What are Starfield legendary armor effects?

Starfield legendary armor effects are special boons attached to standard items to offer more utility. Some legendary armor effects include things like halving fall damage, increasing your carrying capacity, and so on. So, unlike unique armor, which is a bit more difficult to come by, there’s always a chance of finding a piece of equipment with a legendary armor effect when looting a body or exploring a new area. To find out if something is legendary, all you need to do is take a look in your inventory and see if the piece of gear has yellow text and a yellow box.
