If you are are okay with only 1 piece of Legendary equipment per expedition, stay out as long as possible and collect as much better-than-common gear as possible. If you are looking for Legendary gear, stay out there as long as possible, but consider coming back as soon as you have one. It is suggested that this is based on a Perception test, but this is not confirmed. However, you do not always gain the legendary gear. Chance at Legendary may be capped at one legendary per expedition.Īlso, when your dweller reaches 60 hours (plus or minus 15 minutes), they will encounter the National Guard Depot.

Chance at Legendary = Duration in Minutes / 360,000.Chance at Rare = Duration in Minutes / 36,000.Rare drops after 25 days in the wastes are confirmed to be 100%. Only Legendary weapons have been gained this way, not armour. This is confirmed to have a chance to acquire rare and legendary gear. This infers that as the probability of loot being rare/legendary increasing with time.Ī regular loot event occurs every 60 minutes for all dwellers exploring in the wastelands.
