how do you farm legendary cryo weapons (freezing) ?

[coffeebrains]

any places you have best luck ? in 3000 hrs of play only seen one ?

in my playtime ive seen none so far, i guess you cant farm, cause the loot is randomized every playthrough

Items are randomly assigned legendaries variables based on the npc that drops them. For example ghouls have a super high chance of dropping legendaries with radiation damage and which increase damage to ghouls.

nope, on the other hand, i want to keep it immersive and i dont care for legendary weapons, i only apply legendary mods to weapons i use myself, but then the ones with "no visial effects" like 50% more damage to humans etc

This is wrong.
You can look at legendaryitemquest in the creation kit.
It is totally random.
The only things that affect it are which DLCs you have installed and your characters level.

is it possible that low level weapons trigger the freezing 10mm and freezing rolling pin cuss i just started a new charactor was at level 12 using a nailed rolling pin killed a legendary cockroach at the 3 radar dishes near vault 111 side of the map had a freezing rolling pin .

soo i think if use a low level weapon on legendary increases the drop rate ? i played 3000 hour never got a freezing legendary until now?

The base item is affected by level, not the legendary ability.
Items are never removed from the list, more (better) item types become available as you level up. (up to level 40 for guns, 33 for melee, 30 for nukaworld raider armor)

The list of legenary abilities available depends on the item type. (Sprinter's only appears on legs, explosive only appears on ballistic weapons, etc.)
You are just taking a small sample size (1 or 2 freezing drops) and confirmation biasing your way to a conculsion that isn't supported by the source code...

The chance for any specific item dropping is low, especially with all the DLC.
(They add a lot more abilities, especially Far Harbor. Most Far Harbor abilities are trash though.)

All the leveled lists and the scripts and quest for generating random legendary items is viewable in the creation kit...
(Each DLC has a hidden quest that starts when the game does and modifies the legendary lists to include DLC items and abilities.)

I get a Legendary Combat Rifle at Lv. 36 with cryo at Fort Strong from a Legendary Super Mutant
behind the locked door to the right.

as a Tip you can always save before you go in regions with Legendary Enemies and reload until they drop the Weapon with the effect you want, but it can take some time
