This was done on an unpatched version of the game, so this may be fixed in the future. You can easily use the duplication exploit if you both want a copy of the items that you ended up with. When you continue your game, your co-op partner will have the items, and your golden key will still be available to use again. Now, either exit the game forcefully with the Guide button or PS3 button and going to the home screen, depending on the console you’re using, or simply turn the console off. Have the second character exit the game and save. Now open the chest with the primary character, and have the second character loot the chest. It will say that you can’t save from here on out unless you choose a new save location, so make you do not choose a new save location and just continue. At this point, unplug the USB stick from your console. Take both players to the golden chest in Sanctuary. Now, with your saved game on the USB stick, and your second profile on the hard drive (or an online co-op partner, etc), continue your game and point the console to your USB stick to load it. If your co-op partner is an online player, then don’t worry about this. This is important, and you’ll see why momentarily. Also make sure you don’t move the DLC file that has the golden key in it to the USB stick if that’s how you have access to your golden key, because removing the USB stick during your game while it’s accessing DLC on your USB stick will make it exit to the title screen.Īlso, make sure your co-op partner’s profile is on the hard drive and not on the USB stick. You don’t have to copy the entire profile, just the saved game. Move the saved game that has access to the golden key over to the USB stick. It’s probably a good idea to save your game in Sanctuary as well, to have fast access to the golden chest. This method requires a USB stick, a second controller (or online co-op partner you can communicate with), and at least one golden key. Make sure to follow the steps exactly so you don’t risk losing your precious golden key. I’ve personally used both of these methods, and they work beautifully. If any of your friends have one though, you can log onto their game to try it out, or check out my other guide for a tip to get at least one free gold key. These tricks require that you have access to at least one golden key however, so this won’t get you a free gold key.

In Borderlands 2 for the PS3, and Xbox 360, there are a couple of exploits you can use to keep using your golden key without ever using it up, which will essentially give you unlimited access to rare (purple) weapons, mods, and items.
