You can receive Legendary Cores by completing public events, daily ops, or participating in seasonal events. These are all of the ways you can obtain legendary cores.

Your best method of farming Legendary Cores will be to complete the public events that occur in Fallout 76. You may want to work with a group of players to increase your chances of success. For the smaller events featuring the chance of one, two, or three legendary cores, there’s a 48% chance of one Legendary Core dropping, a 32% chance of two Legendary Cores dropping, and a 20% chance of three Legendary Cores dropping.
