Borderlands 3 shift codes are usually used to get Golden Keys to open the Sanctuary III chest for some free high-tier loot. However, 2K Games and Gearbox Software are doing something a little different with Borderlands 3 shift codes for the holiday season, releasing new shift codes that offer new cosmetics, items, and more. The first free “Gifts of Mayhem” gift is a Christmas-themed ECHO skin that players can get in the game right now.
The Borderlands 3 Christmas ECHO skin has a candy cane pattern on the front of it, though the Borderlands 3 Twitter account leaves it ambiguous as to whether the red stripes are peppermint or blood. Those who want to get their hands on the Borderlands 3 Christmas ECHO skin can do so by redeeming the new shift code in-game, on the Gearbox Software website, or the official Borderlands website.
Here is the Borderlands 3 Christmas ECHO skin shift code: W9WTT-FSFTZ-5WRZR-63BB3-WK6WT. Unlike many of the Borderlands 3 fast-expiring shift codes that have been released for the game since launch, fans of the looter-shooter have until January 10, 2020 at 11:59pm PST to redeem this one.
Getting guaranteed items from Borderlands 3 shift codes will definitely be preferable to some players. However, others may prefer the surprise factor of not knowing what exactly they’re going to get from the Sanctuary III chest. Of course, it’s rare for players to get something all that worthwhile from the chest, and it’s typically much more efficient for Borderlands 3 fans to instead farm loot from bosses.
There should be plenty of new bosses and loot for Borderlands 3 players sooner rather than later. That’s because the first Borderlands 3 story DLC is set to release on December 19 in the form of Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot. In this DLC, Borderlands 3 players will be able to explore a brand new casino location, as well as once again have an encounter with the villainous Handsome Jack, albeit in digital form.
While they wait for the first Borderlands 3 story DLC and the return of Handsome Jack, fans can look forward to more Borderlands 3 shift codes released as part of the Gifts of Mayhem event. There will be eight gifts released in total, so fans can redeem new Borderlands 3 shift codes until next Friday, December 20.
Borderlands 3 is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
