The mysterious chest in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands ties into a rewards system for players

Brighthoof Skeleton Chest uses Skeleton Keys and grants cool loot in return. The loot is random, but it is always guaranteed to be blue rarity (Rare) and above. If you're lucky, it can even provide orange (Legendary) rarity gear.

But how can players obtain Keys? The only way to get them is via SHIFT Codes. These are provided by official Gearbox-affiliated social media accounts. Or even unofficial fan accounts that keep track of such things on the internet.

This requires players to have a SHIFT account, and registration is completely free. This service is the studio's way of keeping the game alive and the fanbase engaged. So far, only one Skeleton Key has been handed out. Fans can expect more to come as the game matures with updates.

What is Tiny Tina's Wonderlands about?

The latest adventure from Gearbox takes place in Borderlands' in-game Bunkers & Badasses universe. The same imaginary world where Borderlands 2's Tiny Tina's Assaulton Dragon Keep DLC expansion took place.

There, the Borderlands 2 Vault Hunters were transported to Tina's rendition of a fantasy table-top RPG. They took on all sorts of fantasy monsters and visited fairy tale locales, eventually facing off against the Handsome Sorcerer.

The studio went all out with a full-fludged succesor to that idea. This time around, players control entirely new characters. Called the Fatemaker, they are tasked with stopping the evil Dragon Lord and saving the Wonderlands from his threat. The game features a Class system instead of pre-defined characters, each having a unique skill tree.

The core gameplay is the same as the traditional Borderlands FPS formula: shoot every foe that steps in your path and collect shiny loot of ever-increasing quality. There are countless varieties in weapons, from melee to long range and even armor.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands launched a couple of days ago. it is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X consoles.
