Borderlands 4 Fans Can Get a Free Weapon Skin and Golden Keys

To get your hands on the Hazard Pay weapon skin, you’ll need to sign up for 2K’s newsletter with your SHiFT account. It’s pretty straightforward:

1. Head over to shift.gearboxsoftware.com and log in or create an account.
2. Go to your profile settings and opt into the newsletter.
3. When Borderlands 4 launches, log in with your SHiFT account to unlock the skin.

Golden Keys might also be part of the deal, delivered through SHiFT codes sent to your email. You can redeem those in-game for rare loot. The promotion runs until December 31, 2030, according to Gamerant, so you’ve got plenty of time to sign up.

What You Get Out of It

The Hazard Pay weapon skin is just for looks—it won’t change how your gun works, but it’ll make it stand out. Golden Keys, though, are a bigger deal. They let you open special chests in the game for high-quality loot. Gearbox’s support page explains that these keys are tied to SHiFT codes and events like this one. There’s some uncertainty about whether you’ll get the keys right away or later via email, but either way, it’s a nice perk.

Why This Is a Big Deal for Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 promises new Vault Hunters, wild weapons, and a whole new planet to explore. You can read more about it on the official Borderlands 4 page. Promotions like this one get players excited and give you a little edge when the game drops. It’s a smart move by 2K and Gearbox to keep the community engaged, similar to what they’ve done before.
