Golden Key usage
I got about 250 golden keys now after using the shift codes pinned here. I was wondering if i should open them now or maybe on a higher level. I am level 14 now and i have a pretty decent setup. Me and my friends play the game on 4 player Co-Op is its not that hard either.

What should i do with the golden keys? Save them for later? What level is recommended for them to be opened?

Thanks

Depends how many playthroughs you think you'll do. Nothing wrong with spending a few when you're low level, but if you're not having any trouble with your current weapons then there isn't much point - may aswell save them.

It's easier when you're co-op (I've played both single and multi) but you may want to save some keys for a UVHM playthrough, if you end up doing that.

Best time to use those is probably in UVHM between levels 60 and 72 since the Golden Chest will give you gear that is nearly best that you can get on your level. That or just have fun with guns that drops from enemies.

If you're playing level 14. I'd advise against using them the keys altogether. The guns you get will not be worth much for keys that you can only use once.
A better option is hold off until you kill The Warrior, by which point you should be at least somewhere between level 30-32. Then do either of one these:
1.Start the DLC campaigns
or
2. Start True Vault Hunter Mode

Either way you should use the keys only once every five levels so you can get the most out of each gun before selling them by which point they should be worth quite a lot.

In normal mode guns you get from Golden Chest ain't any better than basic gear you get from other boxes and enemies

save the keys until you get stuck, use them to get out of a problem area.

Do those chests drop legendaries? I never once used a key. The game is pretty generous up to the OP levels when it comes to gear.

So, unless there's a chance of Legendary gear. Use those keys whenever you feel the need for a upgrade.

Not even a chance since then the chest would also give pearls and seraphs (those being lower tier than Legendaries)

I thought so.

In that case, just use the keys whenever you want. Since there's no chance of getting a legendary the best you can get will be a good class mod.
