Fallout – Can we find legendary heavy armor pieces

fallout-4

I've realized that all of the legendary stuff that I found are always standard armor pieces.

Is it possible to have for example a " legendary heavy synth chest piece " ?

Best Answer

Yes, it is perfectly possible.

The legendary loot pool is based on enemy level, to a certain extent. This is why legendary enemies at the beginning tend to drop a bunch of melee or pipe weapon legendarys, while enemies at the South East of the map will drop Fat Men and Assault Rifles.

The tier of armour dropped is also level based. As such, your best bet is to kill legendary enemies at the South-East extent of the map.

For PC Players: There was a mod on the Nexus that I found some time that adjusted Legendary loot lists so that they would always be relevant and not based on level of the legendary dropping it, but I'm having some difficulty finding it at the moment.
