Revenge of the Cartels Quickly Explained
Revenge of the Cartels is a Seasonal Event in Borderlands 3. Originally, this was a limited-time event, however, Gearbox Software has updated the game making it possible to enable the event in the Main Menu.
Maurice has gotten himself into some trouble and you need to help out. Hunt down Cartel Operatives that randomly spawn throughout the galaxy. After defeating enough of these neon troops, Maurice can get you to Joey Ultraviolet’s secret location.
Villa Ultraviolet is protected by 1 of 3 cartels, each providing a unique challenge as different enemy types will guard the secret hideout.
Every Revenge of the Cartels Legendary Item
The final boss and his underlings are the main source for the Revenge of the Cartel legendaries. The mini-bosses 6.6% chance of dropping their dedicated drops when you encounter them by themselves but if they are fighting alongside Joey Ultraviolet the drop chance is increased to 11.6% which is on par with the final boss himself.
