How To Get Unlimited Golden Keys In Borderlands 3 One of the most exciting features of Borderlands 3 for many players will be acquiring new and strong gear to their inventory. Borderlands 3 Shift Codes used to gain Golden Keys, which is one of several methods to earn treasure in Gearbox Software’s highly anticipated new shooter. There aren’t many BL3 Shift Codes available right now, as most of Gearbox’s codes were only available for a limited period, and only a few are still valid as of this writing.
This is where the information in this guide comes in. Players will be able to gain endless Golden Keys and as much powerful stuff as they like thanks to the Borderlands 3 glitch described here. It will also go through the codes that are currently accessible for people who would rather not use bugs to get their Golden Keys.
To be clear, the Borderlands 3 exploit described in this article tested on a PS4 version of the game and requires the use of a USB storage device to work. On the other hand, if gamers know where to find the USB storage/user settings on their Xbox One and PC, a similar method should provide the same results.
With so many stuff to collect in the game—more being released all the time—impossible it’s to have too many Golden Keys to gain riches. As a result, it felt like a good opportunity to reread and expand on this helpful guide for Borderlands 3’s golden keys cheat/exploit.

In Borderlands 3, what are Golden Keys?
Golden Keys a prized sort of key obtained by Shift Codes that only used to enter a unique box in Sanctuary’s higher level. Specifically, the chest is located across from the Fast Travel Station. It’s a gleaming gold chest with a skull emblem on it. When you use a key to open the chest, you’ll get some random loot, usually in the shape of powerful new weapons.
These are basically free treasure boxes that produce random prizes. The catch is that the codes used to obtain them usually have a very short time limit before they expire; in many cases, it is only 24 hours. Fortunately, fans may get these temporary codes on a very regular basis in a variety of ways, the most common of which is to follow Randy Pitchford on Twitter.
In Borderlands 3, how do you enter shift codes?
Players will need to enter the 25-digit Shift Codes they have in order to obtain Golden Keys. Create an account and enter the code at shift.gearboxsoftware.com, either directly in the browser or from the game menu’s social tab, followed by the Shift Code tab.
Once this done, users should go back to the social page and look at the mail area, where they will see a notice asking them to redeem the contents of the mail. Following that, the key will appear in the player’s inventory.
A few things to keep in mind when it comes to Shift Codes and Golden Keys:
- While players can keep using new Shift Codes, only a limited amount of codes are available at one time, and each Golden Key used only once.
- It’s recommended to at a higher level (around 40) when using this chest, as the loot scale up to a higher level.
- With that said, the items from the Golden Chest will always be in the form of Uncommon rarity of higher, and will be at the current level of the player.
- Codes in Borderlands 2 as well as The Pre-Sequel used in those games in a similar fashion, but cannot transferred over or used in BL3.Current Available Shift Codes
As previously stated, Gearbox distributes a variety of codes, many of which have time limits and expiration dates. However, there are a number of codes in place that intended to be permanent. The following are the details:
- ZFKJ3-TT3BB-JTBJT-T3JJT-JWX9H – 3 Golden Keys

Borderlands 3: How To Do The Infinite Golden Key Glitch
While there numerous ways to obtain Golden Keys, many people find it quicker and more convenient to have an unlimited supply of keys that loaded at any moment. Continue reading to learn how to carry out this clever hack:
- The Borderlands 3 unlimited Golden Key glitch begins by navigating to the Social tab through the game’s main menu. From here, players should access the Shift Code tab and submit a BL3 Shift Code in the designated space as usual.
- The first three codes listed above simply entered to make this work.
- Now, players can open their Borderlands 3 mailbox and redeem five BL3 Golden Keys.
- The bottom right of the screen should show a key icon with the number “5” to indicate the five keys are in the player’s possession.

- With the Golden Keys collected, players will now need to make a backup save.
- This process is similar to the one used for duping weapons in Borderlands 3, and it begins by quitting the game and closing the application.
- Players should then navigate to Settings -> Application Saved Data Management -> Saved Data in System Storage -> Copy to USB Storage Device. As one might have suspected, this will copy the data containing the Golden Keys onto the device.
- This allows the USB device continually loaded, providing an infinite supply of Golden Keys.
- Be sure to have a USB device loaded into the console with some free space.
- Make sure that only “user settings” copied, not “character save.”
- Players can once again load up their characters and use their five BL3 Golden Keys to open up the chest in Sanctuary five times.
- As mentioned, this will yield powerful gear that scales with a player’s level, including Borderlands 3 legendary weapons, and it also exhausts the stash of Golden Keys.
- At this point, players should once again quit the game and close the application. Now, navigate Settings -> Application Saved Data Management -> Saved Data on USB Storage Device -> Copy to System Storage.Then copy the backup of the User Settings that previously created back to System Storage, which contains the five Golden Keys.
- Again, keep in mind these steps involve the menus of the PS4 version, but the Xbox One and PC have similar menus that allow for this exploit if the folders located and the data copied/transferred in a similar fashion.
- Players can now load their character again. Once the game loaded, five more keys should loaded into the game, which used to open the chest five more times and produce new, additional loot.
- This process repeated endlessly, so long as a player is able to maintain their patience with the loading screens that they will have to sit through to execute this exploit.
Other Ways To Obtain Loads Of Great Loot
- For those that prefer not to use a BL3 exploit to earn their Golden Keys, using the various Borderlands 3 VIP codes is another way to produce an ample supply of them.
- Playing through Mayhem Mode also yields larger quantities of better loot.
- Farming bosses and tougher enemies is a great way to get many opportunities for great loot.
