Borderlands 2 - PC
Infinite Golden Keys:
---------------------
Use a text editor to edit the "WillowDLC.ini" file in the folder:
"\Steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\DLC\POPremierClub\Lic"
Locate the following lines:
[GoldenKeys]
+SourceId=254
+NumKeys=1
Change the "+Numkeys=1" value from "1" up to "255" to get the desired number of Golden Keys.
The Golden Keys can be used to open the Golden Loot chest found in Sanctuary near the Fast
Travel terminal. Each time you open the chest, it will use one key and give you rare weapon(s)
or item(s) that are scaled to the current level you are at when you open the chest.

Duplicating weapons, items, and money:
--------------------------------------
Start a co-op game with at least one other player. Stand next to another player, and initiate
a trade. Give them the desired weapons/items/money you would like to duplicate. Then,
immediately quit the game without saving. Since the game did not save after you traded the
weapons/items/money, you will still have them, and the other player you traded them to will
also have them. The other player can then give you weapons/items/money while using the same
method. Repeat this as many times as desired.
"Note:" Do not trade items near an auto save point to prevent the game from accidentally saving
while trading the items.
Infinite Eridium:
-----------------
In Three Horns Valley, go northwest on the map to the hideout where you fight the Bad Maw boss
(the area is right next to the entrance to Bloodshot Stronghold. Kill Bad Maw, and pick up the
Eridium he drops. Then, enter the Bloodshot Stronghold, and choose the "Save and Quit" option.
Continue the game, return to Three Horns Valley, and kill Bad Maw again to get more Eridium.
Repeat this as many times as desired.
Veteran skins:
--------------
Have a saved game file from the original Borderlands on your hard drive to unlock the Veteran
skins for all four characters using the option found under the "Extras" menu.
Minecraft Easter Egg:
---------------------
Once you reach Sanctuary Hole after Chapter 9 (it can be accessed from the northeast area
of the map in Three Horns Divide), you will find a cliff that drops off into a huge hole
on your right behind a building close to the end of the town you go through immediately
after entering Sanctuary Hole. It does not look like you can drop off the edge, but there
is an area you can drop onto. Drop down to this area to reach the entrance to Caustic
Caverns. You can also reach the entrance to Caustic Caverns by progressing through
Sanctuary Hole normally. Once you enter Caustic Caverns, go to the "Guardian Ruins" at
the northwest corner of the map. Find the mine carts on the train tracks, and turn right
just before you reach the huge door at the end of the train tracks. Then, go straight,
jump over the two cube blocks, and immediately turn left to enter a cave with a bunch of
Minecraft blocks. Keep smashing the blocks to enter a secret Minecraft area. There are
Minecraft style enemies in this area. You can fine a special Minecraft head and skin for
your character by defeating the enemies and smashing the blocks in this area. There is a
different head and skin dropped in this area for each character. The enemies also drop
rare loot. If you do not get the desired head and skin for a character and/or do not like
the loot you got, you can choose to "Save and Quit", and then continue your game to get
different loot in this area.
Moxxi weapons:
--------------
If you keep tipping Moxxi large amounts of money in Sanctuary (over $10,000), she will
eventually give you a weapon. Try to tip after she stops talking. Once you get a weapon
from her, you can fast travel to another area and then back to Sanctuary. Keep tipping her
again to get another weapon. She only gives two types of weapons -- a fire elemental
submachine gun and corrosive elemental submachine gun, but they should always have
different stats.
Getting Golden Keys:
--------------------
Golden Keys can be used to open the Golden Loot chest found in Sanctuary near the Fast
Travel terminal. Each time you open the chest, it will use one key and give you rare
weapon(s) or item(s) that are scaled to the current level you are at when you open the
chest. Thus, make sure you do not open the cheat with a Golden Key until you want a rare
weapon for the current level you are at. There are multiple ways to get a Golden Key.
Certain retailers gave a DLC code to people who pre-ordered the game that included a
Golden Key. You can also sign-up for the Gearbox Shift program that is found under the
"Extras" menu in-game to get a Golden Key. Gearbox has also stated they are planning on
giving away more Golden Keys through future promotions and events. The news ticker at
the Borderlands 2 menus will provide more information about the Golden Key promotions
and events.
Hidden QR code:
---------------
If you look on Mad Moxxi's pizza boxes, there is a QR code. When you scan the code, it says:
"Wise man say, forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza.
Better weapons and items:
-------------------------
Go to any slot machine after the game has recently been auto saved. Play the slot machine
as many times as desired. If you do not like the weapons and/or items you won, simply quit
the game without saving. Then, continue your saved game to still have all the money you
spent on slot machine. Repeat this process as many times as desired to get better weapons
and items.
-=Farm Badass Tokens=-
Revive Farming:
---------------
* To revive a downed player, hold [X/Square] for a few seconds to bring them back to life.
Doing this 50 times will net you Badass Tokens.
* To farm this, you’ll need to be able to kill yourself. Find or purchase a Tediore weapon.
These, when reloaded, will be thrown and explode.
* Remove any mods and your shields. Stand in a corner, fire the Tediore gun once, then
reload. You’ll throw the gun into the corner and blow yourself up.
* Let your partner revive you, or have your teammate do this so you can revive them. 50
revives, and you’ll have some early badass tokens.
Duel Farming:
-------------
* To do this quickly, only try this method just as you begin the game, before you gain many
levels. Unequip any stat-boosting mods, and remove their shields.
* To initiate a duel, just melee attack another play. Take turns, at this early point one
melee attack should end the duel.
Defeat each other 50 times to complete this challenge.
Trade Farming:
--------------
* To trade with another player, just hold [B/Circle] for a moment.
* Trades count whether you actually trade anything or not. Just activate “Trade” to complete
instead of cancelling out.
* Do that 50 times to complete the challenge with ease.
Duplicate Weapons and Infinite Money:
-------------------------------------
1. Weapons and items are constantly autosaved as you play Borderlands
2. If you drop a weapon, and quickly exit the game you’ll still have the weapon in
your inventory when you reload.
