The hunt for Legendary gear is a relentless activity for most Vault Hunters in Borderlands 4. These rare weapons, shields, and class mods are crucial to building up one's class for the endgame. In this latest installment of Borderlands, Gearbox Software has completely overhauled the farming system, giving players far more control over which items they accumulate.
In previous titles of the franchise, it was impossible for players to fight a boss over and over without reloading the game. Borderlands 4 introduces Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine, which allows players to refight any boss as many times as they want, making Legendary gear farming more accessible than ever before.
What is Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine in Borderlands 4?
Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine is a new system in Borderlands 4 that makes the game much more entertaining. You can find its station near every major boss area on Kairos. Once you have defeated a boss, you can rerun the fight for a fee or in exchange for some resources. This allows you to farm specific boss drops.

Cost of replaying boss fights
The cost of every fight through Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine scales with your specific level, keeping the experience challenging and rewarding:
- Story bosses, Order Bunkers, and Ripper Drill Sites: The cost of fighting these foes increases 2.33% per level you have, capped at 30,000 cash once you have reached level 50.
- Main Bosses (Ripper Queen Callis, Idolator, Vile Lictor, Timekeeper, and Vault Bosses): Requires more fee to fight bosses, which caps at 40,000 cash at level 50.
- Weekly Big Encore Bosses: These endgame variants of bosses cost more cash and Eridium. They reward higher-quality loot and have a much higher Legendary drop rate.
Having a tight scaling for each encounter grants you a balanced farming experience throughout the game.
