WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Frost Bottom in the How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day Headhunter pack, reached from Marcus’s Mercenary Shop.

Tinder Snowflake is a repeatable source of mixed equipment through the Loot Train. The supported use of this route for cash is to keep useful drops and sell the surplus; the train itself is not established here as an Eridium source. This optional Headhunter farm needs its own pack and mission progress, so it is separate from base-game boss runs.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Own the How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day Headhunter pack.
  • Complete its mission path to unlock repeat access to Tinder Snowflake.
  • Leave inventory space to collect and compare the train’s gear.
  1. Fast travel to Marcus’s Mercenary Shop and follow the marked route to Frost Bottom.
  2. Enter the arena and ring the bell to begin the Tinder Snowflake encounter.
  3. Defeat Tinder Snowflake and wait for the Loot Train to arrive.
  4. Open the train chests and collect the gear you want to inspect.
  5. Compare each item with your current equipment; keep useful upgrades and duplicates you want to retain.
  6. Take unwanted gear to a vending machine and sell it for cash.
  7. Save and quit, continue the character, and return to the arena if you want another run.

Farming tips

  • Treat the train as a mixed gear reward: its contents vary, and this route is not a supported Eridium farm.
  • Confirm that the pack is How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day; TK Baha’s Bloody Harvest is different content.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable after the Headhunter mission path unlocks the encounter. Each cycle is a boss fight and Loot Train chest check; sell surplus gear for cash. It is not a guaranteed source of any particular item or currency.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting Eridium from the train; collect its gear and sell unwanted pieces for cash instead.
  • Leaving before opening the train chests; inspect the reward before resetting.
  • Starting without the Mercenary Day pack; the arena is Headhunter DLC content.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have enough cash or the train no longer offers gear worth keeping; switch to another activity if your goal is specifically Eridium.
