Grease TrapHow to get it?

Revenge of the Cartels Event
General Farming Guidance

To collect and equip the Legendary Grease Trap, you need to own the BL3 Revenge of the Cartels Event.

Like all of the three Borderlands 3 events, Revenge of the Cartels was added to the base game on June 24, 2021.
You can enable one of the three events at a time in the main menu ▸ Play.

To efficiently farm the exclusive Revenge of the Cartel items, follow these steps:

Accept Maurice's quest near Hammerlock's room on Sanctuary III.
The quickest place to collect 30 Decoder Rings is at Carnivora's entrance.
Proceed to Villa Ultraviolet and defeat two mini-bosses. Those won't reappear in the final fight.
Joey Ultraviolet will spawn with two random mini-bosses.
To reroll them, exit to the main menu and reload the game.
To farm the desired mini-bosses, simply die or fast travel to respawn them.
As long as you don't kill Joey and stay in the game, the same mini-bosses will keep respawning.
