Why You Need SHiFT Codes in Borderlands 4
Exploring Kairos in Borderlands 4 is no small task—especially when you’re up against the Timekeeper. You’ll need more than just grit and bullets. That’s where SHiFT codes come in.

Pro Tip: When to Use Golden Keys
Golden Keys aren’t just shiny collectibles—they’re a gateway to high-tier loot. But here’s the strategy:
- Don’t use them early. Wait until you hit endgame content or the level cap.
- Loot from the Golden Chest scales with your character’s level and difficulty setting
- Best used when you need to gear up quickly for tougher challenges or to farm endgame legendaries
