Chests and Legendary Chests

The weapons obtained through chests are random weapons of random rarity. Chest loot respawns every season and the contents are randomly selected each time you open them. For example, you can find armor, a trinket, materials, or even Hideout decorations in the same chest you previously obtained a weapon in.

Legendary Chests are fixed loot

Legendary Chests are the chests that contain fixed, Legendary loot. Legendary Chests are typically found in Castles, but there are some scattered throughout the overworld.

The rarity of the weapons sold scale with your level.
