Guide: 'Borderlands 2' Accessory Prefixes List

Many weapons you find in Borderlands 2 are equipped with an Accessory. These Accessories carry very specific attribute increases, ranging from increased damage to increased fire rate.

While these aren't necessarily the most important pieces to the game, they are nice to understand. Considering the ridiculous amount of different weapons there are out there, it's good to know why a 'Cartel' Sniper is better than a 'Contingent'.

The complete list is below (at least from what I can tell).
