I assume most of us have encountered all if not most of the legendary enemies by now and can come up with a list of top 3... I play on survival to encounter them as often as possible.

1. Assaultron devastator drone
2. Mr Gutsy commander
3. Legendary radroach

I struggle with any robot enemy so really any 3 of that type. Those assaultrons are the worst they are so fast.

Dude the Cryolator kills them in a few seconds.

I could have sworn I faced a legendary super mutant suicider the first day I played. I actually don't remember exactly if that was the case, he may have just had a skull next to him indicating I was too weak to fight him. I wasn't paying attention at the time.

No deathclaws?

I found my 1st when I found the T51 combat armor, none of my guns were doing much as my Fatman/Minigun etc was at Sanctuary so luckily had a save before I came out the door and tried all my guns until Cryolator was the last then killed him instantly, like the gun has x10 damage vs biotic enemies.

Legendary superhuman butcher holding a rocket launcher. Those butchers have buckets of health default before legendary and when he picks up a launcher it's a pain.

I did not know this very good to find out. Now I just need to remember where I stashed that weapon.

legendary sentrybot


legendary vampiric bloodbug


legendary mystic deathclaw


those 3 are my most feared.

Legendary Glowing One and Legendary Mirelurk Hunter

Frakking legendary bloodbugs...uuughhh...been killed twice by them. So much poison!

i have a top 2 Legendary Bloodbugs, stupid poison own me.

And Legendary Camouflage Deathclaw.

Sentrybot

Already mentioned, the super mutant butcher with a missle launcher..not necessarily hard, except him + his buddies= a quick death if under powered.

Radscorpion..not too hard either, but even normal ones usually get a few hits on me, and legendary ones can be devestating

Legendary Bloodbug. legendary stingwing( or whatever it's called), and legendary super mutant butcher with a mini gun.

I haven't fought a legendary chameleon deathclaw but the normal chameleons deathclaws are a pain.

Yeah, legendary blood bug. 1 hit and the poison will kill you. At least it killed me at 100 % hp

1. Assaultron Dominator

Nothing else is scary.

im scare to find legendary Miraluck queens, man i only come across a normal one, lets say after getting own 5 times on Survival i just run away.

Fatman takes care of Mirelurk queens and deathclaws. Assaultrons.. not so much. They tend to one-shot me even as vanilla models.

yeahhh i never use the Fatmans, since fallout 3 i feel they are super OP vs everything so i never use it.

Legendary Ghoul Reavers are actually fairly tame, for me, and I was expecting even the bog-standard ones to eat my lunch at level 30! A few doses of 00 buckshot to the face and they go down, though. Not sure if it's just that ghouls are more frightening in general that the reavers are relatively tame in comparison, or what.

Legendary cucarachas don't faze me, but bloodbugs and stingwings are horrid.

They are very pesky but not as dangerous as the assaultron and gutsy

I remember running into a swarm of those things. They killed me quicker than I could react to stimpack

Encountered few Legendary Alpha Deathclaws in the Glowing Sea. My plasma shotgun and T-60 armor made them as dangerous the Sanctuary radroaches.

But just now i came across an overleveled Legendary Sentry Bot with a sneaky character. The Two Shot .50 Pipe rifle i have as my "heavy" weapon wouldn't have made a dent on him, even with sneak attack multipliers. Good thing i had a Fat Man, still it could eat three mini nukes before it died. First one had sneak attack, that forced it to heal instantly, then it still could take two direct hits. And even after that it trolled me by dropping some utterly useless metal armor piece

Legendary Glowing ones are no joke either, but Psycho Jet and a nice a combat shotgun kills them dead relatively safely

Legendary Mole Rat Brood Mother. I had TWO attack me at the same time right out side of Diamond City, along with their little family. Almost completely destroyed me. Close quarters, dark, mole rats all over you..yea it's stressful.
