Finding Maurice's Black Market vendor in Borderlands 4 can feel like hunting for treasure – because that's exactly what you're doing. This elusive vendor stocks legendary gear that rotates weekly, but tracking him down requires knowing exactly where to look and when to shop. Whether you're a seasoned Vault Hunter or just starting your legendary collection, mastering Maurice's schedule will give you the edge you need to dominate the wasteland.
Where to Find Maurice This Week (September 25 - October 2)
Maurice has set up shop in Carcadia Burn within the Grindstone of the Worthy area. Here's your step-by-step route to reach him:
- Fast travel to the Rustical Hurl Silo
- Head north from the spawn point
- Follow the uphill path until you spot a distinctive building topped with a large sphere
- Enter the building to trigger Maurice's vendor machine
Black Market Vending Machine ...
The vendor won't appear on your map until you're practically on top of it, so don't panic if you don't see the icon immediately. The machine remains completely invisible in the game world until you step into its trigger area inside that sphere-topped building.
tip
If you're approaching from the Crumblehall point of interest to the north, head south into Grindstone for the quickest route to Maurice's current location.
Understanding Maurice's Weekly Rotation System
Maurice operates on a strict weekly schedule that follows Borderlands 4's reset timer:
Every Thursday at noon Eastern, Maurice packs up and moves to a completely new location. The spot remains identical for all players worldwide during that week, making it a community-wide treasure hunt.

After the weekly reset, you'll need to restart your game session to load Maurice's new location. The old spot becomes completely inactive.
How Maurice's Black Market Actually Works
Unlike regular vendors, Maurice's operation follows unique rules that can catch new players off guard:
Legendary-Only Inventory: Maurice exclusively sells legendary gear – no common, uncommon, rare, or epic items appear in his stock.
Purchase Flexibility: You can buy multiple copies of the same item if you have enough currency. Each character on your account can shop independently with the same weekly inventory.
The 30-Minute Cooldown: Here's where things get tricky. Once you close Maurice's vendor menu – whether you buy anything or just browse – the machine locks for approximately 30 minutes. Plan your shopping accordingly.

warning
The cooldown triggers even if you don't purchase anything. Make sure you're ready to buy before opening the menu.
Advanced Shopping Strategies
Multi-Character Shopping
If you're running multiple characters, stagger your visits around the cooldown timer. This lets you maximize purchases across your entire roster before the weekly reset.
Pre-Reset Planning
Maurice's inventory disappears completely when Thursday's reset hits. If you spot something valuable on Wednesday night, don't wait – that legendary might not appear again for months.
Currency Management
Stock up on cash before visiting Maurice. His legendary prices can be steep, and you won't want to miss out due to insufficient funds during that crucial 30-minute window.

Navigation Tips for Finding Maurice
Maurice's vendor machine uses a proximity-based reveal system that can frustrate first-time hunters:
Map Icon Behavior: The vendor icon only appears when you're within a specific radius. Don't rely on long-distance map scanning.
Trigger Zones: Each location has an invisible trigger area. For this week's Grindstone spot, you need to actually enter the sphere-topped building to make Maurice appear.
Landmark Navigation: Use nearby points of interest as reference points. The Crumblehall POI sits north of this week's location, making it a reliable navigation anchor.
