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.

Borderlands 3 Black Market FAQ
Let me explain how Maurice’s Black Market in Borderlands 3 works in more detail.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
