One of the main features of the gameis the Legendary Effects available in it. These enhancers change and essentially upgrade a weapon or armor it is applied to. Although every Legendary Effect has some use, not every one of the effects is viable. Here are 10 Legendary Effects inFallout 76that are best suited for armor.
Updated on August 3rd, 2021 by Josh Davison:Despite a rocky start, Fallout 76 has managed to find solid footing and has become a rather beloved and widely enjoyed addition to the series as well as the particularMMOspace that it occupies. Despite the changes that the game has experienced, one thing remains the same: Legendary Effects are vital. Some can make a very dramatic difference to one’s game experience, though not all Legendary Effects are created equal. There are plenty of Legendary Effects that just don’t make enough of an improvement, so it’s important to know which ones are the best of the best and worth applying to any given armor. With these equipped, you should be on your way to having some of the best armor inFallout 76.
15Powered Increases Action Point Regeneration Speed
The Action Point system is theFalloutseries' version of stamina, and it dictates how often the player can run, jump, and use the V.A.T.S system. VA.T.S. is a different animal inFallout 76, as it auto-aims at an opponent rather than slowing downtime to let the player decide how they’re going to attack.
The Powered Legendary Effect increases the regeneration of Action Points so that the player is never too low on stamina and can be vital for surviving out in the Wasteland and makes it easier to get around.
14Mutant Slayer Helps The Player Against Super Mutants
Super Mutants are one of the most pervasive and dangerous threats in the Wasteland, and they have proven to be the death of many aFalloutplayer. Thankfully, there is a Legendary Effect that makes surviving a Super Mutant attack much easier.
The Mutant Slayer’s Legendary Effect reduces damage suffered by a Super Mutant’s attack by 15%. This can be the difference between life and death when facing down these burly green beasts.
13Diver’s Makes The Wastelander Amphibious
Sometimes one doesn’t know how useful a perk or ability can be until they need it, and that is certainly the case with the Diver’s Legendary Effect.
This one is simple; it allows the player to breathe underwater. The Wasteland ofFallout 76isn’t the most aquatic place in the world, but being able to survive indefinitely underwater is always a useful talent to have.
12Acrobat Keeps A Long Drop From Killing The Player
In a similar manner, fall damage can be a surprise killer for many a player, and that goes for just about every modern videogame franchise under the sun. Thankfully, there’s a Legendary Effect for that as well.
The Acrobat’s Legendary Effect reduces fall damage by 50%, which is a massive reduction compared to many other Legendary Effects of this kind. Stopping fall damage can save a Wastelander’s life, especially if they’re trying to make use of a jetpack.
11Life Saving Gives The Player One Last Saving Throw
Sometimes a player can just get caught off-guard, out-gunned, or otherwise brutalized by enemies out in the Wasteland. Sometimes one gets incapacitated and needs a leg up. The Life Saving Legendary Effect can resolve such situations without any outside help.
When a player is downed, the Life Saving Effect has a 50% chance of administering a Stimpack and getting the player back into the fight. However, this can only happen once a minute, so try not to get downed again after that first Live Saving Stimpack.
10Auto-Stim Provides A Life-Saving Stimpack When Needed
A very frequently used Legendary Effect inFallout 76, Auto-Stim will allow users to automatically apply a Stimpak when the health is below 25%. This is great for long runs and when a player is going against a hoard of enemies.
A drawback is that Stimpak usage is limited to one per every sixty seconds, so players can’t exploit the item by constantly dropping below 25% health. Auto-Stim is also avery basic Legendary Effect that isn’t hard to obtain.
9Chameleon Blends A Wastelander Into Their Environment
Best suited for players that like to sneak around without garnering any extra attention. The enhancement will allow you to blend with the environment, creating perfect stealth. However, it is to be noted that Chameleon only works when the user is not moving and staying still.
The enhancement is also great for dodging enemies after they have been altered about your position. Chameleon is great when paired up with Regeneration Legendary Effect.
8Weightless Gives A Player Mobile Freedom
Weightless is great for players that like to constantly hop from one place to another. It essentially reduces the player’s character weight by 90% and does not count as armor for Chameleon mutation. Weightless will allow players to make easy movements, and overall the combat becomes much easier.

However, the Legendary Effect doesn’t provide any resistance, and players should only drift towards Weightless when they are packed on other resistances.
7Regenerating Gives The Player Must-Needed Longevity
One of the best Legendary Effects to use, Regenerating allows a player to heal whenever they are out of combat. The enhancement is great for sustaining health in the game and one of the best for doing so. It also minimizes the need for healing items, which ultimately improves the economy and saves a lot of inventory space.
You can constantly go in and out of a fight, and keep on regenerating health for some easy kills.
6Vanguard’s Makes The Player The Tank Of The Wasteland
The more health you have the more resistances you will gain. Vanguard’s is a vital Legendary Effect for players that like to opt for a tank build. It also grants up to 35 damagewhich makes it a very versatile perk.
Pair Vanguard’s with Regeneration and you have a proper powerhouse tank build that is very hard to take down. It is also one of the most commonly used Legendary Effects.
