Borderlands Players Have Cracked The Code For The "Most Valuable" Shift Key Ever Made

As a seasoned Borderlands veteran with countless hours spent blasting through Pandora, I can say that this recent discovery is nothing short of extraordinary. The community-led deciphering of the PAX West convention card has not only proven to be an engaging treasure hunt but has also provided us with an unparalleled Shift code.

Players of Borderlands aren’t new to deciphering codes and uncovering hidden details within the game series, but the latest investigation by the community has proven to be exceptionally rewarding. A seemingly ordinary card distributed at PAX West convention has led Borderlands enthusiasts to discover what might just be the best Shift code ever found, all thanks to a firm understanding of binary language

The card under discussion (as reported by GamesRadar) had a D20 die at its core, with a subtle pattern on either side of the tabletop icon. Randy Pitchford, head of Gearbox, posted a picture of this card on Twitter/X, suggesting that it might hold a secret hidden within its layout. Eventually, user @40_BaySt shared their discoveries about the card’s mystery online

I apologize for missing the PAX event today as I simply didn’t have the energy. I was concerned about potentially causing any issues by attending, so I decided to stay away. By the way, for those who were present, did you keep the dice cards? We concealed a secret code within them!

The card held a binary sequence, which, upon complete decoding, unveiled a Shift key that could be utilized to access 50 weapons across multiple Borderlands games, including Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Additionally, players of Borderlands 3 can employ this key to acquire 10 diamond keys

It appears my wife has deciphered the pattern: The upward-pointing triangles represent ‘1’ and the downward-pointing ones stand for ‘0’. There are a total of 29 sets, with each set consisting of eight digits. After converting these binary numbers to decimal and then ASCII, the result is SXFBT-39953-J33TT-3T333-KSHW6

In case you’re not aware, Shift keys (not the physical buttons) serve a purpose in the Borderlands games. They can open a golden chest, which is strategically placed within these games. Once opened, this chest reveals powerful weapons, shields, grenades, and character enhancements. The items inside scale with your character’s level, making them particularly valuable additions to your inventory. Essentially, utilizing the Shift keys can significantly boost your in-game loot, especially some of the finest gear the game has to offer

In Borderlands 3, players find that ultra-rare diamond keys unlock an entire room filled with treasures. However, it’s important to note that you can only grab a single item from each wall, and there’s also a time constraint in effect. This particular Shift key is considered the most valuable one by Pitchford

In other updates regarding Borderlands, the much-anticipated Borderlands 4 was officially unveiled at Gamescom last month. Since then, Gearbox Software has remained tight-lipped about the game, but hints suggest that it will introduce a villain even more menacing than Handsome Jack. Additionally, some concept art has given us a peek at one of the new planets we can expect in the game. Currently slated for release in 2025, Borderlands 4 is expected to be playable on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and both Steam and the Epic Games Store for PC users
