Although we are still a couple of months away from the Borderlands 3 release date, you can start finding and activating Borderlands 3 VIP codes right now. Just as in Borderlands 2, there are plenty of Borderlands 3 Shift codes to find and use, in order to bag yourself some neat in-game and out-of-game rewards. In total, there appear to be six types of Borderlands 3 VIP codes: Borderlands 3 Shift codes, Borderlands 3 Vault codes, Borderlands 3 Diamond codes, Borderlands 3 Email codes, Borderlands 3 Creator codes, and Borderlands 3 Boost codes. In this guide, we’ll let you know how to find and use each of the six types of Borderlands 3 VIP codes, and what Borderlands 3 VIP codes rewards you can bag ahead of, and after, the game’s September 13 release.
Borderlands 3 VIP Codes | Shift codes
These sometimes hard-to-pin-down codes will bag you nifty rewards once you activate them. Before you start scouring the internet for active Shift codes, however, you will first need to sign up to the Vault Insider Program. You’ll have to create a Shift account first, mind, if you haven’t got one already. You can sign up for a Shift account and to the Vault Insider Program right here. Once you have created the two accounts, you’re good to go.
Before Borderlands 3 has released, you can already earn points from Shift (and five other types of codes) that you can spend on rewards. Some are in-game (such as Gold Keys and new gear), whereas some will be out-of-game, including the likes of desktop and mobile wallpapers. Shift codes work just as they did in Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel. You will need to find them to activate them. Doing so will earn you points and/or Gold Keys that you can spend on rewards. The VIP Season 1 rewards can be found here. You’ll activate your points via the VIP website, which we linked to above. Head to the five code activation portals once logged in, which can be found when you hover over the “SHiFT” dropdown menu within “Redeem Code.”
Gearbox releases Shift codes in a variety of different places, but your best bet will be to follow the company’s official social media accounts and other sources. Check out the list below and be sure to bookmark/follow them all:
- @dgShiftCodes
- @GearboxOfficial
- @Borderlands
- Gearbox official Facebook page
- Borderlands Shift codes Facebook page

- Borderlands 3 Reddit
- Holy_Jumper’s Reddit thread of codes

Borderlands 3 VIP Codes | Vault codes
Vault codes are a new phenomenon when it comes to Borderlands 3 VIP codes. These will likely be the most fruitful when it comes to availability. Once you have found a VIP Vault code, you will need to login to your VIP account and head to redeem codes. Simply copy and paste the code into the website and your account will be awarded a number of points. There are already a load of working Vault codes out there, so keeping track may prove difficult. Head to the places linked to above to keep track of it all, however, particularly @dgShiftCodes on Twitter.
Another good resource that you should definitely keep an eye on is the Borderlands 3 Discord channel, as well as its Reddit. Eagle-eyed fans should keep you updated on both. Holy_Jumper’s Reddit thread of VIP codes should definitely be bookmarked, too. Hopefully, this will be updated along with MarcianTobay’s Google sheet of codes.

Borderlands 3 VIP Codes | Diamond codes
The Borderlands 3 VIP website allows you to enter in Diamond codes in order to pick up more points. Unfortunately, there don’t appear to be any in the wild as of writing. Again, make sure you keep up to date with everything via the resources all linked to above. Our best guess is that Diamond codes will be released as part of individual in-game events and the like. We’ll update this post with more information as soon as it becomes available.
Borderlands 3 VIP Codes | Email codes
If you sign up for the Borderlands 3 newsletter, unlock VIP rewards, or whatever else to do with the Borderlands 3 VIP website, you should hopefully receive email codes that you can use. Just as with every other code up to this point, you can only activate each of these codes once on any one VIP account. Luckily, however, if you don’t receive the email codes through received emails, you can still activate others. You can find a whole lot of them thanks to any of the above-linked resources. Again, dgShiftCodes on Twitter will likely prove to be your best friend here.
A list of currently available email VIP codes can be found below. Remember, you will need to activate them via the “Redeem an Email Code” section of the VIP website (the five code activation portals can be found when you hover over the “SHiFT” dropdown menu within “Redeem Code”):
- BL3ATE3 | 250 points
- BL3REVEAL | 100 points

Borderlands 3 VIP Codes | Creator codes
At long last, we’re onto Creator codes. These Borderlands 3 VIP codes are a little more complicated to use. The current batch of available Creator codes have come from E3 2019 and might not last too long. What’s more, you can only activate four of them. We imagine that Creator codes will be given out during events such as E3. Look out for your favorite Borderlands 3 streamers, though, and you may see some given away. Again, check out the list of resources we’ve linked to above to discover Creator codes.
The list of currently available Creator codes is as follows, all of which are worth 200 points each:
- AdmiralBahrooE3
- Dammit2HellE3
- EdEMonsterE3
- GronkhE3
- Joltzdude139E3
- Ki11ersixE3
- KingGothalionE3
- MitsuShowE3
- PietSmietE3
- ProfessorBromanE3
- TessachkaE3
These Creator codes are each worth a different amount of points:
- CURE4KIDS | 500 points
- COHHVIP | 250 points
- BL3MUSEUMCOSPLAY | 500 points
- HALVERHAHN | 500 points
- GREGORANKH | 250 points
Borderlands 3 VIP Codes | Boost codes
Finally, we have Boost codes. Boost codes can be used just the once. There is a limit of one redemption per user per lifetime. As you’d expect, for something with rules as strict as this, any Boost code you input should grant you with a massive number of points. Unfortunately, we’re not entirely sure how you can get hold of Boost codes. We do recommend, however, that you keep an eye on @dgShiftCodes, as that account does Boost code giveaways. We’ll let you know if we come across any Boost codes, too.
