To celebrate Borderland’s 10 year anniversary, Gearbox has launched a 5-week celebration in which each week will feature a unique event. The previous week was all about Bonus Boss Loot, but this week in Borderlands 3, week 2 of the celebration, is the Rare Spawn Hunt week. Grab your weapons, select your builds and get ready to go on the hunt with the help of our locations guide for all the Borderlands 3 Rare Spawn.
Borderlands 3 Rare Spawn Hunt Locations
For those of you who are unaware, Rare Spawns are difficult-to-locate enemies that drop rare and legendary loot when beaten. They’re a part of the main game but, for this week only, they’ll be in greater numbers and far easier to locate. In other words, this is absolutely the best opportunity for players to get their hands on legendary loot!
This guide is here to list all the locations that Rare Spawns WILL appear, the likelihood of them dropping legendary loot doesn’t change but with the number of Rare Spawns you are likely to hunt down with the aid of this guide, the chances of you getting such loot is going to skyrocket.
