularly.
