[@DarkRecon], [@ammokkx], [@Ariamis] I threw this up in discord as my recommendation for Maria's AP Load out, but moving it over here because it got no notice there, and also expanding on the weapons and such a little better.. So, going with a Multi-Weapon load-out, as mentioned before.

[hider=Assault Shot Gun]
Short Range, heavy impact kinetic rounds. Possible knock-back on heavily armored targets. 8 rounds loaded, additional set of 8 stored on board, requires a round to reload. [img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/003/453/720/large/natiq-aghayev-screen03.jpg?1473843792[/img][/hider]

[hider=Laser Sniper Rifle]
Long Range, Energy rounds. Can be used for quick shots doing medium damage, or a charged shot for more damage. One round charge, two rounds cool off. [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CYXrqM-3tmM/THS6SU7iGDI/AAAAAAAACr8/zQZsmtRmpgk/s1600/wingzero-4.jpg[/img][/hider]

[hider=Shield]
Small personal shield designed to house the assault shotgun when not in use for easy access. Shield is of Medium Armor Class. [img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/769/778/large/julien-denamur-gundam-wing-shield-clean.jpg?1515185317[/img][/hider]

That's the three weapons I would choose. Doing a mimic of Jake's werk with more drones isn't really in the spirit of the mech design for quick/easy deployment, in my personal opinion. So if DarkRecon agrees, these would be my suggestion, assuming boss gives his blessings. There is room for one more weapon/system on the standard load out on assault packs for 4 units, so if Boss says Maria can have the Cruxi sword she used on the space station then I know Dark mentioned wanting to use that.
