One of the things that separates Borderlands games from most looter shooters is the “Shift” program. Shift is a separate account/program that Gearbox uses to give out free rewards via codes they give out. These codes are usually found on Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox’s Twitter/X account. I do recommend making an account and following him there for the codes, or simply viewing the Shift Codes megathread on the Borderlands 4 subreddit here to get the codes exactly when they drop.
While we at Lords of Gaming will do our best to update this article with the codes as they drop. They will usually come in individual 25-digit codes that usually give one Golden Key for the Golden Chest at every location’s player hub, which expire within 2 days.
However, since launch, there have been a few unique Shift Codes to give you unique cosmetics. Here are the current working Shift Codes in Borderlands 4.
Current Working Cosmetic Shift Codes for Borderlands 4
The first one is for the “Break Free” pack. This will include skins for each Vault Hunter, 2 Echo-4 drone skins, and a Legendary Shield (do not use this code until you are level 50 for the best use of the shield):
JS63J-JSCWJ-CFTBW-3TJ3J-WJS5R
The next is for an exclusive Rafa “Savings Savior” skin (this expires by the end of the decade, just in case you needed a deadline):
TZXT3-XJXCB-CXBJW-BTTJT-9SK6B
The latest is for an exclusive Amon “Cult Classic” skin, which also expires at the end of the decade:

A new code for Vex’s “Death 4 All” skin is now available, which also expires at the end of the decade (no hurry!):
