Like previous updates, the Gleaming Depths update for Fallout 76 introduces many new and welcome changes to the game.

How to get a 4 star legendary item

It is not possible to roll a 4-star legendary item. but, A fourth effect can be applied to an existing weapon or armor piece, provided the player has the means to craft it.In order to craft a 4-star legendary effect, you need the 4-star effect box mod. You'll also need some resources. Resources depend on the mode you are trying to craft. Items range from junk items and pure water to certain serums and vault steel. There are a total of 30 4-star legendary effects. 14 is for weapons, and 16 is made to go in weapons and power armor pieces.


These box mods are a bit harder to get. While they can be traded between players, because they are new, and very rare, if you want to buy one from another player, then you are willing to spend a lot to get one.

As with all other legendary effects in the game, players have a small chance of getting a 4-star legendary box mod when scraping a 4-star legendary item. There is also a small chance for the player to learn how to make a box mod themselves. However, the chances are incredibly slim.

You get 4-star legendary items by completing raids. Raid is the newest game mode introduced Fallout 76. It is aimed at high-level players and those who work well as part of a team. There has been a lot of talk on various online forums about the 4-star enemies that can be found in Appalachia. However, this appears to be untrue. While this feature was being tested, 4-star enemies could spawn outside of raids. But, for now, at least, it looks like players can only pick up 4-star legendary items by raiding.

As for legendary armor effects, it is divided into two categories; Standard Armor and Power Armor. That said, some box mods can be applied to both regular armor and power armor pieces. While value is subjective, 4-star legendary armor mods are slightly more valuable than most 4-star weapon mods. All 4-star legendary armor effects can be seen in the table below:

Aegis, Reflective, Rejuvenator's, and Ranger's are seen as the most valuable box mods for armor pieces. As mentioned in the Weapons section above, the values ​​will change and eventually go down as more players get their hands on these mods by completing raids. Each box mod can only be applied to one piece of armor, grinding to get a specific box mod for each piece of armor is long. However, if you're lucky enough to unlock the ability to craft one of the more desirable armor effects, then putting together a full set of top-tier 4-star legendary armor won't be that difficult.
