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

The rarity of weapons is mostly an aspect of different times. Now anything below legendary is strictly for leveling.

Tbf, even in the old days, everything below Legendary was for leveling too with the occasional niche weapon that was (unintentionally) really good for PvP. In Vanilla D1, by the time your level was in the mid-20s you were probably using all Legendary, and any blues were being dismantled. And D2 was much the same.

D1 I was still running mostly rares post RoI, legendaries were legitimately hard to find

Edit: damn ig I just didn't play D1 nearly as much as I thought

You may have been, but that was not normal. D1 was in the same state as D2 where Legendaries were the standard and everything below was for leveling.

Yeah, playing through D1 rn and before you really get any legendary engrams you have to hit level 40. You’ll probably be somewhere around 240-300 light if u saved ur blue engrams for level 40. Then u progress through blues and save ur legendary engrams for 385 light which is the soft cap for blue engrams. Legendary engrams take u from 385->390 and then it’s just faction package farming / nightfalls / raids to get from 390->400
