Borderlands 2 Gets Halloween Skins

SHiFT codes ahoy!

Today is the time when many children wander from door to door in search of sweet treats under the guise of celebrating Halloween. While adults can no longer justify doing this, we can instead celebrate with a handful of free Halloween-themed character costumes for Borderlands 2. Gearbox has been issuing SHiFT codes via their Facebook and Twitter accounts since 10am CT today, and we've compiled a full list of those codes for easy reference.

Maya's "Fright of the Bumblebee" costume

SHiFT Code: WJC3T-SS6S5-X9FTF-WRTB3-BT39H

31/10/12 Maya skin


Salvador's "Killer Bee" costume

SHiFT Code: WTK33-HFR95-RZRJX-KRBB3-CZ3KF

31/10/12 Salvador skin


Axton's "Yellow Jacket" costume

SHiFT Code: KBKBT-WH6Z5-X96B6-WX3TJ-5J6J3

31/10/12 Axton skin


Zer0's "Hornet's Nest" costume

SHiFT Code: 5J53B-J96HW-F9FBX-CFTT3-FTFXS

31/10/12 Zer0 skin


Gaige's "Stinger Missile" costume

SHiFT Code: WTKTJ-696S5-R9RB6-5RTT3-BTS3H

31/10/12 Gaige skin


To redeem SHiFT codes, you will need to select Extras from the in-game menu and then select SHiFT Code. If you do not have a SHiFT account then you will be asked to create one. When the 'My Offers' screen appears, press X to enter each code. Players must be 18 to create a SHiFT account and the service requires Xbox LIVE Gold membership.

All of the codes will be active until 11:55 PM CT on Sunday, November 4th so you have a few days to be able to use them.

I just got home from the office and redeemed all of these.

It is worth noting that if you redeem multiple codes at the same time you will need to cash them in (in game) one at a time, saving and reloading your character each time.

Only redeemed the Maya one so far, the others I will probably have to redeem on the weekend when I have a bit of free time. Nice little freebie for Halloween though.

I'll probably only bother getting the Maya and Zer0 ones but still nice of Gearbox to do this.

Too bad I don't really play Borderlands 2 anymore, due to not really having anyone to play it with. :I

My first time online playing Borderlands 1 i met a guy and we ended up doing the entire game together and playing other games we had but it got to a point it was too late for me as we were in different time zones so i had to stop after a while but if not for that im sure i would still game with him today

I read about this yesterday. Although, I'm not sure how yellow and black bee outfits relate to Halloween, I'm still happy to get some new skins. I just feel like Gearbox missed an opportunity to really celebrate the holiday.

I'd have gone with the classic orange and black. I'd also make Zero resemble a ghost, give Maya and/or Gaige bat wings, have Salvador adorned with pumpkins, and zombify Axton. I'm sure we all have our own opinions on what would have been best, but I think we can all agree that they could have done better. Maybe Christmas will provide some redemption!
