LIke some people i didnt pr-order BL2 and didnt get a Golden key to open the Loot chest in Sanctuary. But you can get a Golden key by signing up for "Shift" on Gearbox website or on your Xbox360 when you are signed into game. Website link https://shift.gearboxsoftware.com/home Create account there and link your Gamertag. As of 9/17/12 website linking is not available. SO do it on LIVE In Game : In the main menu go to "EXTRAS", then "Shift code" and create account here also. Once completed you will get confirmation email. Go to your email and confirm it. About 3-5 minutes later check in Extras/Shift code and you should have a message saying you have unlocked a Golden Key
Linked via the game in the extra settings. No idea where to get my "Shift Code" from, it's asking for it on the Xbox!!
No code, i just created the account on the xbox and confirmed email on pc and then it popped up saying new content available in extras
Ive signed up but it says Not linked - You can not link your Xbox Live account from this website at this time.
The character level determines what loot you get. So if you open with a level 50 you get a better weapon/item Open with level 6 and you get weaker weapon/item Open it with a level 50, then place items in Claptrap safe for your other characters to use. WIN WIN
