In Blacklight Retribution all primary and secondary weapons will have a customised name, which is based off their components (excluding weapon tags) and receiver. Each weapon receiver and weapon component has its own set of names, most of which are unique. ---- == First Word == This is purely decided by the magazine of the weapon. These are all the possible first prefixes, which are shared between all primaries and secondaries unless stated otherwise. Note that magazines also have tiers that tie into the overall build. === Tier 1 === Heavy - 80 round LMG-R magazine Relentless - 70-Round AR-Magazine Magnum - Magnum mags === Tier 2 === Drummed - 50-Round AR-Magazine or the 16-Round SG-Magazine Incendiary - Incendiary mags Explosive - Explosive mags Electro - EMP mags Toxic - Toxic Mags Scattershot - BLP scattershot round === Tier 3 === Standard - Standard mags Quick - Fast Reload mags Light - Faster run-speed mags Extended - Extended mags Express - Express mags Precision - Snub-260 Precision Cylinder High Caliber - Snub-260 High Caliber Cylinder ---- == Second Word == The second word refers to the components of the weapon. There are at the moment, 3 discovered Tiers of names for the second prefix. When the gun is customized the highest tier component is the one that names the gun. E.g, when the system is forced to choose between "Thundering" which is a tier 1 name, and "Ghostly", a tier 2 name, it will go with "Thundering" since it has the higher tier. If there are several components of the same tier, the system will follow this priority: <font color=red>Muzzles</font>><font color=blue>Scopes</font>><font color=green>Barrels</font>>Stocks === Tier 1 === <font color=red>Rift - Thundering Krane SPR1 - Audible ArmCom Copperhead - Accented ArmCom SYS3 - Armored ArmCom Two-Step - Shrill Silverwood RAS - Veiled Briar Xl Brake - Tremoring </font> <font color=blue>ArmCom Vatic IR - Infrared EMI Fused Image IR - Infrared</font> === Tier 2 === <font color=red>Frontier Snuff - Concealed</font> <font color=green>Krane Blackbird - Elite Titan AR4 - Unstoppable Krane LR - Tactical Briar Composite - Smoothbore Vulcan Stalker - Hex Vulcan BP - Angry Silverwood SW - Mean Briar Rhino - Stabilized Hullbreach Ogre - Basic Armcom Elite - Advanced Krane GX3 - Cracking Briar TDF - Brilliant Briar Leatherneck - Agency Silverwood EX - Fearsome Frontier Jurisdiction - Enforced Briar CQC-3 Zenith - Stabilized Redsand R7 Rush - Stabilized </font> <font color=blue>Lightsky L3 - Hidden Krane FP-G38 - Spy MMRS Flip-up - Flip-up EMI Rival - Fiber-optic EON F1 - Far Sight Krane Kaur - Far Sight Krane EX9 - Recon Silverwood Cons - Scoped OPRL Reflex - Tactical Silverwood CH - Ghostly Frontier X-light - Iron Armcom CQB - Prototype Lightsky Elo - Eagle-eye EMI Cypher - Rail EMI Fused - Sighted ArmCom ESK - Auspex EMI Cypher IR - Infrared </font> Silverwood BRS - Stabilized ArmCom CQC - Brutal V2 Folding - Composite Hullbreach TSMA - Combat Taurex ACP - Solid Redsand S14 - Operator's Krane STI-01 - Reinforced Overmatch JLM - Veteran Krane CP2 - Technical Vulcan ACP - Collapsible ArmCom AC10 - Operator's </font> === Tier 3 === <font color=red>ArmCom SYS - Shadow Hullbreach ZXI - Hidden Frontier SRM - Silent Briar S11 - Covert Vulcan QDSS - Repercussive Briar XS - Spy Krane RXS - Treacherous Vulcan R36 - Spectrum ArmCom NT4 - Suppressed </font> <font color=green>Silverwood X35 - N/A Titan FFB - Ranged Lightsky Raider - N/A </font> Frontier ULS - N/A Krane KOG - Galloping ---- == Third Word == === Naming Logic === Third word is dependent on the tier of the parts currently equipped on the weapon and how many high tier parts it has. For example, an Assault Rifle starts with the name "Standard Tactical Knight"; if we were to add a low tier muzzle such as the ArmCom SYS onto it, it now becomes "Standard Shadow Classic", as it transitioned from the first name, "Knight", to the 2nd name, "Classic". If we were to put a high tier muzzle such as the Krane SPR1 instead, it now becomes "Standard Audible Rebel". <br>In order to achieve the last name, a gun generally must have a tier 1 muzzle and tier 1-2 scope and stock (where applicable).<br> All gun names are in order of acquiring (1 high level part, 2 high level parts, etc.). We must also note that some of the parts/receiver possible names are not unique (ex. "Hunter" for both BFP and BAR). <font color=silver>Note: '''All''' guns have "Classic" as a 2nd possible name, and thus is not included in the listing below.</font> === Primaries === ---- ==== Assault Rifle ==== The Assault Rifles have names that seem to be around the theme of 'Chaos vs. Order'. <font color=silver>'''Assault Rifle Names''':</font> "Knight", "Stallion", "Jackal, "Rebel" and "Templar". ==== Bolt Action Rifle ==== The Bolt Action Rifles take names that are metaphors for different types of snipers. <font color=silver>'''Bolt Action Rifle Names''':</font> "Paladin", "Mercenary", "Prototype", "Nightmare" and "Hunter". ==== Combat Rifle ==== The Combat Rifles use a theme of 'Professionals' with the names, symbolic with their difficulty compared with other weapons. <font color=silver>'''Combat Rifle Names''':</font> "Hot-shot", "Spartan", "Expert", "Negotiator" and "Lance". ==== Burstfire Rifle ==== Burstfire Rifles take their names from wedge-headed weapons, which reflects their ability to deal potent damage in a short burst. <font color=silver>'''Burstfire Rifle Names''':</font> "Hatchet", "Maul", "Battle-Axe", "Butcher", "Tomahawk". ==== Submachine Gun ==== The Submachine Guns get their names from various descriptions of melee fighting, reflecting their close quarters dominance. <font color=silver>'''Submachine Gun Names''':</font> "Fighter", "Boxer", "Contender", "Duelist" and "Wildcat". ==== Light Machine Gun ==== The Light Machine Guns are named such as to reflect their destructive nature. <font color=silver>'''Light Machine Gun Names''':</font> "Savage", "Pillager", "Demolisher" , "Raider" and "Killer". ==== AK470 Rifle ==== As a reference to the long lasting legacy of the AK-47 and its derivatives, AK-470 rifles takes names that reflects its history. <font color=silver>'''AK470 Rifle Names''':</font> "Artifact", "Remnant", "Relic", "Memento". ==== Heavy Assault Rifle ==== The Heavy Assault Rifles get their names from various mighty figures that impose respect. <font color=silver>'''Heavy Assault Rifle Names''':</font> "Punisher", "Vulture", "Ambassador", "Kestrel", "Powerhouse". ==== M4X Rifle ==== Based off the M4 and the M16 rifle series, the M4X rifles take the names of tactical assault groups. <font color=silver>'''M4X Rifle Names''':</font> "Infantry", "Brigade", "Formation". ==== Tactical Submachine Gun ==== Tacical Submachine Guns are named to reflect their hit-and-run nature. <font color=silver>'''Tactical Submachine Gun Names''':</font> "Element", "Wasp", "Scrounger". ==== Light Machine Gun - Recon ==== The Recon Light Machine Guns takes their names from unnatural and unpleasant phenomena.
