Loot[]
Borderlands GOTY Enhanced[]
It is possible to get legendary gear from the golden chest.
Borderlands 2[]
- When the golden chest is opened, it will spawn purple weapons, class mods, shields and grenade mods. E-tech weapons as well as blue and purple relics can also spawn in the chest. After all of the items are collected, the chest will close. A player with more Golden Keys available can open the chest again for more loot.
- The chest will never spawn pearlescent or legendary gear, nor will it spawn E-tech relics.
- On Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, spawned loot will always be a greater level than 6.
Borderlands 3[]
It is possible to get legendary gear from the golden chest.
Notes[]
- If all the items are taken from the chest before it has completely finished opening, it will remain open and therefore cannot be opened again - this issue can be fixed by leaving and re-entering the area.
- If the chest is opened, but the game is exited without being saved before the loot is collected, the key will not be restored.
- Golden Chest loot will almost always spawn the same level items as the character used to open the chest.
