Lime[]
Lime rarity weapons have a yellow or lime coloration on the item card, similar to the one used for money. Lime weapons can only be bought and will not drop from chests or enemies normally. Most of the lime weapons can be bought from the special vendors on Eden-6.
All manufacturers have exactly 3 lime weapons
Upgraded[]
Upgraded weapons have green colored item cards, and are only accessible after the main campaign has been completed. After the Devourer's defeat, the vault hunter gains access to the Forge Proper area on Mortis-4, where they can complete the forgemaster's trials in order to upgrade their weapons, shields and grenades.
Normally, upgrading a weapon gives it bonus stats or a random bonus effect. But choosing to upgrade certain weapons will instead result in completely new, more powerful weapons that are listed as Upgraded rarity.
