Where is Maurice’s Black Market Vending machine in Borderlands 4 this week? (Sep 18-25)

Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine is one of Borderlands 4’s most exciting endgame features, but it comes with a catch: the machine never stays in one place.

Every week it shifts to a brand-new location, and unless you track it down, you’ll miss out on exclusive Legendary loot. That makes it a bit of a scavenger hunt, and one that can be tricky if you’re not sure where to start.

If you’ve already beaten the main story and unlocked Maurice’s machine, you’re ready to join the search.

Maurice’s Black Market Vending machine location

From September 18 to September 25, Maurice’s vending machine can be found in Terminus Range, on the right-hand side of the map near the safe house Heritage Opus.

The exact spot is inside a cave in that region, which can be tricky to reach. You’ll need to follow a winding path, climb through a few platforming sections, and use your grappling hook to finally get inside.

Once there, the machine is waiting for you with this week’s loot.

The best way to reach it is by navigating through the cave, climbing up a back corner, and double-jumping your way to the top. From there, use the grappling hook to pull obstacles out of the way until you reach the machine.

The vending machine isn’t easy to spot at first. It only becomes visible when you’re close, and the waypoint line can send you in circles.

The machine will remain in this location until the weekly reset, which happens every Thursday at midnight EDT. After that, it will vanish and reappear in a new spot, so make sure to visit before the rotation.

There’s also fresh endgame content to chase this week, with a new rotating boss encounter and an updated Wildcard Mission offering unique modifiers.

How to unlock Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine

Maurice’s vending machine isn’t available from the start of the game. To unlock it, you’ll first need to complete Borderlands 4’s main story campaign, which usually takes around 30 hours.

Once the credits roll, you’ll gain access to Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM), which introduces several new missions tied to the game’s endgame.

The vending machine is first introduced in the mission Ultimate Vault Hunter: Maurice’s Bounty. This quest tasks you with tracking down the Black Market for the first time and claiming a reward from it.

After completing this mission, Maurice’s machine will become part of the open world, rotating to a new location every week.

When you get close to the machine, it will appear slightly invisible until you are within about twenty meters.

Once it fully materializes, a map marker will be placed, helping you find it again until the reset. You can also track the timer for Maurice’s weekly moves through the Weekly Activities menu, which lists how long remains before the next relocation.

Weapons aren’t everything, though. If you want to get the best build for Rafa, Amon, Vex, or Harlowe, we’ve got you covered.
