 This attribute spawns on any weapon that has had its base type name changed.  For player crafted weapons this type change occurs when the player renames the weapon from the default given one. The name change can occur automatically as the player chooses a particular style for the item during the customization process or by manually renaming the item in the name field. After changing the name the weapon now indicates that it is a variation of the specific type that it originated as. For looted weapons, this attribute occurs only on weapons that have been given the exceptional or legendary tags.

 '''Rifle''' - Made to destroy enemies from afar, these weapons are most effective from long ranges. The sheer power behind a rifle makes it difficult to attack targets at a short range, but from a distance, a rifle has the highest damage potential of any ranged weapon. This does not come without a price however, as the power drain on a rifle makes for a long recharge time and a slow rate of fire.
 <br><br>
-Additionally, there is also a category of weapons known as heavy weapons. These generally include grenades and rocket launchers, and can only be used effectively by a few professions. The disadvantage to these types of weapons is that they are expendable, and can be used only a limited number of times.
