Looking to spend your cash on easily obtainable, high-quality legendary weapons? Then you should look for Maurice’s Black Market on the Borderlands 4 map; his inventory has everything you need to create mayhem on Kairos without breaking a sweat.
If you’re struggling to encounter legendary items throughout most of your Borderlands 4 campaign except through golden keys (which you should save for level 50), Gearbox’s game is increasingly offering opportunities to gear up with orange items as you progress. You’ll come across exciting boss farms with rewarding loot and a final Hunter level that could keep you occupied for quite some time after finishing the main story. In this guide, we’ll explore how the ultimate vendor operates, doling out legendary gear.
Finding Maurice’s Black Market
- Week 4 – October 2: In the Versant region, head to the barracks west of the Helioside Fortress. Move towards the building shown in the first image below, go upstairs to find the vendor.
- Week 3 – September 25: In the Carcadia region, head southeast from the Arch in the area as indicated in the first image below. Go to the quest location “Vices and Info: Cannon Fodder” if you haven’t already completed it, then enter the building to your left. The vendor is on the other side.
- Week 2 – September 18: To the east of Mount Terminus, at the end of the instance. Go to the indicated location in the second image to find platforms leading to the roof of the structure with the vendor.
How to Unlock Maurice’s Black Market?
The legendary gear vendor is one of three endgame activities that will change weekly. Therefore, you will need to complete the main questline to access it. It’s nothing out of the ordinary; just be aware that the vendor will move locations, and you must figure out how to reach him each time he moves. Once in front of the vendor, you will have access to a wide selection of orange-quality loot, typically belonging to the same category (like only shotguns or shields). You can only make one purchase per slot, so choose wisely. Lastly, you can see how much time is left before Maurice relocates in the bottom left corner of your map.
How to Locate Maurice’s Black Market?
Simply open your Kairos map and look for the vendor icon. Once you arrive, be prepared for the game to ask you to do some platforming to reach the machine. For instance, on this initial outing, the vendor is located in the Coulapic area of the Versant region. Take your time to think, but ensure to buy something while using it, because if you exit the shop without taking anything, that chance will be lost (and yes, we learned this the hard way).
