How to use Shift Codes in Borderlands 3
To use Shift Codes in Borderlands 3 you’re going to need to launch the game and then make your way over to the Social option in the menu. This will bring up a list of options including matchmaking, as well as the game’s mail system (which is where you’ll receive all kinds of mail from various manufacturers in the Borderlands 3 universe).
To activate Shift Codes, select the tab marked with the big S. This will open up a Shift Code entry screen where you can enter in your various Shift Codes to unlock new rewards and items. You can enter in any number of Shift Codes that you’d like, so long as they are actually viable Shift Codes that have been given out and shared with the community. If your Shift Code isn’t active at the time, then the game will tell you so.
You can also use Shift Codes on the official Shift website, where you’ll also be able to see all the rewards that you’ve opened up across past games as well.
