Weekly Big Encore Boss
The Weekly Big Encore Boss is a tougher variant of an existing boss with an even more rewarding loot pool.
Weekly Wildcard Missions
Weekly Wildcard Missions add challenging new traits to an existing mission. These missions feature a guaranteed Legendary drop that you can repeatedly earn to get your ideal roll.
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine
Go in search of where the Black Market Vending Machine has moved to and discover what’s available in your game every week. Remember, while the location is the same, your vending machine items are different from other players, so ask around to see if someone has the item you’re looking for!
You can read more on the weekly changes in our endgame overview post.
