Problem with Legendary Loot

[ThalifmUS]

Hey guys,

I have been having an issue with legendary weapons.

Whenever I pick a legendary item and I go to check on my inventory, the item is not legendary anymore it has usually been downgraded to rare.

I am not sure it this is a bug or I am simply missing a skill or something that allows me to have one.

I just did the side quest "Big in Japan" and the reward was this legendary katana, but it turned out to be rare when I opened the inventory. 

Anyone having this issue?

Unique items have their own rarities, but are marked as legendary before you loot them. If you look in your inventory the items should have yellow circuitry on the weapon tile to distinguish them from random items.

I am seeing this issue as well and thought I was going insane. 

What I see happening is that when I loot a legendary (orange item) it briefly flashes on the corpse to a white, green or blue item. 

Then it is a white, green or blue item in my inventory.

At first I thought it's a bug/glitch too. Unique Named weapons have gold icons while looting even when they are not legendary. If you still don't see new weapon you propably looted blueprints so check Crafing menu.
