Where to find legendary weapons and items in Starfield

If you want to get legendary items easily in Starfield, you have a better chance by playing on higher difficulty levels and taking on harder enemies. The more difficult the game is, the greater your chance of finding legendary gear like weapons, helmets, and spacesuits.

Other methods of obtaining legendary items include crafting and looting objects. On higher difficulties, you are more likely to find legendary items in chests than on easier difficulties. You can also craft legendary items.

To craft a legendary item, you need to apply mods on the weapon or armor piece. When enough mods and attachments are applied, the rarity of the item will turn to legendary. This allows you to turn any weapon into a legendary item whether it is a simple pistol or a laser rifle.

How to farm legendary items in Starfield

Players in Starfield have discovered a legendary farming method that works and can get you legendary items pretty quickly. To do this method, follow the steps below:

1. Locate an area such as a shipyard, station, or building that you must enter.
2. Change the difficulty by going into the gameplay menu.
3. Load into the area.
4. Once inside, change the difficulty back to easy.
5. Defeat all the enemies and search the area.
6. Repeat.

If you load into an area on a higher difficulty, the game believes you are still on that difficulty when you switch it back to easy, allowing you to get better loot without needing to actually play on that difficulty.
