Legendary Drop Rate - Am I Missing Something?

[DigitalFarce]

Level 29 - Half way through World Tier 11. I've got... 1 Legendary. That was back at Level 21 and I long since destroyed that item. What good is a +360% Legendary drop rate on Tier 11 when the percentage seems so insanely low?

Am I missing something?

Okay so the legendary drop rate for the World Tier is useless and doesn't actually seem to do anything. You can play through the entire campaign at WT15 and see maybe 1 legendary.

Yikes. That's just horrid design.

You miss that the drop rate for legendarys is "good" at max lvl end content in expeditions....which is absolutly dumb because when you already can clear the "endgame" in gold times you dont even need those legendarys anymore or the mods from it

I have gotten 2 in 24 hours, not to bad imo, I don't want it easy to get em

Funny thing for me, the drop rate was low, until I did the bunker missions. After I opened the last blast door, and finished the room , I was showered with 11 legendarys. ...A bug? After that, the drop rate was even worse. And now, I'm doing expeditions and getting none.

Played through to lvl 30 with all 4 different classes at max tier the whole time and got 2 legendarys, unfortunately muchacho this is a looter shooter and the drop rate for them is what you would expect it to be, normally in a game like this about 0.4 percent chance if not lower, amazes me people expect them to be dropping everywhere, have you ever played a looter shooter before ?.

LOL! Ever since I did that room, I no joke mainly just get blue drops.. on WT11! Hardly any epics even.

There are 10 guaranteed.

360% of 000000000000000000000000000000000000000.0000001%

Redoing the bounties and hunts gets you a legendary every time you complete them. Not the most ideal but it's something.

Exactly :) Seems like the percentages are so low, the uptick in WT doesn't matter.

Yeah. Been doing that. Seems the hunt ones are rigged to just be the worst you can get. I did them like 8 times each and got 4 duplicate weapons and absolute rubbish armor with even worse mods on em.

On which level/WT? I've done all the side missions/hunts/etc up to The Gate and haven't gotten a single Legendary from those.

If you do the hunts, you can turn them all in, don't exit the menu and look at the shop, it'll show what you got. If you ALT-F4 you can exit out and try for a different legendary(don't close the shop with Noah). Slow going but that way you can try to get armor you want. Doing Expeditions you more or less get showered with them after about CT13. Despite what people say you don't really need legendaries to clear them.

You need to do T15 Expeditions. You can get up to 3-4 Legendaries from the drop pod per run if you're lucky.
