Run the Bunker for The Sham and Bitch pool

Repeat the BNK-3R fight for another chance at its dedicated gear pool and other useful arena drops.

PC / Global, base game and released DLC
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

BNK-3R arena in The Bunker, Thousand Cuts, after the story opens the map.

BNK-3R’s dedicated pool includes The Sham and Bitch, making the Bunker a useful repeat encounter when either item could improve your build. Neither is guaranteed, so collect and check the full drop pile each run. The story checkpoint makes it possible to reset near the arena instead of replaying the approach.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Complete the story mission that opens the Bunker.
  • Bring a loadout for BNK-3R and its arena.
  • Leave inventory space for several possible drops.
  1. Travel to Thousand Cuts and enter The Bunker.
  2. Proceed to the BNK-3R arena.
  3. Destroy BNK-3R and inspect its drops for The Sham, The Bitch, and other gear.
  4. Collect useful items and compare them with your current equipment.
  5. Save and quit after sorting the arena loot.
  6. Continue the same character; return to the Bunker map and repeat the fight.

Farming tips

  • Treat both named items as possibilities from the pool, not guaranteed drops.
  • You may already know this encounter from the Sham farm; check for the Bitch as another target while you are there.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable after the story opens the Bunker: defeat BNK-3R, loot, save-quit, and continue. Item drops vary between runs.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming either The Sham or The Bitch is guaranteed; keep repeating only if the item is still useful.
  • Rushing away before checking the drops; inspect the full arena loot before resetting.
  • Confusing a broad Bunker loot run with a guaranteed named item; use it as a chance-based pool farm.

When to stop or switch

Stop when one of the target items is good enough for your build or when neither remains a useful upgrade.
