* [[The Paralyzer]]: As opposed to standard explosive mines used by the other ships, the Gunship can drop stun mines.

* [[Recursive Ammo]]: The Speedboat can use a torpedo that splinters into several smaller ones, spreading out over an area.
* [[Sea Mine]]: You can drop these in your wake to deter pursuers or wall off an area, but beware, as smaller enemies can do so as well.
