* ''[[Descent]]'' arguably falls into this; the vast majority of primary weapons ''are'' energy-based, but most secondary weapons are rockets, and ''Descent II''{{'}}s Gauss Cannon is regarded as a [[Game Breaker]] for good reason, mostly damage and [[More Dakka|fire]] [[Gatling Good|rate]] - partially because the kinetic primary weapons here are [[Hit Scan]] and the [[Frickin' Laser Beams|"lasers"]] are ''not''. (Except the Omega Cannon, but its range is ''very'' short.) Same goes for ''Descent 3''{{'}}s Mass Driver, which functions much like a ''[[Quake]]'' railgun in [[Hit Scan]], damage, and fire rate, with that last point balancing it out compared to the Gauss Cannon, now [[Nerf]]ed into the weaker Vauss Cannon. |
