      While at the Main Menu, click on: Extras > Shift Code

      You'll need to sign up for an account with Gearbox Software and then you can put in a code that will give you the golden key.

      Have fun!

      I can confirm the code works. It is NOT a Steam code. It is for "SHiFT", Gearbox's registration thingy. Go into BL2 game, go to Extras (from Main Menu) then "Shift code". From there you can create an account (sign up) after which enter the code above and you'll get the key.

    Also got a key for signing up :)

    Just a note: if your gear is already pretty good, you might as well save the key until you're a higher level (ideally level 50) so you get better loot from the chest.

    lostn on 29/09/2012 - 19:13

    Hmm. As someone who doesn't play Borderlands 2, I was confused as to what a Golden Key is. I thought it was a cd key to download the game and activate it (but golden some how). Sounded a bit too good to be true for a new game. Some context would have been nice.

      Considering the OP is posting a content code for people who already own this particular game, I don't see how it's unfair to expect people to know what a golden key does. Regardless, if you don't know you can search Google.

      Heck, do you expect everyone posting to explain what each thing they post is? If someone posts a special on a computer, they're expected to detail what a computer is and does?

      • -1 vote
        Moots on 29/09/2012 - 20:56

        Agreed. I have zero idea what this was for. I actually thought it was the official activation code to play the game.

      •  
        Smigit on 29/09/2012 - 22:29

        They'd probably expect the details on the specific computer being posted…

        They didn't ask him to explain what a video game is, but what the code actually does. That said, yes, it wouldn't be hard to google it either.

      "The Golden Key is a rare item which unlocks a golden chest in Sanctuary. This chest contains weapons of purple and pink (e-tech) rarity scaled to the level of the character at the time of opening. If a golden key is used it is gone forever. "

    1:44am and the win pc still works

    btw there is a way to get unlimited keys.
    save a profile.bin file and use your key. return the profile.bin file and you have your key back
    you could go and find a profile.bin that has the 250+ keys already and just keep putting it back in and what not
