Notes

• Each manufacturer has one (and usually exactly one) legendary weapon for each weapon type it manufactures.
• Orange weapons with inherent elemental properties are especially strong because they provide the elemental effects with no loss of damage rating (or sometimes even an increase), unlike normal elemental accessory parts that reduce damage by up to 40% in exchange for elemental properties. However, this only applies to orange weapons that inherently possess a specific element, like the Atlas Ogre or Maliwan Hellfire. Orange weapons that do not inherently come in a specific element can occasionally be randomly generated with various elemental accessories, but these will result in a reduced base damage rating, as normal.
• All legendary weapons can be acquired from any loot source (this is referred to as a "world drop").
