Starfield legendary effects

If you’re familiar with previous Bethesda games, you’ve likely familiar with what Starfield legendary effects are. Legendary effects are special modifiers that can spawn randomly on Starfield weapons and Starfield armor, offering a unique twist or enhancement to your equipment. Finding the best legendary effect is a matter of luck, as you are unable to craft, detach, or equip Starfield legendary mods unless you install a Starfield mod.

However, knowing which legendary effects are the best will help you keep an eye out for them in the wild, or prepare you for that inevitable Starfield mod. So, we’ve gathered a full list of Starfield legendary effects below. If you want to see just Starfield legendary weapon effects, or Starfield legendary armor effects, we have separated them onto their own pages, but you can also use the filters in the full legendary effects database below.
