Who says Borderlands, says loot. And who says loot, says SHiFT codes. These famous 25-character sesames are a tradition well known to fans of the saga, and in Borderlands 4, they have lost none of their usefulness. In exchange for a few clicks, these codes allow access to golden chests overflowing with epic weapons, or to unlock new appearances for Vault Hunters.
For this month of December 2025, several SHiFT codes are still valid, some for only a few days, others until 2030. You still need to know them, enter them correctly… and not let them expire.
The best SHiFT codes active in December 2025
Here is a selection of currently working codes. The most recent, added on December 3, allows you to obtain 3 golden keys:
- T9F33-TXW9J-5RTT5-3JTJJ-RR6R6 = 3 Golden Keys (expires December 9)
- T9RJB-BFKRR-3RBTW-B33TB-KCZB9 = 1 golden key (permanent code)
- JS63J-JSCWJ-CFTBW-3TJ3J-WJS5R = Pack Break Free (skins + legendary shield)
- 3S6BB-ZXT93-KRT3W-BT3T3-JW6TZ = “Gourd Your Loins” Head and “Hex Appeal” Weapon Skin
- J96JT-BCXKT-C6JJ5-JTJBB-BZTXJ = “Maliwannabee” Skin for Harlowe
Some of these codes can only be used once per SHiFT account. It is therefore essential to check the expiry date carefully and not to waste them unnecessarily.
How to use a SHiFT code in Borderlands 4?
Before you can activate a code, you must ensure that your SHiFT account is linked to the gaming platform used (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, etc.). This can be done:
- From the main menu or the game pause menu (SHiFT tab)
- Or via the official Gearbox website: https://shift.gearboxsoftware.com
Once the accounts are linked, enter the code in the Rewards section. No need to enter the dashes, the game adds them automatically. If the code is valid, the reward will appear in the reward history, ready to be collected from the Golden Chest in any city in the game.
Exclusive skins not to be missed
Borderlands 4 doesn’t just offer loot: many SHiFT codes also allow you to customize your heroes with rare outfits. The “Mass Market Appeal” skin for Vex, “Cult Classic” for Amon, or even “Savings Savior” for Rafa are available until December 31, 2030. Ideal for sprucing up your style without spending a cent.
Cosmetic items obtained through these codes do not provide any gameplay advantage, but reinforce the identity of each character. For fans of roleplaying or collecting, this is a godsend not to be overlooked.
Free rewards at your fingertips
The interest of these codes lies in their generosity. In a few minutes, you can unlock powerful weapons, rare shields or something to revamp your entire squad. And as Gearbox regularly publishes new codes on its social networks, it is better to keep this page as a favorite and come back to check it often.
Whether you’re a veteran or new to Kairos, a good SHiFT code can make all the difference on your next outing in the Wilderness. The loot awaits — it’s up to you to claim it.
