Fallout 76 legendary mods

In Fallout 76, Legendary weapons, Legendary armor and Legendary power armor, collectively known as Legendary items, are items with special, permanent modifiers applied.

Overview
Legendary items have one or more randomly determined special modifications, affecting combat or character stats. Legendary items may be earned as quest or Daily Ops rewards, looted from Legendary enemies, bought from Purveyor Murmrgh or crafted with Legendary modules.

Legendary effects
For detailed information on the Legendary effects applicable to each type of item, see the portal below:

Characteristics
Three tiers of legendary modifiers exist for both weapons and armor. A Tier 1 modifier appears on all legendary items, taking up the first "star." The modifier will be added to legendary weapon's dynamic naming as a prefix. Tier 2 modifiers comprise the second star of a legendary item and Tier 3 modifiers comprise the third. In general, Tier 2 and Tier 3 modifiers don't affect a legendary item's name. Legendary weapons and armor use different sets of modifiers and cannot use modifiers from the other's item type.

Although additional legendary modifier slots exist (Tier 4 and Tier 5 modifiers, respectively), 4 and 5-star legendary items are disabled. However, the Tier 4 and Tier 5 legendary effects are used in many of the quest-specific unique legendary weapons and armors, such as Perfect Storm or All Rise.

Legendary items can have a maximum of one modifier per category, based on the number of stars:
 * A 1-star legendary will have a Tier 1 modifier.
 * A 2-star legendary will have a Tier 1 modifier and a Tier 2 modifier.
 * A 3-star legendary will have a Tier 1 modifier, a Tier 2 modifier, and a Tier 3 modifier.


 * The number and type of effects generated are not affected by any SPECIAL stats, such as Luck.
 * Legendary effects are randomly generated upon crafting or dropping. They cannot be found as loose mods.
 * Certain unique items have predetermined Legendary effects.
 * Legendary items cannot be scrapped at a workbench, but they may be placed in a legendary exchange machine for Legendary scrip.
 * Aside from their provided effects, Legendary items otherwise have the same statistics as non-Legendary items. They may be equipped with the same mods as non-Legendary variants.
 * Almost every Legendary item may be dropped, traded to other players or sold to vendors for caps.

Restrictions
A majority of the weapons in Fallout 76 can be obtained as legendary items, however, there are a great many restrictions on what can and cannot appear as a Legendary item.

Some items cannot be obtained as legendary versions without knowing the relevant plan. These items cannot drop from legendary enemies, but can still be obtained via crafting, Purveyor, Daily Ops rewards or rewarded by Scorched Earth and season events, such as Fasnacht. The following lists contain items that may only appear as legendary items after learning the prerequisite plan.
