Legendary items are a special quality type of weapons that are distinguishable by their orange name and unique names. All legendary items have a normal counterpart (with the exception of Dirty Harry's gun), and often share some stats/bonuses with it; however, legendary items often have an additional bonus. While unlike normal items they don't specify a quality, they do have an orange tab on the icon's top-left to specify it's quality like normal. Just like normal items they have a durability and break apart after enough usage.
While legendary weapons are generally weaker than an exceptional version of their counterpart, their primary strength is in their additional bonus, as it is generally powerful or a useful combination of bonuses.
Having the "Collectioner" option selected on the strategy table appears to increase the odds of finding legendary items.
Legendary items can be traded, but they cannot be salvaged or used on the forge.
Another important detail is that using a legendary item does not count toward the completion of quests requiring to kill 50 infected with the normal version of the weapon.
