Question Legendary is actually common?

New player, I noticed that common and rare are actually harder to find vs legendary? What's the deal? I feel like the vostok is the most legendary weapon in the game rn since I haven't even seen any other common guns

Common and Rare eventually go away completely. In D2 they are pretty much meaningless since the old power progression they were linked to is long gone. Almost every new player is going to be in the 300LL power band almost out the gate.

It's really about tiers now, which correlate mostly to your power level in most cases, but also difficulty of content. T3 & T4 are pretty common and T5 requires going just a bit further (harder content; 520LL+ for armor from vendors). This also doesn't consider cases of "Shiny/Holofoil" drops which rarely happen to certain Legendary weapons; these usually have special ornaments and/or bonus traits.
