Second, with the enhanced strength and speed, normal restrictions don't quite apply as strongly. See Nora, Ruby, and others who still move crazy fast for how much ordinance they're hauling and usually swinging. And besides, there are a few slow moving heavy hitters in canon like Coco, Yatsu, Sage, and probably more I'm forgetting.

So variety is good, and the heaviest ranged weapons can drop large threats well outside of minimum range, even though minimum range is barely a thing in Remnant. Again, see Ruby and Nora. Even with heavy melee weapons, the tradeoff for being slower is that you can quickly drop a large, deadly enemy, and do so consistently. True, though a Ram would likely be closer range then ever a hammer and a scythe since you would be holding it with two hands but i still think it could be useful as a good weapon. As for the back thing - i didn't know that, it kinda elevates my fear because i thought the backpack part would be too big and heavy for the oc to carry around without problems (this is indeed for an OC down the line).
