Personally, I would not bother. The game is easy enough on survivor (well... at least for me) that I don't really need to use legendary weapons. The exception are two legendary Wounding rifles I gave to two of my companions. I am using neither one of those companions at the moment.
Yeah not really, unless it's a legendary that got sold etc...Maybe...If you're on PC and modding you can pretty much create anything to want.
ya, if you are on a PC, you can use console to get your items. i had to for tesla mag #7 no idea how i glitched it out, but i did.
