Legendary Items

Legendary items are one-of-a-kind custom-built weapons, tools, and armor — each with a unique name, a distinctive skin, and a set of powerful permanent perks that no ordinary or enchanted item can match. Every legendary recipe produces the exact same fixed stats every time; there is no roll involved. What makes them truly stand apart is that their perk values can exceed the global caps that apply to enchanted gear, meaning a legendary can push beyond what is otherwise achievable through the enchanting system alone.

Legendaries are permanently bound to their owner from the moment they enter your inventory. No other player can pick one up — not from your corpse, not from the ground, not from any container. On death, the server will automatically recover your legendaries and bound components into your personal vault as long as space is available. Vault contents also survive map wipes, so your legendaries carry forward between map cycles. They are wiped only on force wipes.

Getting a legendary

There are two ways to obtain a legendary item:

Drops — legendary items can drop from Zombie Hordes, as rewards from certain quests, and from defeating the Wraith. When one drops it will have a distinctive skin and name that sets it apart immediately.
Crafting — the primary route. Open the crafting UI with /lc and build the legendary yourself from gathered components.

Crafting

Run /lc to open the legendary crafting interface. The left side shows all available recipes in a scrollable catalog. Recipes you have the materials for show in white; ones you are missing ingredients for show in red.

Click any recipe to open the detail panel on the right. It lists every ingredient required — both components and other materials — along with the legendary's fixed perks and their values. If you have everything, hit CONFIRM to consume the materials and receive the item. The button stays grayed out until all requirements are met.

After a successful craft you receive the item in your inventory and get a confirmation chat message.
The item is created and bound to you immediately — it cannot be handed off to another player.

Components

Most legendary recipes require legendary components — special custom items that serve as the building blocks of each legendary. Every component is player-bound the moment it enters your inventory, so they cannot be traded or given away. Components show up in a wide variety of places:

Recycling — the most reliable source. Break down enhancement kits, enchanted items, or legendary items via /lc.rec to receive components. Kits return a random amount of Arcane Scrap only. For enchanted gear and legendaries, the recycler uses a weighted system: better inputs tilt the odds toward rarer components (see Recycling below for how that works).
Component boxes — a physical item that can be opened to receive one random component. When you have a component box and open a research table, a button appears on-screen to consume the box and claim your component.
Zombie Hordes — horde rewards can include component boxes (open them at a research table to receive a random component).
Raid Bases — raid base loot can include component boxes.
High-tier dungeons — dungeon loot can include component boxes.
Quests — certain quests reward components on completion.
Voting & Trivia — participating in server voting and trivia events can earn you components.
Luck-based skills & enchantments — perks like Skinning Luck, Mining Luck, and similar luck enchantments can proc bonus component drops while you work.

Arcane Scrap is the most common crafting material and appears across many recipes. It is not tied to a single legendary and is one of the easier components to stockpile, especially through recycling enhancement kits.

Recycling

Run /lc.rec to open the legendary recycler. It scans your main inventory and belt for eligible items and lists them. The list can include:

Legendary crafting recycler UI listing eligible kits, enchanted items, and legendaries

Enhancement kits — recycling a kit destroys it and returns a random amount of Arcane Scrap.
Enchanted items — recycling an enchanted item can return legendary components. What you get is not flat random — the recycler scores the whole item.
Legendary items — recycling a legendary destroys it permanently and returns components. Rarer, stronger legendaries push the odds toward rarer components; results still have randomness.

How recycler quality works. The server runs a detailed weighting pass so “better stuff in” means “better odds for rare comps out.” For enchanted items, it cares about how rare each enchantment is — for example a rare perk like Vampiric contributes more than a very common one like Line Strength. It also cares what base item those perks sit on: recycling an M249 pulls harder toward rare components than recycling the same perks on something humble like a bone knife. Stronger roll values on a perk and items that carry multiple enchantments both nudge the outcome toward better component tiers. Recycling a legendary uses the same idea end-to-end: the more exceptional that legendary is, the better your chances for rare components — but nothing is guaranteed every time.

Click any eligible item in the list, confirm you want to destroy it, and you will receive the component(s) in chat along with a short result screen showing what you got. This process is irreversible — the destroyed item is gone for good.

Legendary Vault

The Legendary Vault is a personal storage space that only accepts legendary items and bound components. Open it with /vault from anywhere at any time, or bind it in the F1 console — for example bind X vault (use whatever key you want instead of X). The vault functions like a standard storage container but only you can move items in or out of it.

Vault size by rank: 12 slots default; 24 for VIP (VIP Gold is the same); 36 for Veteran (Veteran Gold is the same); 48 for Champion and Top Voter. Any gold version of a rank uses the same slot count as that rank.
Vault contents survive map wipes. After a map wipe your legendaries and components will still be there. However, any loaded ammo or attachments on stored items are stripped during the wipe.
Vault contents are wiped on force wipes.
If your vault is full and you die with legendaries on you, those items may stay on your corpse — keeping your vault tidy is worth doing.

Binding & protections

Every legendary item is permanently bound to its owner. This is handled automatically — the moment a legendary enters your inventory for the first time, it is tagged as yours. From that point on a number of rules apply:

Cannot be picked up by others. If someone tries to loot or move your legendary, the pickup is blocked and they see a chat message that it belongs to you. Nothing else happens — the item is not given to them and is not auto-returned to you; it stays where it is. The same applies on corpses.
Cannot be researched or recycled at the standard research bench or recycler. Use /lc.rec if you want to break one down intentionally.
Cannot be stored in backpacks or vending machines.
On death, the server will automatically move your legendaries and bound components to your vault if space allows. If your vault is full they will remain on your corpse, still protected from pickup by others.
Dropping is allowed, but a legendary dropped on the ground still cannot be claimed by anyone who is not its owner.

Craftable legendaries

There are currently 45 legendary items available to craft via /lc. Required components and their perks are shown in full inside the crafting UI — no guessing required.
