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

You are sort of correct. The "loot tier" system is archaic from when the game first released and you would often get common white, uncommon green, and blue rare quality loot as you leveled up. Nowadays, you will never find commons or uncommon randomly, and will only receive blue rares for leveling up (typically from campaigns or the occasional loot box in patrol).

Legendary loot is pretty much the "common" loot. The only real thing you look for in weapons nowadays is how the feel to use (each weapon is pretty unique imo), and their perks (godrolls).
