Currently, there are eight Legendary weapons in Back 4 Blood, with the newest being the Lockjaw, added to the game with the Children of the Worm expansion.
Still, with this latest expansion, the only way to really get Legendary weapons is by delving into Ridden Hives. As long as at least one person in your party has the Tunnels of Terror expansion, there’s a chance for an entrance to a Ridden Hive to spawn within an act.
It is possible to force a Legendary weapon to spawn outside of Ridden Hives by using the Legendary Weapon burn card, which grants a totally random Legendary. However, your best bet is to explore Ridden Hives.
Here’s a list of all the Legendary weapons in Back for Blood, including their stats and perks.

Lockjaw is the only new Legendary weapon added with the Children of the Worm expansion, but it’s a huge boon on Nightmare and No Hope difficulties. Especially now that matchmaking is in the works for No Hope if the game’s Trello is to be believed. This newest expansion also introduces the cleaner Prophet Dan, who has some interesting effects that may or may not be useful depending on the overall skill of your fellow cleaners.
