Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford usually kicks off the weekends by releasing a new Borderlands 3 shift code so fans can get their hands on a free Golden Key, and this weekend is no different. Pitchford has tweeted out a new Borderlands 3 shift code, with fans having less than 24 hours to redeem it.

The new Borderlands 3 shift code expires on Saturday, December 7 at 10am CST. It will likely be replaced by a new Borderlands 3 shift code shortly after it expires, so fans who happen to miss out on redeeming this code shouldn't worry. It should be noted that this new Borderlands 3 shift code is for a single Golden Key, whereas Pitchford had been sending out codes for three Golden Keys these past couple of weeks that didn't expire quite as fast.

It's unclear why Pitchford decided to move back to releasing Borderlands 3 shift codes that give out one Golden Key, but regardless, here is the Borderlands 3 shift code for December 6, 2019: CSKT3-6F9HB-ZWJC5-BTBT3-JJFXC.

Like all Borderlands 3 shift codes, fans of the looter-shooter have a few different ways that they can redeem it. They can redeem it through the Gearbox Software website, in-game, or through the Borderlands website. The latter method of redeeming Borderlands 3 shift codes was only made available to fans just recently, but it should make the process of redeeming shift codes a little more convenient.

After redeeming a Borderlands 3 shift code, players will be sent a Golden Key to their in-game mailbox. Upon retrieving the Golden Key from their Borderlands 3 mailbox, players can then use it on the chest aboard Sanctuary III for some free loot.

New Borderlands 3 shift codes are all fine and good, but some fans may be more interested in the substantial new DLC that's releasing later this month. The first Borderlands 3 story DLC is set to launch on December 19, entitled Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot. It should give fans of Gearbox's looter-shooter plenty of new content to sift through, and it's possible that its launch will be commemorated with some bonus shift codes to redeem as well, though that hasn't been confirmed at the time of this writing.

Borderlands 3 is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
