How Shift Code Works

Head straight to the main menu and hit up Extra, then Shift Code. If you wanna slam those codes in quick, just copy and paste them into the spot where you’re supposed to type them in.

Now, about the cool stuff like skins, heads, and weapons you get from these codes, check it: as soon as you log into any of your characters, boom, all the loot you scored from those codes is chillin’ in your inventory.

Golden keys? Oh, those are your ticket to the Golden Chest in Sanctuary. That chest spits out nothing but epic gear and E-tech items, always matching your level.

FAQ & Tips

Where to get more SHIFT codes for Borderlands 2?

Finding working SHIFT codes might be challenging, thus we advise gamers to look on GearBox social media platforms, where they occasionally post working codes.

Check out these links:

Can I buy SHIFT codes?

No, you cannot buy them with real money.

How to Use Golden Keys in Borderlands 2?

You can receive a variety of rewards by using SHiFT codes, including golden keys, gear, skins, and more. Once you redeem these rewards, you receive them immediately. Among these rewards are Golden Keys.

The final step is the easiest and most enjoyable! Head over to Sanctuary. As illustrated in the screenshots below, the Golden Chest is located behind the Fast Travel station.

Why Are My SHiFT Codes Not Working?

There could be several reasons why your SHiFT Codes aren’t working. It’s possible that the codes have expired. There’s also a chance that there are typos or missing punctuation in the codes.

How to Duplicate Your Gear and Make Infinite Money in Borderlands

In Borderlands, the game’s always saving your stuff, like weapons and gear, as you go.

  • If you toss a weapon and bail from the game fast, you’ll still have that weapon when you jump back in.
  • So, here’s a slick trick: If you drop a weapon for your buddy to grab, and you peace out of the game super quick, the game won’t save that you gave it away. When you both come back, boom, you both got the weapon.

Before you try these moves, make sure your game just saved your loot and cash. You gotta do this in an online game with a pal, and you can’t be the one hosting.

How to Clone Weapons:

  • Drop the weapon for your friend to pick up.
  • As soon as they grab it, you quit the game.

How to Multiply Money:

  • Start a trade with your buddy. Works with weapons or cash.
  • Hand over all your money.
  • Once the trade is done, quickly exit the game.

What Happens Next:

  • Reload, and you’ll notice all your stuff and money are still there, like magic. Keep doing it and bam, you’re rolling in it. Infinite cash!

Read Only Farm Tips

Force an autosave when you want to farm for a specific Quest Rewards (Disabling and Re-enabling Badass ranks will force the game to save)

Once the game has saved, tab out of the game and navigate to:

  • C:\Users\Your_Name\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\Willowgame\SaveData

The final step is to rightclick your save file (Random numbers and if you have multiple saves, the one that was used most recently) and go to properties. After that you will need to look down at the “attributes” area and it will say “Read-Only”. All that is left to do is tick the box, click Apply and OK.

You can now tab back into the game and farm whatever Quest Reward/Enemies that you want without having to worry about overwriting progress.

(If you want the save to return to normal just go back to properties and untick the Read-Only box).

Overpowered Levels

Overpowered levels are gotten through completing the Raid on Digistruct Peak at max level (80 for PC, XB1/X/S, PS4/PS5 and Switch, 72 for old-gen consoles). Doing it once gets you up to Overpowered Level 1, aka OP1. Doing it again at OP1 gets you to OP2, and so on. To reach max level you need both UVHM upgrade packs, as well as the latest DLC; Fight For Sanctuary. Old-gen consoles lack FFS altogether meaning you can get OP levels regardless. Maximum OP level is 10, or 8 for the platforms lacking FFS.

OP levels function similarly to standard levels, except that they are obtained differently and don’t provide additional skill points or passive max health. For example, OP6 enemies/gear are at the same strength as what a lvl 86 enemy/item would be (78 for old-gen consoles). OP levels are generally only for extra challenge, as enemies start getting more and more damage reduction the higher you go, so there isn’t any real benefit to doing them on PCs and new-gen consoles.

On PC, PS4/PS5, XB1/X/S and the Switch you gain all the benefits from OP levels when you are level 80 as you would’ve at 72op8 as both count as being level 80. These benefits include higher Pearlescent chances from tubby enemies and the ability to fight OMGWTH, Digistruct Peak’s final boss at OP5 or higher. Defeating the boss grants you a guaranteed Gen1 pearlescent. On platforms where 72 is the max level, you need to be at op8 to get that guaranteed pearl.

  1. Why even put how Shift codes work? When gamers have been doing this for at least six months. My opinion is that this Gameplay thinks gamers are ignorant.

    • Are you 5 years old? You cant just classify everyone at the same level as you. When someone writes something they always include complete information. Everyone doesn’t know the same thing, they write for everyone, even those that don’t know, not just for you and what you know.

  2. i cant use anymore codes for pc already used some codes 36 times i guess im at my limit of golden keys for borderlands 2 pc
