Fallout 4 Overview This page lists all creatures in Fallout 4.
Legendary creatures
Most creature types have a chance to spawn as a legendary variant, as well as tiered named variants leading up to the legendary creature. A legendary creature will almost always drop a weapon or armor piece with unique modifiers (marked in the Pip-Boy inventory with a star). For more information on these modifications, see legendary weapon and legendary armor effects.
In combat, legendary creatures are very powerful, as they are stronger than their non-legendary counterpart (see below for specific differences). They are often among the highest-leveled variants the Sole Survivor will run into at their particular level. For example, at level 30 it seems more likely to encounter a legendary super mutant brute (approx. level 22) than a legendary super mutant (approx. level 10), but the lower-level encounter is still possible.
If the damage from a weapon is not high enough to kill a legendary enemy and they survive a hit with less than 50% of their health remaining, they will mutate. This causes them to regain all health. A mutated legendary enemy gains a glowing aura to show that it has mutated.
Spawn chance table
The standard base chance of a creature spawning as Legendary increases with player level (managed by the LegendaryChanceQuest):
| Player Level | Normal Legendary Chance % |
|---|---|
| 0 - 5 | 0% |
| 6 - 20 | 10% |
| 21 - 30 | 12% |
| 31 - 40 | 15% |
| 41 - 50 | 18% |
| 50+ | 20% |
The chance of a creature spawning as Legendary increases with a harder game difficulty setting. The default difficulty is always Normal.
| Difficulty | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Very Easy | 0.25 |

| Normal | 1 |
| Hard | 1.25 |
