Notes[edit | edit source]
- The Dragon is no longer available in the normal legendary loot pool. 1, 2 and 3-star legendary versions dropped normally like any other weapon initially, but later could only be found in Vault 94 vault raids prior to their closing in Wastelanders. Currently, only 1-star versions can be rarely obtained via the randomized "Nuclear Surprise!!!" option in the S.M.A.R.T. choice machine. 2 and 3-star versions are now legacy weapons.
