    Legendary Weapons can be found on high level quests, crafted in a fully upgraded Weapon shops (68,000 additional caps to fully upgrade after building the base shop), acquired in Lunchbox's, and acquired when recruiting Legendary Dwellers.

    I'd recommend acquiring caps and legendary junk while going for the 100 quests achievement. Then crafting Legendary weapons, in time you will have a lot of caps.

    Training dwellers and maxing out there special stats while they are at a low level, then sending them into the wasteland for 24-48 hours is a great method to get tons of caps and junk. Send them out with 25 stimpaks and 10+ radaway and they will survive for days and reach level 50 in the process.

    AshamanNDI have about 30 unique weapons - still not unlocked.
    Don't know what to do, stuck at 95% (19/20).

    CalyrisDuplicates don't count for me. The tracker only goes up if a new one is added to the survival guide collection. Same with outfits. Thankfully duplicates do count for the legendary dwellers though.

    AshamanNDUpdate:
    I deleted all my save data locally and on cloud, started everything form scratch, got 20 unique legendary weapons (not in your stats count, but in the page where you can actually see the image of each one) and it finally unlocked.
    Yay.
    Now I can go work on the 20 Legendary Dwellers (I have 6 right now).

    For anyone that gets their Weapon or Armor progress stuck - you need to delete all your save data from local and cloud and start from scratch.

    This achievement is for collecting 20 different Legendary Weapons. E.g., if you have already collected The Lone Wanderer pistol and you later get a Legendary Dweller that comes with the same pistol, the achievement does not credit the second instance of that weapon. This also means that you cannot craft the same Legendary Weapon repeatedly in the Weapon Workshop to get the achievement.

    You can get Legendary Weapons in four ways:

    1) Finding legendary loot when exploring or on quests. Some quests will include Legendary Weapons and Legendary Outfits as rewards for the quest. Usually, when a legendary item is included in a quest, it will be shown in the quest screen, but I have also recovered legendary weapons and outfits on the intermittent exploration quests. When a Legendary Weapon is included on a Quest, it is either indicated by showing the actual weapon as a reward or is shown as a gold weapon icon to indicate that some Legendary Weapon will be rewarded.

    2) Crafting weapons in the Weapon Workshop. Once you have enough dwellers, you can upgrade the Weapon Workshop to build Legendary Weapons. You will need to find recipes for the weapons on quests or on exploration quests. Legendary Weapons each require several pieces of legendary junk to build, as well as caps and time.

    3) Legendary Dwellers sometimes come wielding a Legendary Weapon. Some Legendary Dwellers come wielding a Legendary Weapon, but the weapon will only count toward this achievement if you have not previously collected that weapon, e.g. Amata Almodovar, Butch DeLoria and Reginald Rothchild all come wielding The Lone Wanderer, but only one instance of the weapon will count toward the achievement.

    4) Lunch boxes contain Legendary Weapons as rare cards. The same rules apply to duplicates.

    Crater Bob@AshamanND - Delete your save from your console and the cloud and restart. That's literally all you can do.

    Thanks, although I'm inclined to wait until I get the 20 Legendary dwellers first.
    That seems to be tracking - even if painfully slow at finding them.
