How do you get a free Legendary Weapon in Destiny? Well there are steps that you would need to complete to be able to get the free legendary armor.
when you hit rank 3 with Vanguard, Crucible, or any Faction, you are awarded a guaranteed Legendary weapon from their arsenal. This part may be RNG, but I got a Vanguard Legendary Weapon when I hit Rank 3, and I know a friend hit Rank 3 FWC and got an FWC Legendary Weapon. Likewise, all faction reps continue to mail you awards past rank 3, just like the Cryptarch.
So then. Cast off the shackles of the hateful RNG god. Gear up in Legendary armor of your choice, earn some free Legendary weapons, and buy yourself an Exotic or two.
Treat Legendary and Rare Engram drops and Strike and PvP rewards as a a bonus, not as the primary method of gearing yourself up and you’ll be much happier with Destiny. If you still want to farm mobs, go for it! But don’t feel you need to spend joyless hours suiciding yourself while farming mobs in one spot to gear up, because you don’t.
