Tier

Tier - Abbreviated and combined with a number, expresses the general power level of an item:

• T0: Quest items (like a Metal Pole or Metal Case or Briefcase), minor items (like Rubber Boots and Daisies), or otherwise miscellaneous items that cannot be crafted.

• T1: everyone can craft it, might need a profession

• T2: Can be crafted, needs Blueprint

• T3: Cannot be crafted, you can find T3 with stats

• T4: Even better than T3, these cannot be crafted and you might only find these in a few rare places (like Dayglow), but not usually with stats

Examples

• Any Level 1 Character can craft a double-barreled Shotgun which is considered to be T1
  
• Get first level of Small Guns profession and craft Combat Shotguns, which are also T1
  
• But get Small Guns 2 and the right blueprint to craft the H&K CAWS which is T2
  
• The Pancor Jackhammer is even better, and cannot be crafted, so it's considered T3
  

• A crafted Minigun is considered to be T2 even with stats
  
• Meanwhile, the Avenger Minigun is T3
  
• The Vindicator Minigun is even better than the Avenger Minigun, so it is T4
  

• The craftable H&K P90c is considered to be T2, stats or no stats
  
• A H&K G11 is not craftable and T3
  
• The H&K G11E is even better than the H&K G11, so it is T4
