Once a code is expired, it’s unlikely to return, so always aim to redeem codes shortly after release.

🛠️ How to Redeem Shift Codes (Step-by-Step)

You have two main routes: in-game or via Gearbox’s Shift site.

In-Game Redemption

Launch Borderlands 4.
Go to the menu and open the Rewards / Shift tab.
Select “Redeem Code,” then type the full 25-character code (including hyphens).
Hit Check and wait for confirmation.
If successful, you’ll see the reward added to your account (e.g. Golden Keys).

Website Method

Visit Gearbox’s official Shift portal and log in (or register if you don’t have an account).
Under Gaming Platforms, link your storefront (Steam, Epic, Xbox, etc.).
Go to the Rewards section and enter the 25-character code.
Click Check and confirm.
Once redeemed, open Borderlands 4 with the same linked account to claim the reward.

Tip: Redeem as soon as possible — once a code expires or reaches its usage ceiling, it becomes unusable.

🎁 How to Get the Hazard Pay Weapon Skin (Bonus Reward)

There’s a trick to unlocking a special skin — the Hazard Pay weapon skin — via your Shift account:

If you already have a Shift account, log in and look for a blue banner in the account section offering the Hazard Pay skin.
If not, register for a free account, then go to Profile → User Preferences. Check “I would like to receive news and promotional messages from 2K and its affiliates.”
After updating preferences, the Hazard Pay banner should appear.
Ensure you link your in-game platform (Steam / Epic / Xbox) under Gaming Platforms for eligibility.
Finally, play Borderlands 4 with your Shift-linked account to trigger the delivery of the skin via email and in-game redemption.

Don’t expect the skin to show up instantly — sometimes it takes a few hours or reloads.

📢 Best Sources for New Shift Codes

If you want to stay ahead and never miss a code drop, monitor:

Gearbox’s official newsletter — often a primary channel for distributing exclusive codes.
Official Borderlands and Gearbox accounts on X (formerly Twitter) — founders or studio accounts sometimes drop surprises.
Community leaks and fan hubs — forums, Reddit, Discord sometimes pick up code previews.
Game trailers, art reveals, livestreams — occasionally codes are embedded in visuals.

Also, keep your ears open for limited promotions (like Discord campaigns) that may reward a one-time code.

💡 Smart Tips for Shift Code Use

Don’t share codes you haven’t used. Some codes are single-use or limited quota — the first person to redeem gets the loot.
Set a reminder. Because many codes expire within days, add a quick “Redeem Shift Code” reminder whenever a new batch drops.
Check your Golden Key count. These keys open special chests located in Belton’s Bore, The Launchpad, Carcadia, or The Lockaway. Use them wisely, aiming for late-game zones where loot tier is higher.
Recheck your inventory currency menu. That’s where Borderlands 4 displays how many Golden Keys you own.
Link accounts early. If you play across platforms, link them ASAP so you don’t miss rewards tied to your Shift ID.

✅ Final Thought

Shift codes are a small but meaningful way for Gearbox to reward loyal players of Borderlands 4. Redeem quickly, follow official channels, and keep your eyes peeled — there’s always a chance for a rare cosmetic or extra key to slip through. Enjoy the loot hunt, and may your chests yield legendary drops!
