There was me thinking a kinetic rifle would be immune to Borg adaptation. But apparently not. Yet I do seem to remember people saying it would be immune, hence why I bought one to do a few accolades on Defera. Disappointed now
.
Best weapon for Defera then please.

Did you by chance have Cryo Immobilizer Module as trait? The Borg don't adapt to kinetic, but they DO adapt to additional effects.

Yes, what he said. Once I spotted that, I turned off that trait. Of course, it makes no difference to the kinetic damage the TR116B does so you really shouldn't worry.

It did appear to have the graphic 'adapted' when I landed a hit and I didn't appear to be doing as much damage as normal.
I will update in a few.

If the borg adapt to something, the damage done will be 1 unit per shot. Also, under your name/headshot thing on the left of the screen a small icon will appear which will say "They've adapted!" and tell you what damage the borg have adapted to when you hover your mouse pointer over it.

The weak defera borgse die too fast to these to spend significant more time contemplating about it.
The borg aren't supposed to be an enemy you can just mindlessly shoot your way through.
there is a rep trait which slows adaptation which is pretty darned OP though. maybe try that.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
@OP: If you have no additional passive effects active, I'd submit a bug report. That's definitely bugged.
