Borderlands 3 farming combines dedicated drops from bosses and named enemies with broad world-drop runs, Mayhem progression and repeatable endgame arenas. Eridium supports cosmetics and gear rerolls, while the Maliwan and Guardian Takedowns offer longer challenge routes. Use Mayhem difficulty that your build can clear consistently.
