Golden Key GET!

If you've played Borderlands 2 for long enough to make it to Sanctuary, you have probably stumbled over the golden chest located near the character customizer and the fast travel.

If you've done a bit of research, you might have found out that you need a Golden Key to open it, and that it contains wonderful treasures (in the form of awesome guns, shields, etc).

You might be thinking that the keys are super rare, and you'd be partially right.

One was given to anyone who was a premium member (those who pre-ordered).

One was given to anyone who signed up for a Shift account.

And the last tender morsel of information is this:

They give them out routinely on Twitter if you're following the right people.

@DuvalMagic (Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software)

@GearboxSoftware (their official Twitter account)

And probably a few others that I haven't tracked down yet.

So if you're itching to get the best items out there with the least amount of terrible deaths at the hand of super-powered enemies, then you need to look no further than Twitter and the Golden Keys that spring forth from it!
