Borealis can | Borealis' rounds are charged with Light, and can be switched between Arc, Solar, and Void Energy upon the alternate fire command. As a weapon able to switch between all 3 elements, it may seem to harbor much utility for endgame content where multiple shields may be encountered, and modifiers such as Match Game may apply. However, due to its reliance on Special Ammo, it is outclassed by its sister weapon, Hard Light, which utilizes Primary Ammo and can also swap between all 3 Light elements. Ionic Return does provide a 40% damage boost in PVE after breaking a matching shield with it, until the magazine empties or a manual reload is performed, so it can still be effectively utilized if a player so wishes to use it. | ||

"Project Borealis's onboard systems contain a pocket energy matrix capable of changing its alignment in a near instant to mimic the spectral frequencies of mapped energy types. The science is groundbreaking, but volatile. We're lucky to have this first, stable model available for active combat use. More will surely come, but for now, the Borealis is the only one of its kind that I trust for real world application." | "Project Borealis's onboard systems contain a pocket energy matrix capable of changing its alignment in a near instant to mimic the spectral frequencies of mapped energy types.
