Can legendary mods be removed from weapons?

[FlintX]

Sometimes I get stuck with lower level weapons, like with weapons that are 10 levels below my character level because their legendary mods kinda makes them stronger than if I craft a new one for my current level.

I was wondering if there is a way to transfer legendary mods to the new ones instead of having to forge new mods directly on them.

No. Legendary mods are permanent once applied. You can re roll again but it will simply reset your legendary rolls for new ones. You cannot transfer legendary rolls from one weapon to another.

Not sure what level you are, but it is best to wait until after level 50 to start using legendary crafting. All weapons and armour are at max level by then so you will not be modding items that will quickly become useless as they are much lower level than you are.

Yep, better save your scripts for level 50 and up ... , alot of legendary crafting to do, specially if you add a PA in your build ... .

For additional clarification, unlike FO4 where you took a mod from item A and applied it to item B. Mods are destroyed when you remove or replace them.

I see. Thanks for the info.

In a way yes, on the other hand... play what's fun!
Having a decent weapon for 10 levels might be a good thing, if you level slow and do all the stuff, for instance.
Could argue, e.g. in case of wood armor, getting a good legendary piece earlier on, will hold much longer than 10 levels. E.g. i'm still wearing a level 35 piece around 520+. Of course you might then want some specialized armor available later on, and grind to hell. Still i went a long way in terms of caps, to acquire more than a full set of wood armor with AP and weight reduction. (Due to stupidity i had some unnecessary weight reduction in, because i played with "batteries included" at level 2 for too long. Then the food weight backpack...)
