All Borderlands 4 SHiFT Codes & Rewards List (November 2025)

What are SHiFT codes in Borderlands 4? SHiFT Codes are special alphanumeric promo codes given out by Gearbox and Borderlands official accounts. When you redeem these codes in Borderlands 4, they reward you with in-game goodies like Golden Keys, skins, and sometimes even Legendary weapons. These codes can be used by many players but usually expire after some time. Golden Keys earned from SHiFT Codes open Golden Chests at key locations in the game (such as The Launchpad, Carcadia, Belton’s Bore, and The Lockaway), which contain rare and powerful loot.

How to Redeem SHiFT Codes in Borderlands 4?

Step 1: Create and Link a SHiFT Account

First, go to the official SHiFT website to create a free SHiFT account. You can sign up using your email or log in with your Steam, Xbox Live, or PlayStation Network account. After signing up, check your email and confirm your registration by clicking the confirmation link. 

Next, link your SHiFT account to the platform where you play Borderlands 4, such as Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation. This ensures your rewards are correctly credited to your game account.

Step 2: Redeem Codes Online or In-Game

To redeem SHiFT codes online, log into your SHiFT account on the official SHiFT website. Navigate to the Rewards tab, enter your SHiFT code into the provided box, select your gaming platform, and then click Redeem to claim your rewards.

Alternatively, you can redeem SHiFT codes directly in Borderlands 4. Launch the game, open the Pause Menu, and select the SHiFT tab. From there, go to the Rewards section, enter your SHiFT code, and press Redeem. Your rewards will be delivered to your inventory or as Golden Keys.

Troubleshooting:

If your reward does not appear immediately, wait a few minutes due to possible server delays.

Why Are Borderlands 4 Shift Codes Not Working?

1. Server or System Delay Causing Error Messages

Sometimes, when redeeming a SHiFT code on the website, you may see an error like "Failed to redeem your SHiFT code," but the reward will still arrive eventually. This is usually due to server processing delays.

2. Game Not Restarted or Not Connected to Online Servers

If you redeem a code while in-game, you often need to restart the game to see your rewards. Additionally, some platforms require you to be connected online (e.g., PSN on PlayStation) for Golden Keys to work properly.

3. Platform Membership Requirements (e.g., PS Plus)

On PlayStation, you must have an active PS Plus subscription to redeem and use Golden Keys. Without it, the game may show messages like "transaction processing" or "transaction canceled" while still deducting keys.

4. Account Linking Issues

Your SHiFT account must be properly linked to your 2K account and your gaming platform account (Steam, PSN, Xbox, etc.). Missing or incomplete account linking is a common reason for redemption failures. Also, there may be a delay before the linkage fully syncs.

5. Reward and Redemption History Desynchronization

Sometimes the redeemed codes show as used on the website but don’t appear in your in-game inventory due to data sync problems. Redeeming codes in-game manually or waiting for some time often resolves this.

6. Incorrect Error Messages Despite Redeemed Codes

The system may say a code has already been redeemed even when rewards haven't appeared. This is usually a backend sync issue. Trying alternative redemption methods or contacting support can help.

7. Network Connectivity Issues

Poor or disconnected internet connections during redemption can cause failures or prevent rewards from appearing. Ensuring stable and active connection is essential.

Can I Get Legendary Items from SHiFT Codes?

While SHiFT Codes primarily give you Golden Keys, which open Golden Chests containing random loot, including Borderlands 4 Legendary Weapons and Gear, the codes themselves do not directly grant Legendary items. Instead, the Golden Keys you earn let you open chests that have a chance to drop Legendary gear. Saving and using these keys at the right time (like endgame or hardest difficulty) increases your chance of getting high-level Legendary items. Some SHiFT Codes also reward cosmetic skins rather than weapons or keys.
