Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine explained

Distinguished from standard vending options, Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine specializes exclusively in legendary items. You’re welcome to purchase as many items as your resources allow – keep in mind that these exceptional goods come at a premium.

If you have multiple characters, each one can access and purchase items from the machine. It’s even possible to acquire duplicates of the same item. Interacting with Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine with one character doesn’t prevent other Vault Hunters from accessing it, and the same selection of items will be available to them.

A cooldown period is activated following any interaction with the Black Market Vending Machine’s menu, irrespective of whether a purchase is made. This cooldown lasts approximately 30 minutes. After this duration, you can revisit the machine to potentially acquire further items.
