‘Borderlands 2’ Golden Key weekend giveaway provides free in-game loot (Photos)

Gearbox Software announced they were handing out another round of codes yesterday which players can redeem for Golden Keys in “Borderlands 2” as a means to celebrate the weekend. Each code is good for a single redemption for in-game loot that guarantees a rare piece of gear inside the game. The Golden Key codes will remain active for redemption through Sunday.

Every code redemption will give players a single key inside "Borderlands 2." Golden keys allow players to open a locked loot chest inside the city of Sanctuary. Unlocking the chest permanently consumes the golden key and guarantees a rare, level appropriate, piece of gear. Since the gear acquired with a golden key scales with a player’s level, it’s advised to wait on using the key until late in the game to ensure a good high-level piece of equipment. The codes for each platform are as follows.
