Additionally, the developer shared a brand newBorderlands 3Shift Code, which players can redeem right now in order to obtain three free Golden Keys.

With theseBL3Golden Keys in hand, players should then head toSanctuary 3, the game’s central hub, and visit the Golden Chest that is located there. For fans that are not familiar with the exact location of the Golden Chest, a quick look at Sanctuary 3’s map should clear things up straightaway, as the cache is marked directly upon it.
To note, the loot that can be found inside of theBorderlands 3Golden Chest is always the same level as the Vault Hunter that opened it. As such, players may want to hold onto these new Golden Keys until the aforementioned level cap increase has gone live and they have reached thenew max level inBorderlands 3, which is 53.
Indeed, it has been confirmed that level 53 loot will be available inBorderlands 3moving forward, and the newBL3Shift Code is the perfect opportunity for players to pickup some of this more powerful gear as soon as they hit the new level cap. While there is indication that the jump from level 50 gear to level 53 gear will not be significant, fans that want theirBorderlands 3Vault Huntersto be as powerful as possible will still likely be interested in upgrading, and Golden Keys can certainly assist with that.
With respect to how players should go about hitting the newBL3level cap, participating in the aforementioned Broken Hearts Day event is definitely one way to do it. This seasonal event will offer rewards toBorderlands 3playersthat break the hearts of their enemies, but with Broken Hearts Day scheduled to last for only a single week, fans that want to partake will need to act quickly.
Borderlands 3is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
