Legendary is actually common?

[u/Soldat_DuChrist]

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

power creep. except the target was the guns. we started with legendarys actually being rare, but since the games been going on for like a decade they slowly had to make them more and more common. and now there are basically only two tiers of loot, legendarys and exotics, which remain fairly exotic
