Since its release back in September of 2019,Borderlands 3has released a substantial amount of additional content. From updates to full-length DLC campaigns to numerous online multiplayer events, mostBorderlands 3players tend to not be starved for new content. However, additional content can also be sporadically dictated by Gearbox Software itself.
Since the release ofBorderlands 2, SHiFT codes have played an important role during active gameplay. Every so often, Gearbox will release various SHiFT codes for players to redeem in-game as a way of accessing new loot with increased rarity. Although, the latest SHiFT code that Gearbox released via Twitter gives players something much more substantial.

Over on Twitter,Gearbox Softwareunveiled a new SHiFT code that gives players access to three Golden Keys. Players can use these keys in-game to unlock the Golden Chest on-board Sanctuary 3. The chest is guaranteed to give players weapons or items that are at least a purple rarity, which is one rarity level below the legendary weapons. Though, players should act fast, because this SHiFT code expires on May 6th.
Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox, is known to give out SHiFT codes to players quite frequently and SHiFT codes often appear in unexpected places as well. For instance, the very first teaser trailer forBorderlands 3had a SHiFT code hidden in the middle of it. It really goes to show how effective these SHiFT codes are in terms of allowing Gearbox to maintain an active connection with its community of players.
Borderlandshas certainly managed to make a tremendous comeback with the release ofBorderlands 3. The last mainline entry in theBorderlandsseries to release beforeBorderlands 3wasBorderlands: The Pre-Sequel,which released nearly five years before the release ofBorderlands 3. Though, for many players, the wait was certainly worth it considering how much content has been made available forBorderlands 3for players to enjoy.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds in terms ofBorderlands. It’s evident that Gearbox will not be running out ofSHiFT codes forBorderlands 3anytime soon, but it’s possible that there won’t be any additional story content for the game in terms of DLC campaigns. Fans of the game may have to wait for another mainline entry in the series for new story content, but in the meantime, they can certainly enjoy any SHiFT codes that come their way. It certainly beats having to grind out for new loot.
Borderlands 3is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
