In the Fallout 76 Steel Reign update, you can apply Legendary Upgrades to your gear. We've already got a complete, detailed guide to the Legendary Upgrade system for you to read.

To upgrade your gear to Legendary status, you need Legendary Cores. Makes sense, right? The issue is, Legendary Cores are quite difficult to come by, and if you want that tasty 3-Star Legendary Mod, well, you will need to spend five Legendary Cores and 4 Legendary Modules!

While Bethesda has explained that you can get Legendary Cores as rewards for completing Dialy Ops, Seasonal Events and Public Events, everyone wants to know what the fastest way is to farm these shiny, extremely useful crafting materials.

The best Fallout 76 Public Events to farm for Legendary Cores are also the most difficult, and while Daily Ops can give you some, your time will be much better spent farming these events.
