Reminder
In general, prefix comes from:
- the accessory;
- the element (if no accessory);
- the grip (if nothing else).
In the case of the Bandit rocket launcher grip, it overrides any element but is overriden by any accessory.
About rarities:
- white has no accessory;
- green & blue can have one;
- purple & higher always have one.
