Due to the fact that weapons are randomly generated by the names of the prefixes and quality, the stats aren't always accurate. This is a list of the suffixes used on weapons. In addition, while a weapon will usually get a descriptor that matches up with a part on the gun (for example, Spiked and the +150% melee damage handle attachment that goes with it), it is possible for a gun to get a descriptor and then another part that overrides the part associated with that descriptor.

The structure of a generated weapon is as such Weapon Name = [Manufacturer] [Manufacturer Tier] [Model] [Model Number] [Material Grade] [Prefix] [Title]; Manufacturer, Model, Prefix, and Title all affect stats of the weapon, Manufacturer Tier is the range of level requirement the weapon falls under, and Model Number affects the base appearance of the weapon. For example, the Jakobs Antique GGN9 XX Long Thunder, Jakobs is the manufacturer, Antique is the Tier, GGN is the Model, 9 is the Model Number, XX is the Material Grade, Long is Prefix, and Thunder is Title.

Body typesEdit

Most gun types have five specific body types available. They determine the gun's prefix, damage, rate of fire, and recoil. Testing has revealed the following:

• Body Type 1 guns are more or less "middle of the road" performers. They don't excel anywhere, but they usually don't have any major weaknesses either.
• Body Type 2 guns are second best at damage. However, they are also the second worst body type for rate of fire and recoil.
• Body Type 3 guns are the worst at damage, but to compensate they have the second best fire rate and the lowest amounts of recoil.
• Body Type 4 guns are tied for the best at damage, but are the worst in fire rate and recoil.
• Body Type 5 guns are the best guns around - they are tied for highest damage with Body Type 4 and have the best fire rates and second best recoil. Understandably, these guns are also the rarest of the five common body types.
• Body Type 6 guns are only found on Tediore weapons that have ammo regeneration.
  • Since Patch 1.3.0, all Tediore body6 for ammo regeneration have been changed to use existing body numbers for that weapon type. Therefore, there are no more body6 weapons after said patch.

Manufacturer Tiers Edit

Each manufacturer often provides the same weapon in different base quality. When you start the game, you can only find or buy standard issue weapons. As your character progresses and gains additional levels, more powerful versions of those basic weapons will start to appear. Usually, the main differences between a given weapon from the same manufacturer but from two different tiers are the base damage and the level requirement.

You can see the manufacturer's tier by sorting your weapon by brand, either in your inventory or in the shop interface.

Manufacturers also do not have a tier listed on any weapon below level requirement 13.

Manufacturer	Level
	13-21	22-30	31-39	40-47	48+
Anshin (Items Only)	Expert	Select	Impeccable	Exemplar	Immaculate
Atlas	Champion	Heroic	Herculean	Legendary	Titan

Pangolin (Items Only)	Leather	Mail	Buckler	Shield	Plate
S&S	Revised	Upgraded	Enhanced	Faultless	Perfect

Torgue	Power	Force	Excellent	Awesome	Ultimate

Material Grade Edit

Main article: Material Grade

Added by Johnny Nocturnal

Material grade naming varies by manufacturer. Values are taken straight from localization files; quotation marks enclose intentionally included (or excluded) space characters.

Material grades change the color and texture of guns. They scale the effect of the manufacturer on a weapon's stats. On a Maliwan gun, for example, a better grade improves the chance of elemental effects triggering. This is not always good: signature weaknesses of some brands also increase. Material has a strong effect on the weapons rarity.

Manufacturer	Low quality		Uncommon		Rare
	Code	Prefix	Code	Prefix	Code	Prefix
Atlas	none	Puny	none	White	none	Pearl
Dahl	none	Surplus	" U"	Urban	"D"	Desert
Hyperion	none	Substandard	".W"	Red	".G"	Crimson
Jakobs	none	Plywood	" ZZ"	none	" XX"	none
Maliwan	none	Obsolete	" B"	Blue	" C"	Cobalt
S&S	none	Old	".2"	none	".3"	none
Tediore	none	Cheap	"-A"	none	"-B"	none
Torgue	none	Weaksauce	none	Iron	none	Steel
Vladof	none	Rusty	"/V2"	none	"/V3"	none

Weapon Prefix Edit

Weapon Prefix are words that may affect the visuals and the stats. A gun can be without a prefix, this being the case generally in the more common weapons (specifically white rarities). Those that are found on two or less (like Double and Sighted) are put into their respective categories. A weapon will only display one prefix, even if two or more could apply - for instance, a Torgue Double Anarchy (SMG) may appear as a "Steel Anarchy" using the manufacturer material prefix, but the Double accessory is still there.
