The first problem is the position of the attribute in the description. In order from top to bottom, item descriptions should always list neutral (white) stats first, then positive (blue) stats, and finally negative (red) stats, with informational text like "This weapon will reload when not active" and "Can be defused by the Wrench" being positioned at the very end.

By adding {{code|"effect_type" "positive"}} to the {{code|"can headshot VISIBLE"}} attribute, we can set the colour to the same blue as other positive attributes. If you want an attribute to be displayed as negative, simply replace {{code|"positive"}} with {{code|"negative"}}. The same goes for neutral attributes - replace {{code|"positive"}} with {{code|"neutral"}}.
