In Fallout 76, legendary mods are a crucial part of enhancing your weapons and armor, allowing you to customize your gear with specific effects. These mods were introduced as part of the Milepost Zero update, which significantly revamped the legendary crafting system. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to obtain and use legendary mods in Fallout 76.

Obtaining Legendary Mods

There are two primary ways to obtain legendary mods:

1. Scrapping Legendary Items:

   • You can scrap legendary armor and weapons at any workbench to obtain legendary mods.

   • Each star on the item gives you a 1.5% chance to receive a legendary mod, so a three-star item provides three chances.

   • Scrapping also gives you Legendary Scrip, which is essential for crafting and modifying legendary items.

2. Trading with Other Players:

   • If you don't have the mod you want, you can trade with other players who have it.

Crafting Legendary Mods

Once you have a legendary mod plan, you can craft the mod at the Tinker's Workbench. Here's what you need to do:

1. Gather Ingredients:

   • Most legendary mods require 15 Legendary Modules for Tier 1 mods and more for higher tiers.

   • Additional ingredients vary depending on the mod, such as Black Titanium, Bubblehead Caps, or Stealth Boys.

2. Craft the Mod:

   • Use the Tinker's Workbench to craft the mod once you have all the necessary ingredients.

In Fallout 76, obtaining and crafting legendary mods is a crucial part of enhancing gameplay, but it often requires a significant amount of resources, including Fallout 76 caps. While caps are not directly used to craft mods, they can be essential for trading with other players for necessary materials like Legendary Scrip or modules. Additionally, caps can help you purchase items from vendors that indirectly support your mod crafting journey, such as buying junk to scrap for materials needed for legendary mod plans. This strategic use of caps can streamline your progress towards acquiring the right mods for your gear.

Applying Legendary Mods

After crafting or obtaining a legendary mod, you can apply it to your gear:

1. Modifying Weapons and Armor:

   • Use the Armor or Weapons workbench to attach the mod to a legendary item.

   • This process requires Legendary Scrip, and the cost increases each time you replace a mod.

2. Tier Restrictions:

   • You can only add mods that match the Tier level of your item. For example, a Tier 1 mod can be added to a Tier 1 legendary item.

Tips for Crafting Legendary Mods

• Focus on Specific Effects: Legendary mods allow you to create "god rolls" by selecting the exact effects you want on your weapons and armor.

• Manage Your Resources: Legendary Modules are crucial for crafting mods, so participate in events that reward these modules to stock up.

• Experiment with Combinations: With relaxed restrictions on weapon mods, you can now explore a wide range of mod combinations to create powerful legendary gear.

By following these steps and tips, you can effectively obtain and use legendary mods in Fallout 76, enhancing your gameplay experience with customized gear that suits your playstyle.
