Editing How to Ranger Basically (section)

==Notable Early Game Weapons==

===[[Laser Pannon]]===
The earliest access to Laser Cannon CS2, which can help a lot with cheesing difficult rooms. Easy to drop as well.

Is quickly made obselete if you are using [[Downloadable content]], though.

===[[Super Conductive Rifle]]===
Tied for the ranged weapon with the longest range in the game, Yoko's rifle can do pretty absurd stuff like shooting enemies that aren't even rendered in the player's field of view. Attach [[Long Ranged Shoot]] for even more stupidity.

Having a super long weapon (or [[Rifles]] in general) isn't really necessary, though. But it's funny.

===[[Frost Shot]]===
Has a whopping 50% freeze infliction chance, and allows the player to essentially freeze lock enemies that aren't particularly resistant to aliments.

Falls off later as many enemies becomes more resistant to aliments, though.

===[[Super Railgun]]===
Tied for the ranged weapon with the longest range in the game, Misaka's hand can also do pretty absurd stuff like shooting enemies that aren't even rendered in the player's field of view. Attach [[Long Ranged Shoot]] for even more stupidity.

Note that unlike the [[Super Conductive Rifle]], the railgun also has the distinction of having the highest pp consumption in the game, at 200% PP. This means that equipping almost any [[Photon Arts]] on it is questionable, as it massively increases the PP usage per {{Square}}. (PP consumption is unchanged from normal if you don't equip any Photon Arts.

As a handgun, though, the railgun is more versatile than a rifle. It's also possible to equip the Railgun with Charge Shot II for absurdly ranged healing.

===Various Replica Weapons===
Replica weapons are low-rank high-level weapons that can be bought from the shop. While they are convenient to use, they are offset by their 110% PP usage and 90% PA damage, which makes them far weaker than their legitmate counterparts. For melee and Technic weapons, anyway. For Ranged weapons, though, their drawback can be very easily avoided by simple not equipping a [[Photon Arts]], which allows the player to make full use of their upsides.
