* MemeticBadass: While Lando's (now patched) damage glitch made him hated in terms of gameplay, it also earned him this status among the player base, resulting in memes where he uses his Power Shot to instantly take out a ludicrous target such as the Death Star.

** In the Hoth team deathmatch mission there's a cave containing numerous powerups and a gatling laser. While the laser can't turn enough to avoid being flanked by enemies entering the cave via the side, it faces directly at the entrance most AI's use and AI's almost never come from the right, letting you use the powerups to put down infantry turrets on the left and largely forget about it. While you will have to leave it to grab your point or if your turrets fail to protect your flank, the Gatling has its own health and takes damage for you, letting you rapidly regenerate to full while you mow down enemies.

** Lando used to be this due to his blaster being inaccurate and not very strong. At least until his Power Shot damage glitch instantly turned him all the way around to a HighTierScrappy.
** The CA-87 shock blaster suffers immensely from being a ShortRangeShotgun. Even in the smallest maps, you'll often run into situations where your enemy is out of range. While Focus Fire can be used to change its pellet spread into a single, powerful blaster bolt, [[PowerfulButInaccurate it's still too inaccurate to use reliably]]. Worse yet, it has the lowest rate of fire in the game and overheats after a mere three shots. The only reason anyone bothers with it is because it's required to unlock the Scatter Gun.
** The CJ-9 Bo-Rifle is incredibly situational at best. While having OneHitKill melee is handy, especially on smaller maps, there will be many situations where you can't get close enough to use it, while [[MasterOfNone the blaster itself is slow, rather inaccurate and not particularly strong]]. Even the melee has a major drawback in that you can't use it (not even a regular melee) while your Personal Shield is active. Some people use this weapon for the sheer novelty of it, but anyone playing seriously won't even look at it.

If the hate came from the character being overpowered, then we have the opposite phenomenon, High Tier Scrappy
* HighTierScrappy: Lando Calrissian has evolved from being derided for having a completely underpowered, inaccurate gun to being absolutely hated for having access to a glitch that allows him to kill any enemy in one or two shots from across the map, making him basically unbeatable in the hands of a competent player. Lando players who used this glitch were often met with conspiratorial teammates who would jump in front of them to block Lando's shots. The hate for Lando died down once the glitch was fixed in the January 2017 patch, [[NeverLiveItDown but the memory of the glitch still lingers]].

** Playing online? Expect to see Jump Packs and Bacta Bombs galore. Jump Packs provide mobility unlike anything else in the game, allow for players to reach objectives incredibly quickly and makes retreat as easy as a button press. Meanwhile, the Bacta Bombs healing powers make it great for a last minute recovery after getting shot at, and can even be used with the Jump Pack to fly into a sitcky situation with some extra durability. Meanwhile, the Personal Shield is the most common pick for the charge-based subweapon, as it protects players running away from an unfavorable situation, provided the enemy [[ArmorPiercingAttack isn't close enough to just melee them and isn't armed with the Cycler Rifle or the Scatter Gun]].

** Most small game modes, especially Cargo, are dominated by blaster pistols due to most of the combat on those tinier maps full of rooms and corridors taking place in close quarters. The most common picks are the DH-17 and the SE-14C due to their high DPS and the former's ease of use. The Scatter Gun is a common subweapon for similar reasons, especially with the omnipresence of Personal Shields.
