I would add some more information:
Any Legendary Weapon (Flux Cannon, Phase Injectors, Chrome Phoenix, Tempest Coil, Napalm Carbine) can be looted from any of the last white queen vulars (Normal stage and Depth)
Dropping into the Depth of the Hive is a RANDOM event.
For those who use enhancer, you should definitely use 2 characters to farm the hive:
The first one would do 90% of the map, and you swap to the second (using enhancer) and kill the queen.
There is one thing you have to keep in mind: Everytime you kill the queen, you're spinning a wheel. That wheel has all possible drops on it, separated depending on their drop odds. The odds are different, depending on the threat level. While using a luck enhancer or vanity, you simply reroll for an item with 1 rarity level higher: if you loot a rare, then it rerolls with a wheel containing only epics.
I have a little thesis about the use of "Classy Looter". I'm not sure if that enhancer takes off the possible loots for other classes than yours, or it changes the loot from an other class to one to your class: If you loot a phase injector and you're an op, then it turns into a chrome phoenix. So I started a little investigation and found out that for 6 legendary items looted with classy looter, 4 were non-classed items (3 Napalm and a Tempest) and 2 were classed ones (a Phase injector and a Chrome Phoenix). It's a bit too early for conclusions, but I think the other class loots are completely taken off (we need to ask a dev to know the real answer).
I hope you find it useful.
