Whats the most common Legendary Weapon you come accross
From my farming experience the Equalizer and Raven are the most common legendary weapons i come across.
Thanatos are not far behind
I also find a reasonable amount of Defilers and Volcanoes and Hellfires but usually of lesser power to my current
On the other end of the spectrum Ogres are pretty rare but the most rarest weapons i have come accross are the Troll and the Reaper. I have only come across 2 Trolls and 1 Reaper. As i dont like pistols i sold both as to me they were quite useless. Since i sold them i have not come across any more of these weapons. I do believe i have screen shots of the Troll and Reaper and will post them in Gunpedia soon
Any other experiences in terms of the rarity of Legendary Weapons?
Yup Chimeras are rare. I will make a list of my observation here is the break up
Rarest - Less then 3
Very Rare - less then 5
Rare - less then 10
Uncommon - Less then 20
Common - 21+
My opinion of the usefulness of each weapon after experience using them
Extremely Useful - Best weapon in its class, A weapon that can be considered a main weapon in any arsenal. Extremely powerful. Can be used in practically all situations.
Very Useful - Offers well rounded capable weapon that can take on most targets. Very powerful, Can be good as a frontline weapon or as a powerful backup weapon.
Useful - A good gun with some weaknesses but still effective. Good power. Excellent back up weapon
Usable - Offers decent firepower and can be a good back up weapon
Useless - Couldnt find in my testing a good use for the weapon. Other guns (even common guns) simply outclass it. If you can avoid using these weapons. Again its my opinion only
Alien Rifles-
I not seen 4 Alien rifles in all my times of farming these are
Eridian Firestorm
Eridian Shock Rifle
Eridian Elemantal Rifle
Eridian Acid Storm
I have however seen every Orange/Pearlescent weapon legally available in the game. I have included the Dahl Penetrator because its a kick assweapon and should have been marked as Orange.

I've actually found more skullmashers than sniper cobras, but they're both very rare, moreso than most stuff. But yeah, most everything else seems about right.
Penetrators aren't as rare as you think. Mostly folks don't notice them because they can be Green, Blue, or Purple. That makes a big difference in seeing what's what. I've owned and found at least 8 Penetrators but only found 1 cobra and 2 skullmashers on my own.
I found almost 10 Penetrators and kept 5. I always check every weapon on the field especially if there sniper rifles. Skullmashers arent that great. They fire way to slow for my liking.
I constantly find Pestilent Defilers. I think I've had almost every combination of them.
Voodoo, your friend is a filthy, filthy liar as well. Those guns weren't found in skag piles, they were made by a hacker who hacked the guns into the game.
And it's not even a little obvious. Those are totally, completely, and without a doubt, super hacked.
Either way, those guns in no way count. SHUN the hacked guns. SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN...
...Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I understand what you're saying, but we both rented the game at the same time and played private online, hes NO hacker lol believe me. We got the game at the same time you know? I'm not sure about how the hacking process works but I watched the thing pop out of the skag pile guys, is it possible for a hacker to make that happen? You can call me the liar because I saw it happen which is why im posting here today. I dont mean to insult anyones intelligence neither I understand how incredibly impossible this is.... or is it. I would like to know who else has come across an item this powerful and how they came across it.
Im pretty sure your friend is lying to you then because weapons of that magnitude just dont happen in the game (legally). Either that or your game or console is hacked or has been compromised in someway.
Look at some of the guns you have, looks like it has invisible parts. Why would the game have that? Its obvious something is not right. Well it is entirely possible for someone to do something to the guns generating code so that it doesnt have limitations to the combination of parts. I dont know if this is possible but if your game is producing guns like these then this maybe confirmation that it is indeed possible to hack the gun generator in the game.
BTW its not that hard to hack this game. There is a section here on Modding too. Ive read it and it seems easy enough to hack, and doesnt require a programmer either, just a simple program and its that simple. Just because you think your friend cant do it doesnt mean its not possible for him to do it. And as Salen pointed out these guns are WAY WAY over powered. The most powerful Stomper i have seen after 2 months of legal farming (mostly new haven) is 348, with 18 shot clip and 91 accuracy. Thats not even in the same ballpark as your stomper stomper. I have NEVER seen even 1 example of a Combat rifle that does x3 let alone shoots rockets. So even if you believe your friend it is with no doubt that the guns you have are infact the product of obscene Modding.
Hyperion Destroyer, Common ? Well I don't find them as easily as you do, found a regular one and a corrosive one, The Ogre was the rarest I found in the Riffle section, found it out of New Heaven, in the "Hut" place where theirs always those Bandit near by the Rust common West entrance, good place if you're looking for Riffles ;)





im sorta in line with what youre saying. equalizers (any of the ammo regen ones really, guardians and saviors too), hellfires and volcanoes are the ones i find most often. ive still actually never come across an ogre myself, the one time one showed up i was in coop and it benefitted my buddy more than me so he took it. ive also only come across one chimera pistol, and have yet to come across a skullmasher myself but based on posts here that may just be bad luck.
