In Fallout 76, Legendary items are weapons, armor, and power armor that have 1 or more Legendary mods slotted into them. Legendary items are identified by one or more stars (★) in their names where the number of stars are determined by the number of slotted Legendary mods for that item. These Legendary mods provide stat bonuses to the item or character or other special effects that typically trigger in combat.

Overview

Legendary items may drop as loot from Legendary enemies, purchased from Purveyor Murmrgh, or rewarded from events, quests, Daily Ops or Expeditions. Additionally, Legendary crafting provides the ability to add Legendary mods to a non-Legendary item, craft Legendary mods and slot them into a Legendary item, and craft unique Legendary items with predetermined configurations of Legendary mods.

Characteristics

Legendary items possess 1 or more Legendary mods and have a star rank equivalent to the number of these mods. These Legendary mods in turn have their own star ranks, equivalent to the 1 of 5 Legendary slots they are designed to fit into, e.g. Bloodied is a 1-star mod since it can only fit into the 1-star slot on a weapon. An item cannot simultaneously possess 2 or more mods in a specific slot, e.g. Explosive and Rapid are both 2-star weapon mods and the last to be attached to the weapon will overwrite the other.

The name of a Legendary item is prefixed by the name of its 1-star Legendary mod. In general, 2-star and 3-star mods do not change a Legendary item's name.

While 5-star mod slots are currently unused by randomly dropped or crafted items, they are occupied by custom mods used by various quest-specific unique legendary weapons and armors, such as Perfect Storm or All Rise.
