Google "Borderlands Golden Keys". Been in the game since BL2 and was causing a stink even back then. Sure there is nothing exclusive to the Golden Chests (that I know of), but they are a quintessential Lootbox.

You mean the event exclusive shit you don't actually have to pay for (outside of attending the events/seeing social media posts/the few that come with a DLC pack)?

Per Gearbox's official site for the game:

How do I get Golden Keys? Golden Keys can only be unlocked by redeeming SHiFT codes. You can get SHiFT codes from official Gearbox sponsored events and social media accounts.
