Maurice’s Black Market is a hidden vending machine in Borderlands 3. This vendor sells Top-Tier Legendary Loot, however, there is a catch; Maurice changes the location of the Black Market Vending Machine each week. Therefore, this vendor became a highly sought-after item in Borderlands 3. Don’t worry, I got your back. Each week I’ll be updating this Borderlands 3 Black Market Guide with the new location.
Where is Maurice?
Don’t tell warmonger, Marcus about the Black Market Location!
Maurice
Where is Borderlands 3 Black Market located this week?
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine is located in the Meridian Outskirts on the planet Promethea this week. The vendor is hidden near the Crimson Radio in The Spillways area. Check out the map below for guidance.
Maurice’s Black Market will be in this location from Dec 12 to Dec 19, 2024
What items does the Black Market sell?
You can purchase these legendary items at Maurice’s Black Market this week. They can be obtained with regular money but they can be pretty expensive, so you better stack up on cash. The Weapon Parts, Elements, and Anoints will be different each time you visit.
Let me explain how Maurice’s Black Market in Borderlands 3 works in more detail.
Do I need any DLC to get the Black Market in Borderlands 3?
Maurice’s Black Market vending machine was added as a free update to the base game on March 18, 2021. While it was added alongside the release of Borderlands 3: The Director’s Cut this means you don’t need that DLC in order to visit this legendary vendor but you do need to have updated your game at least once since then.
What type of items can I purchase at Maurice’s vending machine?
Maurice’s Black Market always offers multiple versions of 3 different legendary items. Weapon Parts, Elements, and Anoints are mixed up so you can find the best version. Gearbox Software carefully selected top-tier legendary items for this loot pool.
Can I use Borderlands 3 DLC items from the Black Market vendor?
You can occasionally find a DLC item in the Black Market vending machine. You can purchase these items, however, you are only able to use them if you also own the corresponding DLC. If you don’t have the required DLC, the item will be locked in a way similar to being under-leveled for the item but the required DLC is mentioned on the card.
When does Maurice’s Black Market change locations?
Gearbox Software will hide the Black Market at a new location each week. They will change the location every Thursday at 9:00 AM PT. I will update this location guide as soon as possible with the newest location each week.
Borderlands 3 Black Market does not spawn, what now?
Did the Black Market Vending Machine disappear and not show up at the location mentioned above? This means you already interacted with the machine. It doesn’t matter if you made a purchase.
Gearbox Software implemented a timer to prevent you from farming the vendor. You are safe if you stay on the same map but once you travel to a new location, the vendor is gone.
If you want to farm Maurice’s vending machine again, you will need to wait 30 minutes (in-game) before it reappears again. This reset requires you to reload the map.
Why are the Legendary Items not at my Character level?
The level scaling of each Borderlands 3 map depends on your initial progress going through that map. Going to an early area will result in low-level items unless you are playing on TVHM or with Mayhem Mode enabled because then each map will scale to your character.
Every Black Market Location
Here you can find an overview of the Black Market data. The Borderlands 3 Black Market has 66 possible locations and 52 different loot pools.
There are 52 different loot pools available for the vendor. Each week the game randomly assigns one loot pool to the vendor and the final chest in the Diamond Armory.
