All weapons are usable. In ultimate (and I assume portable third) they patched up the weaknesses of many weapons in Freedom Unite. Weapons that had been regulated to support roles (namely bows, bowguns and hunting horns) were very difficult to use single player in freedom unite (aside for ice bows and rajang). Ultimate buffed up the power for all of the weapons, thus making them more viable solo while at the same time retaining the support utility.
