Discover the latest updates on Borderlands 4, featuring the new shift code for C4SH and reactions to the recent DLC.
Borderlands 4: New Shift Code and DLC Controversies
Gearbox Software has recently unveiled a new Shift Code for Borderlands 4, allowing players to unlock an exclusive skin for the new Vault Hunter, C4SH. This follows the launch of the Mad Ellie and Vault of the Damned DLC, which was released about two weeks ago and introduced C4SH. This timing gives players the chance to try out their builds with this new character and earn the skin.
New skin and community challenge
The new skin, named 'Like Vermillion Bucks', became available after a successful community challenge where players collectively had to defeat a staggering 524,912 enemies. This challenge coincided with the Easter weekend, highlighting community engagement. Players can use the Shift Code, valid until December 31, 2030, to claim this skin both in-game and via the Shift website.
Sales figures and DLC value
Borderlands 4 is available for $70, while the recently released DLC 'Vault of the Damned' is priced at $30. The DLC offers a relatively small area that is smaller than the starting area of the game, with 2-3 hours of main story content and a number of new weapons. However, there are criticisms regarding the value of this release, as many players question whether the price is justified for the content provided.
C4SH and gameplay
C4SH himself has received positive reviews for his action skills and the build options he offers. Nevertheless, the discussion about the value of the DLC remains divided. While some players are excited about the performance and possibilities that C4SH provides, others are less satisfied with the amount of proven content in the DLC.
Timeline
April 6, 2026: Gearbox Software reveals a Shift Code for the skin 'Like Vermillion Bucks' for C4SH.
Mid-March 2026: The Mad Ellie and Vault of the Damned DLC are launched.
April 2026: Players complete a community challenge with over 524,912 defeated enemies.
The launch of the Shift Code and the rise of C4SH within the Borderlands 4 community show that Gearbox is focused on long-term engagement and support for its player base. Meanwhile, the discussion about the pricing and content of their recent DLC continues. The hope is that future DLCs will better meet player expectations and provide more value for the investment.
