Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine location
For the week of Oct. 9–16, Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine appears in the Carcadia District, which is in the northwestern section of the Dominion. The machine’s exact spot is on the southern balcony of a tall building that sits in the middle of a large lava pool.
How to reach the vending machine
Start from The Lockaway Safehouse and head northeast. When you arrive, you’ll see the lava pool and the central building. Use the rubble in the lava as stepping points, then glide over one of the air streams to land on the rubble. Look up for a grapple point that launches you to the balcony where Maurice’s machine sits.
Be advised: the machine’s map icon only appears when you get close enough, so it won’t show up across the region. Also, the Black Market moves after Borderlands 4’s weekly reset, so its location will change each week.
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine explained
Maurice’s machine is a special vendor that sells only legendary weapons and ordnance. It becomes available as a weekly challenge after you finish the main campaign. You can buy as many items as you want, provided you can afford them, and you can even purchase the same item multiple times.
Important mechanics to note: the same item list is offered to all of your characters. Therefore, buying with one Vault Hunter doesn’t lock out others from the same inventory. However, the machine enters a cooldown — roughly 30 minutes — after you leave its menu, whether you bought something or not. After that cooldown you can return and buy again.
Finally, remember the weekly nature: check for the machine after each weekly reset if you’re hunting specific legendaries. Good luck, and happy looting.
