Borderlands 3developer Gearbox has an odd way of rewarding their players with unique items and weapons. Every so often, they’ll dropShift Codesthat are redeemable in-game for Golden Keys, cosmetics, or weapons. Cosmetics are often unlocked right when you enter the code, as well as weapons tied to special events. However, when the Shift Code nets you a Golden Key, things work a little differently.
