You spend a lot of your time toting weapons around between Uncommon and Epic rarities in Back 4 Blood, but every once in a while, you’ll get your hands on a Legendary weapon or two and get to go nuts with their unique effects.

Currently, there are eight Legendary weapons in Back 4 Blood, with the newest being the Lockjaw, added to the game with the Children of the Worm expansion.

Still, with this latest expansion, the only way to really get Legendary weapons is by delving into Ridden Hives. As long as at least one person in your party has the Tunnels of Terror expansion, there’s a chance for an entrance to a Ridden Hive to spawn within an act.

It is possible to force a Legendary weapon to spawn outside of Ridden Hives by using the Legendary Weapon burn card, which grants a totally random Legendary. However, your best bet is to explore Ridden Hives. 

Here’s a list of all the Legendary weapons in Back for Blood, including their stats and perks.

This newest expansion also introduces the cleaner Prophet Dan, who has some interesting effects that may or may not be useful depending on the overall skill of your fellow cleaners.
