Borderlands 3 Guide – Where To Find Rare Spawns and What Loot They Drop

Looking for some unique Legendary items? These Rare Spawns might help.

Gearbox is celebrating the anniversary of the Borderlands series in the only way it knows how: With more loot. A five week event is currently underway in Borderlands 3 and each week offers increased rewards for different activities. The second week’s modifiers are still available and focuse on Rare Spawns.

Though Rare Spawns can be located outside of the event, they have higher chances of appearing during the event. Each Rare Spawn has its Legendary loot which have higher drop rates at this time.

There are 14 Rare Spawns in total. Here’s where to find them and what they drop.
