SHIFT CODES FOR BORDERLANDS 2 RUNNING IN 2021

Send

When Gearbox released Borderlands 2 in 2012, it had a new idea: "SHiFT codes" that players could find on the Borderlands forums and social media and bring them into the game.

To unlock rare weapons and cosmetics. Shift codes are of two main types:

Golden Keys open a special box in Sanctuary City. This box is guaranteed to contain an item of purple rarity. In a game with billions of randomly generated guns, it was a tempting way to skip the RNG and get some great weapons.

Special Skins are unique skins and heads for each Borderlands 2 character that can only be unlocked with Shift codes.

Borderlands 2 is still heavily marketed on Steam today, and even now that the sequel is out, there are Golden Key Shift codes appearing from time to time. Check out our new Borderlands 3 Shift Codes Guide for the chance to unlock codes in a brand new shooter.

If you're playing Borderlands 2, these codes will help you get your hands on rare weapons and cool skins. Below we've rounded up tons of Borderlands 2 Shift codes that will unlock skins or large piles of keys.

How do I use Borderlands 2 SHiFT codes?

For years, you could use Shift codes on Shift.GearboxSoftware.com, but Gearbox recently removed this feature. This means that in order to use the codes, you need to go to Borderlands 2 and do a little redirect.

In-game: In Borderlands 2, go to Main Menu> Add-ons> Shift Code. Once you find yourself in this menu, you will see a list of previously used Shift codes. Click the Shift Code button at the bottom of this window and then paste the 25-digit Shift code. Ready!
