Unlock and farm legendary gear in gotham knights starting at Case 05 and Case 06. Best source is very high difficulty premeditated crimes.

There are several gear grades in gotham knights: common (white), uncommon (green), rare (blue), heroic (orange), epic (purple), and legendary (yellow). Higher quality gear has better stats, more conditional stats, and potentially more mod (a community-made modification that changes the game) slots.

Common, uncommon, and rare items are found by defeating enemies and completing premeditated crimes early in the game. Heroic items come from side activities, challenges, and missions. Epic gear unlocks at the start of Case 05, and legendary gear unlocks at the start of Case 06. You must progress the main case files to acquire legendary gear.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing Case 06, you will encounter very high difficulty crimes. Enemies in these crimes have a relatively high chance of dropping legendary gear.
  2. 2
    While any enemy has a chance to drop legendary gear, opportunistic crimes offer very low odds.
  3. 3
    Premeditated crimes are the most reliable source for legendary gear, both from enemy drops and completion rewards. You can check the map for premeditated crime rewards before starting.
  4. 4
    Very high difficulty premeditated crimes offer the best haul. These crimes have a higher chance of spawning elite enemies like veteran and champion variants.
  5. 5
    On average, you can expect at least one legendary drop from every two or three very high difficulty premeditated crimes, and sometimes more than one.
  6. 6
    Legendary gear can also be offered as rewards for crimes of all difficulty levels and for completing postgame challenges assigned by characters like Lucius Fox, detective Montoya, and The Penguin.
  7. 7
    After beating the game, complete postgame challenges assigned by various characters for legendary gear rewards. These often involve defeating enemies or completing other crimes.
Tips
  • Focus on completing very high difficulty premeditated crimes for the best legendary gear drop rates.
  • Check the map for premeditated crime rewards to prioritize those that might offer legendary gear.
  • Don't neglect postgame challenges, as they provide a consistent source of legendary gear once you've completed the main story.
  • While elite enemies are more common in higher difficulty crimes, they do not appear to have a higher chance of dropping legendary gear themselves; they are simply a greater threat.
