Adequate is similar:

Accuracy 3 - 9
Mobility(always has) 1 - 8

Most tiers continue somewhat like this. They are required to have a specified downside and upside. But then, there's a chance for it to have extra stats, which are positive! The chance can't be changed, because it literally picks a random range with no rarity value. I.e. it will pick a random number between 3 and 4 and round it to choose how many stats the item will have!
But can't other types of stat appear?
Like decents/standards to be able to drop with +recoil, accuracy, reload or so?
I would find it more useful to drop a standard with +recoil or +firerate & -damage than the usual +damage & -accuracy / -recoil / -firerate
Yes, as I've stated, it has a random range of stats that can appear, only to an extent. But it requires 2 of the same stat. That's something that helps define a tier, and how I planned to have the system. It may not be as good for crystals, but the possible stats you need are still there, and there's a lower-tiered item that has pretty much every stat you need to charge anything.

Offtopic, but which tier is thereotically better?
Distinguished or Vakarian?
Distinguished has -25 firerate & -8 mobility, whilst Vakarian has -28 firerate & -5 mobility.
Excluding those stats, which tier's supposed to be better?
That's subjective. There isn't really supposed to be a better weapon between two that are close. One MAY be more rare, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's better.
It's up to personal taste, that is, which one you may prefer more. Everything has a slightly different play style to it, due to the tiers having different stat spreads, with downsides, etc. This allows a player to find a Tier that suits their play style.
i.e. if a person LOVES to rush at people, guns blazing, as fast as they can! They would likely enjoy the Lightweight tier, due to the mobility.
