Borderlands 3players have responded well to the the addition of the Black Market, a moving vending machine with Legendary gear. Similar to Xur from theDestinyseries,Borderlands 3fans can find the Black Market in a random location each and every week.
With the locations not being as obvious as the usual vending machine spots, gamers will need to be thorough to track down this moving machine. Though Maurice’s goodies were found inAmbermire on Eden 6 last week, the lovable Suarian’s best loot is seen on a different planet this time around. Considering that the current Black Market loot within only available until April 22, checking the machine sooner rather than later would be a wise idea.

The April 15 Black Market Location
Borderlands 3fans will want to travel to Pandora if they hope to find the machine, as the iconic desert planet houses the Black Market this time around. Specifically, they will want to head to Ascension Bluff. With the location housing thearena for Hemovorous The Invincible, the firstBorderlands 3raid boss, players with the Director’s Cut DLC have likely been traveling to and from Ascension Bluff lately. However, they will want to head right of the raid boss’s home this time.
Players are heading to the Holy Broadcast Center, the location where they had their firstencounter with The Calypso Twinsand took on the unique boss Mouthpiece. Fortunately, they will not have to go through the entire area. Once they have entered the first room with the stained-glass wall, they can move forward for a short while. In the room that comes after the area with the large “V” and sound traps, players should find a staircase. To the right of the staircase, the machine can be found resting at the end of the platform.
The April 15 Black Market Loot
In the latest Black Market, players can find three ofBorderlands 3’s legendary items. The first is the Hex, a strong Atlas grenade mod that homes in on enemies and splits into 6 different explosives. Once the most overpowered grenade inBorderlands 3, nerfs have seen it fall slightly, though it is still worth picking up. Another great gear piece in the machine is the Kaos Assault Rifle from Dahl, with the weapon boasting the impressive ability to make dead enemies explode. With the weapon’s effect chaining to different enemies, it is great for mobbing.
Finally, there is the Lyuda sniper rifle, with the Vladof weapon being among the best guns inBorderlands 2. While it is a bit less impressive inBorderlands 3, it is still a terrific sniper. While it is a world drop that can be farmed inthe Circles of Slaughteror other areas packed with foes, and players get one for free through Zer0’s crew challenges, the Lyuda can be most easily obtained through the Black Market machine this week. As always, there will be a 30-minute cooldown on the machine after each visit, so players should bring lots of cash and get what they want on their initial trip.
Borderlands 3is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
