In Outriders, an exploit has now been discovered that allows players to manipulate which legendary item they receive as a reward. They manipulate the game’s save system to do this.
That’s why legendaries are so sought after: They are the rarest weapons and armor in the game. Legendaries also have special attributes due to rank 3 modifications, which favor certain playstyles.
Through Outriders’ crafting system, these mods can be extracted and attached to other weapons and armor. Although they are usually hard to obtain, there is currently a way to choose the rare items.
What kind of exploit is this? It is related to the quest lines Historian, Hunt, and Wanted. These are repeatable quest lines, with 10 of each. Completing all 10 will reward players with a legendary item for each quest line.
However, these are random items. The exploit enables players to manipulate the save system.
According to known rules, this exploit could fall into a gray area. However, the risk still exists. MeinMMO advises you to stay away from the exploit.

How does it work? The exploit functions in conjunction with quest rewards and a repeated reset of the quests.
Why do it at all? Especially for those looking for specific mods or armor pieces to complete their set or build, such an exploit is tempting.
