An item code is a set of uppercase letters and numbers (usually 10-12 characters long) that are used to get rare exclusive items that aren't available in the shop and, in some cases, the most exclusive items in Shell Shockers. They are considered exclusive because codes are not exactly available to everyone, unlike items in the shop. Codes can also be for Golden Eggs instead of items (including premium items). Codes with 10 characters almost always consist of uppercase letters while codes of length 11 and 12 contain numbers alongside uppercase letters.
The "Redeem Code" button, located on the bottom right of the Inventory page, is where players can redeem codes. Different methods exist in attaining codes, with popular ones being old issues of The New Yolker, Blue Wizard Digital giveaways, and Competitive League Rewards. Each week, Blue Wizard Digital hosts a giveaway for a rare item in their discord server! Codes can also be won from placing first, second, or third in Blue Wizard Digital Discord competitions or other BWD code-supported servers.

Once a code is successfully redeemed, players recieve a popup with the image and name of the redeemed item, and the item is added to their Inventory. After a code is redeemed, that specific code cannot be used again. If players try to redeem a code that has previously been used, a popup will appear saying: "CODE ALREADY USED" That code has already been used and can't be used again!"
Reusable Codes

There are currently two reusable, working redeem codes in the game. These codes can be used an unlimited number of times by anyone and never expire. Unlike redeem codes for Items or Golden Eggs, these redeem codes do not grant any rewards to players. They were added to the game for fun, both showing an image on the "Code Cracked" popup.
D3LL0RKC1R
Commonly referred to as the Rickroll code, this redeem code displays a GIF from Rick Astley's pop song , "Never Gonna Give You Up" when redeemed. Looking at the code, it is "RICKROLLED" (R1CKR0LL3D) spelled backwards. This code is often used to troll and trick newer players into getting Rickrolled instead of getting an item. Players tend to use this code on “code beggars”.

During the EGG ORG 2022 Event, this 4-digit numerical code was hidden in the hedges of the timetwist map. It shows how Pablo defeated EGG ORG. It is the shortest redeem code in the game, and is the only one (known so far) to consist of all numbers.

How to Redeem a Code
Redeeming a code is a fairly simple process. To redeem a code, navigate to the Shell Shockers main menu. After you are in the main menu, on the left side of the menu, the inventory button will be present, that is where you access your Weapon Skins, Stamps, and Hats.
Redeem Code Preview
In the inventory, under the panel on the right side that shows the items which your avatar is equipped with, there is a blue "Redeem Code" button. Pressing on the button causes a pop-up window to appear. In the middle of the window, there is an "Enter Item Code" field. Enter your redeem code into there, and then press the green "Confirm" button.
After a code is entered to be redeemed, the servers check it and show the player one of the six different responses below.

Redeem Code Responses
| Redeem Status | Description | Pop-Up Image |
|---|---|---|
| Eggcellent! | This message shows up when a valid, unused code is successfully redeemed (cracked). The message has an image of the redeemed item along with the item's in-game name. The redeemed item is also added to the player's inventory.
|
|
| No Account Found | This message shows up when a player isn't using an account (signed in or locally). As there is no account for the redeem code to be used on, it prevents the player from being able to redeem their code. | 
|
| Code is Being Processed | This message shows up when the code that a player tries to redeem is currently in the process of being redeemed by another player. Players often get this popup when trying to redeem codes during a code drop as multiple people rush to redeem the same code. During code drops, only one person (the fastest) will be able to redeem it successfully. Sometimes it will ask you to try to reload the game | 
|
| Code Used | This message shows up when the code that a player tries to redeem has previously been redeemed by another player. Once a code is used on an account, it can never be used again by anyone else. | 
|
| Invalid Code | This message shows up when the code that a player tries to redeem is invalid. The sequence of numbers and letters that you entered doesn't exist as a valid redeem code. | 
|
| Error | This message shows up when the code that a player tries to redeem is broken. Some known examples of this would be the codes: KQSGNKPJAHB, FMUNFKNICK, or ZWICKVWYEW. Codes become "broken" when two (or more) identical redeem codes are generated at different times. Since the servers don't know which item the code belongs to, that particular redeem code can never be successfully redeemed by anyone, resulting in an error message. |
