Definitely. Things like the Stalwart or Arc Thrower work well as backups, they can handle crowds or smaller enemies better, though the stalwart almost requires a supply pack to be long term viable, which makes me feel like I'm just running an autocannon build, but I just swapped the autocannon to my primary, and the supply pack for the autocannon ammo pack.

Only something like the Arc Thrower/Blitzer/maybe Laser Cannon eliminate the need for a supply pack, truly creating a new niche build and opening backpack selection up.
