Everywhere in Fallout 76, you can find, buy, or loot weapons. However, the best weapons in the game are legendary weapons with unique names and special effects. Here you will find them.
This is what makes legendary items special: Legendary equipment in Fallout 76 differs from regular items by its name and properties. Most legendary items have effects, such as increased damage against specific targets or improved base stats, compared to their standard versions.

The Voice of Set then deals even more damage and has the chance to stun robots. The Sword of Bastet gains even greater armor penetration.
Finding and farming legendary weapons
Some weapons are available from traders, legendary enemies, or events. These enemies are often rare, and the weapons at the merchants are not always available. Events also appear randomly on the map.
Many players use a trick to effectively get the weapons they want. They use the server technology of Fallout 76 to quickly change phases through “server hopping” to search for the desired items.
With the latest patch for Fallout 76 from December 4th, “server hopping” has become slightly less attractive. Many enemies now give less experience. In the undocumented patch notes, there is also a nerf for the technique. Looted containers remain empty when switching servers.
