* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: Grenade Launchers are this in 4/4A. It deals tremendous damage with a large explosion radius (so much so that the explosion radius had to be nerfed in 4A), and it does [[For Massive Damage|even more damage]] combined with Primal Armor-eating machineguns/gatling guns.
** Arguably Sniper Cannons. Slightly gimmicky to equip (being very heavy and having less raw power than 'nades), sniper cannons' tremendous muzzle velocity means that if shot, it will hit 8/10 times ''at max range''. Doubly so in matches with slightly laggy net. To make matters worse, for Answer changed the sound effect of sniper cannons so that it seems as if a silenced cannon. With no explosions to tell that you're being shot at, you can spend upwards to a minute to realize you're being sniped and by then, you'd probably have lost a significant chunk of your AP.
** Sniper weaponry is good and all, but nothing screams Awesome ''and'' Practical like ''4/4A'' Railguns. To elaborate, sniper weaponry have tremendous recoil and only dedicated machines can handle it. Railguns have zero recoil ''and'' competing muzzle velocity in addition to awesome [[Armor-Piercing Attack|PA-penetration rating]]. Plus, unlike energy weapons, railguns are not affected by energy weapons-compatibility rating. Coupled with fairly high ammo count, railguns are easily one of the [[Game BreakersBreaker]]s in PvP. Of course, [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]], in a very literal sense (it since has been rendered unplayable due to nerfs).
** The Overed Weapons Mass Blade and Huge/Giga Missile has been known to be very usable even in Multiplayer. The Mass Blade is a monstrosity of an [[Improvised Weapon]], being a collapsed concrete girder attached with rockets used as a mech-mounted gigantic hammer with bent iron bars as its "hammerhead". Not only it features the lowest drain of all OWs, it has a low energy charging requirements and can be fired off three times with the right setup, instead of the usual two for most models. The Huge Missile is, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], a very large, possibly nuclear-warheaded missile. Capable of one-hitting an AC caught directly in its blast, it is even more useful in multiplayer thanks to a weapon called the Target Gun, which enables the user and the user's teammates to lock on to a target even beyond an obstacle. Since the Huge Missile homes on targets and is vertically launched, thereby clearing any obstacles, many teams use it to its fullest advantage having a different, "reconnaissance" oriented teammate tag a target for it to fire, with documented videos showing it killing two players at once.
* [[Badass Normal]]: You in the Nexus/Last Raven series, in a world dominated with every other Raven equipped with HUMAN PLUS and OP-I. You are the only raven without the upgrades.
