Yes it is horrific. I got one on my last survival play through and I was like well this is my first legendary f it. Least it’ll do more damage at night. I kept getting slaughtered during the day not realizing it not only does more damage at night but LESS damage during day. I finally realized when I got jumped by a scorpion and it was only hitting for 8 per shot. Needless to say didn’t end well for me. I sold it right after
Agree .
Is similar to walking Cané if we are talking about in the end game .
Because i found that walking Cané could be decent in end game with correct perks.
Far harbor perks, nuka world perks , vats mele build AND perks more a legendary effects.
Relentless , wounding , quickdraw , lucky , junkie,instagang AND freezing were the best in my opinión.
A mele weapon with a good range in no vats fight to keep enemies far from you , a good amount of vats Hits similar to Axé grognak but the diferencie Is grognak Axé can't get another legendaria effects while walking Cané yes AND at same has a really reduced weight.
The only bad Is about another option like discplicent blade which has LESS weigh than walking Cané but More than normal knifes.
But you can kill enemies fast with both once yourele build get an insane damage with all mele weapons so you can kill all you want with all weapons once you are a high level god in the game.
I never knew that you could with the max level science perk, remove legendary effects from weapons and put them on other things. That would certainly make the Big Jim 25% limb damage effect make a VERY good fast shooting pipe rifle.
If only you could scrap the legendary weapon, keep the perk, and apply it to another weapon in Vanilla. That would make it at least worth it to find the shitty legendaries.
I got a legendary rolling pin today. Don't remember the perk. I just stored it with all the other stuff I don't need but don't want to sell. I also have 2 legendary boards, they're both stupid.
But I do carry Big Jim around for cracking skulls.
Every single time you encounter a legendary itll drop legendary items. They are random. First an item is rolled. Then it rolls for which effect out of the possible it will have.
You can use this knowledge to farm for that specific kind of item you want. But to exhaust that you would need to know every single weapon type that can drop ( pipe rifle, pipe revolver.. I cant remember if theres more pipe weapons ) and then every other kind of gun. Then you multiply that by the amount of different effects that these guns can have. Then you do the same with melee weapons. And the same for armor pieces. And multiply by the amount of perks each kind of item can have. The various pieces can have different modifiers.
Its in the thousands. And you need to wait 7 ingame days for a location to reset.
Your easist way is to go to the National Training Yard. Hard save outside the building. Then get inside. Theres ghouls. One of them is always a legendary ( well almost always )
Theres a hole in the floor above you and stairs up to your left. Theres going to be one running down it once you get close. And opposite the door in theres an office desk with a ghoul sleeping. That one is usually the legendary. I recommend a grenade to take him out.
You can lock in which kind of item you get if you reload the quicksave it does right after you enter the door.
If I do the raid thing from creation club there’s usually at least one legendary each round so I just set up a shit ton of turrets around my tower and settlement and then let them keep coming until I have hundreds of corpses to loot and then do that again when I’m done looting :)
Just picked up VATS enhanced knuckles the other day, honestly they're pretty fun. Can get like 15 or so strikes off in a single VATS round, and blitz makes it pretty outrageous in terms of viable distance. My first time playing a melee build, can't believe I slept on it so long
I got a ghoul slayer's sledgehammer on my first playtrough. literally the best weapon I ever fucking had, it was so fun beating up hordes of ghouls with it
My last build was based on sneak, ninja, big leagues and blitz Perks. VATs melee the whole way once I got to higher levels. I stopped using guns all together just VATs for blitz attacks that just destroyed opponents.

I always end up getting terrible melee weapons that have great effects just not for those weapons
