Why Maurice’s Black Market keeps changing
The Black Market doesn’t stay put because it’s designed to push exploration. Each week, Gearbox rotates the machine’s position into a different zone. That way, you’re encouraged to revisit old areas, uncover hidden spots, and stay engaged with the broader world even after finishing the campaign.
How the Black Market vending machine works
When you interact with Maurice’s vending machine, it will display two legendary items at a time, tailored to you. Every player sees different loot rolls, which means your friends won’t get the exact same options. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- After you purchase, the machine locks you out for 35 minutes.
- When the cooldown ends, the same items reappear but with fresh stat rolls.
- Legendary stock rotates weekly, so each new reset is worth checking.
Items available from Maurice's vending machine
The machine stocks an exclusive selection of legendary weapons, gear, guns, and ordnance, with the inventory unique to each player but the location consistent across all. You can purchase as many items as your funds allow, including multiples of the same piece, though prices run high. Items scale to your level and refresh per visit after the cooldown.
