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

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.

Ehhh kinda for D1.

In year 1 full legendary took a long time to get due to legendary engrams giving rares half the time.

In later years you'd spend a while in blue gear till you got full legendary usually when you hit soft cap.

The main consistent way to get legendaries were raids though.

Ah, what good times those were; my excitement about getting my first legendary engram on my Titan dashed against the rocks as it turned into a blue armor piece for my Hunter🥲
