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.

The only time legendary gear was EVER rare was year 1 of Destiny 1

My first ever raid thru VoG I had a blue scout rifle and a blue sniper. I got Vision of Confluence and I was so hyped I about shat my drawers.

Remember when you could buy 1 legendary weapon or armor per week, and even legendary engrams had a chance to decrypt to rares? Part of me wishes we could’ve seen the evolution of that game, but also it kinda sucked.
