I have had a few bits of legendary armor drop now and I have started to use them (at least the combat armor, don't like the other non-power armour types aesthetically).


I am wondering, does it scale up the type of armor the legendary effect is based on depending on the players level or are they always the basic version?


In other words, as I level up more will I start seeing legendary effect versions of the sturdy and then the heavy armor variants?

Yes, but the low level versions are left in the pool of available items, and are by far more common.

I have hundreds of legendary armors, but only a few are heavy variants, and I am near level 100 on survival.

Ah ok, I thought I'd ask as I got a legendary armor this evening and it's +1 higher in its resistance values than the polymer armor I had on before so I'd swapped over. Was hoping to get a full set eventually.
