Requirements for Legendaries (Red Items)

[OenKrad]

Continuing the discussion from Vermintide 2 - Patch 1.0.5 - Patch Notes - Updated & Hotfixed:

@Fatshark_Hedge

Veteran item rarities have been changed. You can now receive Veteran items from General’s Champion and Emperor’s Champion chests, as well as any chests obtained from Legend. Their drop rates have also been drastically increased.

They talked about veteran items(reds) back in patch 1.0.5 when they adjusted drop rates and the chests they are supposed to pop out of.

@Gr4cchus

Will reds roll in commendation boxes?

No. I believe commendation boxes are the only ones that can drop cosmetics though.

@Gr4cchus

Is the difference in red rolls between Champion and Lord difficulty ~5%?

They never disclosed drop rate chances. No one but Fat Shark knows them for certain. People just run tests in the hopes of getting a ballpark idea of what they are.

@Gr4cchus

If it is true that a item power level is required-290?

Numerous people have reported getting reds much earlier than that.

@Gr4cchus

and because item power level transfers between all characters I would assume there is a level requirement in place for red rolls in the case that you start a new character to level?

This is assumed, as there is a level barrier in place for greens/blues/oranges.

@Gr4cchus

If it is true that at lvl 25 you unlock the ability to roll for red, do the chances increase for each subsequent higher level(30 max)?

I’m not sure if anyone knows what level you would “unlock” the ability to get reds. It’s probably safe to assume a barrier exists for it like the other colors. I doubt the chances change at all because of your level(E.G. from 25-30). In my experiences, I have only noticed a change in quality of loot due to tier of chest acquired. E.G., opening vaults(Legend) seems to render mostly blues and oranges. In Champion, greens appear more often. In Veteran, greens and whites appear even more frequently.

Just to clarify: Veteran items/Reds can be found from Champion General and Emperor chests, as well as any and all Legend vaults.

They can have a unique illusion. These illusions appear to mostly have blue glowy runes or designs on them from what I’ve seen.

@gustavkarlsson87

All red weapons have unique illusions that glow.

All reds are supposed to have illusions with glowing modifications. There is currently an issue where several items do not have any illusion/skin at all. I believe Fat Shark was made aware of this a while back. Hopefully they didn’t forget.

@gustavkarlsson87

All reds are power level 300 by default.

All reds have maximum rolls by default.

All reds affixes can be re-rolled. The re-rolled affixes will have maximum rolls by default

All reds traits can be re-rolled.

I can also confirm the above.

@TravelMug

Do they always have those fancy illusions? Or is the illusion on those RNG?

You can have an item have different red illusions. E.G., I have 2 different red versions of Sienna’s mace. They seem to just be glowing rune variations of existing illusions.
