Fallout 76 legendary mods

Legendary weapons and legendary armor have 1 to 5 special combat/status modifiers (mods), and these items can only be generated by looting legendary enemies. For each legendary "star" an enemy has, that is the maximum possible number of mods that a legendary drop may have. There will always be at least 1 legendary drop on with at least 1 mod from these enemies, and these could be either legendary weapons or a legendary armor. Legendary enemies can and do drop multiple legendary items.

The specific type of legendary mod(s) on each item will be randomly generated from the options in the relevant tables below. The number and type of mods generated are not affected by any SPECIAL traits (e.g. Luck). These mods cannot be obtained elsewhere. You cannot craft/apply these mods for existing weapons, and they are not found in across Appalachia like mods for normal weapons or armor. Legendary items in Fallout 76 cannot be scrapped, but they can be modified, dropped, traded to other players, or sold to vendors. Their durability (repair) and general use function like normal weapons and armor aside from the legendary bonuses.

Legendary weapon modifiers
Legendary weapons can carry up to 3 different modifiers based on the number of stars.


 * A 1-star legendary will have a prefix modifier
 * A 2-star legendary will have a prefix modifier and a major modifier
 * A 3-star legendary will have a prefix modifier, a major modifier, and a minor modifier

Prefix Modifiers
Prefix modifiers modify the name of the weapon. For example, a hunting rifle with the Anti-Armor modifier will be an anti-armor hunting rifle. Prefix modifiers are found on all legendary weapons.

Major Modifiers
A major modifier affects the weapon like a prefix modifier, but will only show up on a 2-star or 3-star weapon. Major modifiers do not affect the name of a weapon.

Minor Modifiers
A minor modifier affects the weapon like a prefix modifier, but will only show up on a 3-star weapon. Minor modifiers do not affect the name of a weapon.

Legendary Armor Modifiers
Much like legendary weapons, legendary armors are able to have modifiers applied to them based on the number of stars they have.

Prefix Modifiers
Prefix Modifiers modify the name of the armor. They are found on all legendary armors.

Major Modifiers
A major modifier affects the armor like a prefix modifier, but will only show up on a 2-star or 3-star armor. Major modifiers generally do not affect the name of a armor.

Minor Modifiers
A minor modifier affects the armor like a prefix modifier, but will only show up on a 3-star armor. Major modifiers do not generally affect the name of an armor.
