WTF is a golden key?

Golden Keys - Important Details, Instructions and Information

So, you’ve got a Golden Key. Maybe you pre-ordered Borderlands 2 from a Premiere Club retailer or maybe you were lucky enough to snag a code from a Gearbox event or giveaway -- there are a variety of ways to get a Golden Key, and somehow you nabbed one.

“But how, O handsome Gearbox developers,” you ask, “does the Golden Key work? Exactly? Also you are very handsome.”

Firstly, thank you for the compliment. Secondly, the Golden Key is a rare item that unlocks a special Golden Chest in the friendly city of Sanctuary. Here’s what that Golden Chest looks like:

So, you’ve got a Golden Key in your profile and you start up the game. What happens next?

Firstly, you’ll have to get to the city of Sanctuary. This should take you about three hours (two hours to play through the missions leading up to Sanctuary, and one hour for physical recovery after you injure yourself laughing at the impeccably written dialog).

Then, you’ve got a decision to make. See, the loot inside the Golden Chest is always of “very rare” (purple) quality and scaled to your character’s level at the moment you open the chest. If you’ve only got one Key, you need to consider: do I want some high-quality loot right now, or do I want to wait until I’m closer to the (considerably more difficult) end of the game? Do I want my Level 21 Maya to open the chest, or should I switch to my Level 33 Axton?

Keep in mind that you cannot trade or sell Golden Keys, and once you’ve used a Key to open the Golden Chest, that Key is gone for good. So, you know. Choose carefully.

Whatever your decision, the loot you get from the Golden Chest is like any other piece of loot in the game – you can trade it, stash it, or sell it at your own discretion!

Golden Keys do not drop as loot.

We have a lot of ideas cooking as to how we might be able to distribute Golden Keys in the future -- I can't imagine we'd only distribute them based on physical proximity to events or what social media channels you use -- and will be sure to keep you all updated once we have more to share on that.

So, all pre orders get one?

Also, does anyone know if ALL retailers are getting a few ULCs? I don't want to waste a trip to Wally Mart if they aren't getting any. Calling isn't an option because they are clueless.

Pitchford is wearing the hell out of that shirt.

Looks like like Jackson Pollack ate three cans of paint and shit them out on his button-up.

Don't get chippy with me, mister.

There are deep ties involved from back when BF:BC2 hit.

Never said you won't get a featured role/alt. spot neither.

Hmmmm.....Golden Keys do not drop as loot......lets see how we can work them in. Oh, I know, put one (or more) in each DLC that we sell. That would make them more attractive (And I would buy the DLC even without the addition of a Golden Key).......So that's one way to work them in.

 

[U824942]

As "Red" said as he approach Fort Hancock Texas on his way to Zihuatanejo, Mexico - "I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain." - I might just go down to Gamestop at midnight an pick up my copy, just so I have it.......

Commando...:fap:

 

[U824942]

Funny you mention that - I would have thought the other characters would have been more attractive (Gunzerker, Siren, Zero) but I do find myself oddly attracted to the Commando class - not sure why. I never gave Roland a second look in B1.......

Roland had some good support abilities like team ammo regen and a couple of health regen capabilities. He's an essential character for co-op IMO.
