Borderlands 4 updates

Six codes entered the active SHiFT snapshot at the October 2 source check:

• A 3-Golden-Key code posted by Randy Pitchford on September 30 (X post, cited by Game Rant) that expires October 6.
• The cross-game CSKJJ Golden Key code. Sources disagree on the BL4 reward: MentalMars and UrGameTips list 5 Golden Keys, GamesRadar lists 2 for BL4 plus 5 in the older Borderlands games. The split is preserved in the reward field rather than flattened.
• WZ53T, listed for 2 Golden Keys (plus keys in the older games).
• BZR3T, a 3-Golden-Key drop originally posted July 29 and still listed at the October check.
• 3SX3J, the Loveless “Mint Chipset” Vault Hunter skin (MentalMars ties it to the Tough Love Challenge).
• 3ZXJB, the “Children of the Vex” Vault Hunter skin.

Aggregator-listed codes needed two independent lists to agree before entering the table. These are public-source listings, not in-game redemptions by this site; unlisted-expiry codes can still be withdrawn by Gearbox.

This is an archive backfill on our SHiFT snapshot, not a same-day change in the game. Eight short Golden Key drops, posted between mid-July and late September and already expired, were added to the expired section at the October 2 check so the archive is complete:

• BHFBJ, posted September 24, expired September 29.
• BH6TT, posted September 17, expired September 22.
• T963B, posted September 10, expired September 15.
• BZXJB, posted September 6, expired September 8.
• 39XJ3, posted August 27, expired September 1.
• THFB3-SW99B, posted August 7, expired August 31.
• J9X3J, posted August 14, expired August 18.
• JHX3B, posted after the July 15 snapshot, expired July 21 (post date unlisted by sources).

All eight carry their historical expiry dates from the GamesRadar and MentalMars expired lists; none is claimed to have been redeemed by this site.

This is a source-status change on our SHiFT snapshot, not a same-day change in the game. WH5TB, a 5-Golden-Key code posted March 26, was moved to the expired archive at the October 2 check:

• GamesRadar, MentalMars and UrGameTips all dropped it from their current lists.
• Game8 lists an April 29 expiry for it.
• The only current-looking page still carrying it was PC Gamer’s July 24 list, which predates the drops above.

Archived codes stay on the expired list so players do not waste time retrying limited drops after their listed expiry.

The official update notes for the September 17, 2026 weekly update state: “Unlocked Vault Hunter Heads and Skins are now available for Loveless the Hacker* with Shared Progression turned on.”

What this means in practice:

• Heads and skins you have already unlocked on other Vault Hunters become usable on Loveless while Shared Progression is enabled.
• It does not grant cosmetics you have not unlocked, and it is not tied to any redemption key.
• It is separate from the Loveless “Mint Chipset” SHiFT code that arrived in late September, which is a code-based cosmetic and is listed on the SHiFT snapshot instead.

Version 1.10 is the largest Borderlands 4 update so far. The official update notes and the 2K announcement cover:

• A level cap increase of 10 levels for all players; 2K’s and Steam’s official announcements put the new cap at 70.
• The new DLC Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker - see our Loveless builds page.
• Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort, set in the island region of Providence - details and pricing on the DLC roadmap.
• Bounty Pack 5: Amara and the Vile Shadows, plus Vault Card 5.
• Skill, gear and UI changes listed entry-by-entry in the official notes linked above.
