If you still want to test your luck, you should equip a Shlooter Artifact or All-in Shield to increase your Legendary World Drop Chances.
Weapon - suitable Loot Source:
- All Enemies:
Bosses, Crew Challenges, Generic Enemies, … - All kinds of Chests
- Vending Machines
- Slot Machines: Loot Boxer or Vault Line
- Diamond Loot Room
- Eridian Fabricator
