WHAT ARE SHIFT CODES?

Shift codes are Gearbox's way to give players various itemsand rewards in-game. Usually the codes are only valid for alimited time and must be redeemed on the official websiteor in-game before they expire.Most shift codes grant golden keys, which unlock a specialchest in Sanctuary full of loot items. Sometimes shift codescan grant exclusive items, skins and ledgendary weapons. These items may go straight to your inventory or be found inyour in-game mail, under the 'social' tab.

1) Never miss another shift code.Our notification service will let you know whenever a newBorderlands 3 shift code code comes out.

2) Save your time.We provide a platform to easily manage, keep track of andredeem shift codes. No more typing, no more searching, no more entering outdated codes that have expired or already been used.

3) Convienience.With this app you have all the valid Borderlands 3codes in one place, at your fingertips. All codes aresorted in date order, colour coded with a live countdownuntil they expire.Expired codes and codes you markas 'used' can easily be hidden.

1) Just tap the code you want to redeem.On the pop-up tap the button to 'Redeem this code'.This copies the code and takes you to the official website.

2) If you do not have a shift account you will need toregister with Shift and log in. Once you have done thisyou can automatically log in the next time.

3) Once logged into the official website and see where it'sprompting you for a shift code, press and hold the inputfield to 'paste' your code and redeem.

4) If your code fails to redeem it is likely that you havealready redeemed it. All of our codes are tested andverified to work before posting. Take note of the errormessage that you see on the official website and check thesection on error messages below to see what it means.

PREVIOUSLY REDEEMED CODES

If you have already redeemed codes by other means,this app has no way of knowing about it.Those codes may still show that they are valid (green) until you mark them as used or try and redeem them again. If you try and redeem these codes again, it will fail because shift codes can only be redeemed once but they will become marked as used.

ERROR MESSAGES ON THE SHIFT WEBSITE

"Failed to redeem your SHiFT code" - Already redeemed.

"This is not a valid SHiFT code" - The code is incorrect.

"This SHiFT code has expired" - The code has expired.

POINTS TO NOTE

- Codes redeemed from the app are automaticallymarked as 'used'. Codes redeemed outside the app aren't.

- You can mark codes 'used' or 'unused' at any time. Just tap the code and tap the relevant button.

- Expired and used codes can be hidden with the switches at the top right.

- Expiry dates are approximate and based on the information published when the codes were released but there's no guarantee exactly when the code will stop working.

RECOMENDED USE

If you don't know which shift codes you have alreadyredeemed outside of the app you can simply try andredeem them all again. The ones you have alreadyredeemed will fail to redeem again but they willthen all be marked as 'used' and can be easilyhidden afterwards. As soon as new codes are added we will send youa notification to let you know. As the codes arein date order the new shift code will appear atthe top of the list.Follow the steps above to redeem.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Why do none of the codes work?
A. Check the error message and the 'Error messages onthe shift website' section. It's likely you have already redeemed the codes.

Q. Why haven't you published some of the codes that havebeen on Facebook, Twitter etc?
A. We only publish valid codes for Borderlands 3 that havebeen tested and verified to work. If we haven't publishedit then it's either not for Borderlands 3 or we haven'tverified it works. Frequently codes for other Borderlandsgames are posted on social media and misidentified as Borderlands 3 codes. You can still redeem them with thesame shift account sucessfully and it's easy to assumeyou've got a valid code but it wont show up in Borderlands 3.

Q. When is the next code coming out?
A. We have no idea but when it does, we'll find it andsend you a notification.

Q. How frequently are the codes updated?
A. We are always checking for new codes 24-7. As soon aswe find a new code we test and verify it straight away.We then send out notifications, alerting all of our appusers usually within minutes depending on networkconditions.
