Borderlands 2 Cheats & Codes

Unlimited Rare Loot (Premiere Club)

Players who preordered the game became members of the "Premiere Club" and were provided with a special key that unlocks a loot box in Sanctuary. The box can typically be opened only once per trip through the game, but there's an exploit. Pause the game and have a second player locally join your game as a guest. He or she will now also have a gold key. Have that person open the box so that you can then collect the loot. Then have the player drop out of the game. You can invite the player back as often as you like by repeating the process, and he or she will bring along a gold key every time.

Easy Leveling (You Are Cordially Invited)

The first optional Tiny Tina mission is titled "You Are Cordially Invited" and your apparent goal is to lure a thug named Flamestick to a party where he will meet his demise. However, you can easily gain experience points by repeatedly failing the mission. Play through the mission as instructed until you are supposed to bring Flamestick to the table that Tina will have prepared. Instead of bringing him to that destination, kill him for the experience points (his death results in around 5000XP if you are at level 35 and playing on True Vault Hunter mode. Killing Flamestick will result in a failed mission, but then you can retry the mission as often as you like for more easy XP. The trick works even better if you load a second character and have them stand near Tina, constantly respawning Flamestick.

Easy Money, Eridium, and XP

If you have a commando or mechromancer character (the latter works best), you can level up your character at the end of the campaign so that you're prepared for tougher battles in the True Vault Hunter mode. Once you defeat the main campaign's boss, stay in that chamber and use your turrets to take out the Rakk enemies that regularly spawn. If you are using a mechromancer and your skill is maxed by that point, your DT duration increases after each kill. You can leave your console on and let your weapons automatically take out the enemies while you tend to other things. Otherwise, you'll need to take a more hands-on approach. This is a great way to farm experience, money, and eridium with minimal effort.

Extra Backpack Storage

You can carry more gear in your backpack than you might think, though this trick is mostly just useful early in the game. First, find a vendor and sell the items in your backpack to make room for more items. Now grab any items lying around, or purchase the vendor's wares. Once your backpack is full, you should next buy the items that you just sold, thus temporarily expanding your backpack's storage capacity beyond the usual limit.

Instant Reload

To quickly reload your weapon, open your equipment and inventory menu, which effectively pauses the game (if you're playing without friends). Choose the weapon you wish to reload, then switch it out for another weapon from your inventory, then switch the weapons yet again. The desired weapon now has a full clip, assuming you had the ammo for that, and you can exit the menu and get back to the action without waiting to reload. Note that this technique will not work if your character is in "fight for your life" mode.

Unlimited Rare Items

In Sanctuary you can find Michael Mamaril, the NPC who pays tribute to a late Borderlands fan. When you talk to him, he'll reward you with a rare item (blue or better). Save your game and quit to the menu, then load your save file and find Michael again. You can so as often as you like, then either keep the items or sell them for profit. Michael moves around Sanctuary a lot, so you may have to look for him a bit.
