Weapons the Borg can not Adapt to? Can we get some?

The Borg do not adapt to Space weapons in STO so why can´t we get some Ground Weapons the Borg can not adapt to? One thing that crossed my mind is :Why can the Borg adapt to cold? Cold is Cold. The Borg in ENT were frozen until the got warmed up again so they can survive but not adapt (their shields) to cold..
So make the Nukara and Breen Weapons with Cold damage also Anti-Borg weapons or make some Kinetic Rifles like Picards Holo-Machinegun from First contact.
Or Electro weapons...
This is 2409/2410 so Voyager and Seven of Nine are back for 30 years and brought home some interesting information about the Borg and Picard also has some knowledge about them..
i dont want them to be totally overpowered but maybe on the same level as the MACO rifle.

yes you could use one of the other melee weapon if you want.
and they had a kinetic rifle, I forgot how you get it.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
It would throw the entire adaption mechanic out the window and devalue the STF ground sets as well as the rep power that lets you go longer without remodulating.
With that in mind theres not even any reason to have such weapons, since the built-in remodulators in the sets are instant.
Going caveman on the borg is fun.

Why shouldn't people be required to use gear tailored towards a particular type of foe in order to fight them most effectively? :rolleyes:
"ALL" the reps do this.
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, would be the Everything Stopper. And all you have to do is modify the rounds to carry a miniature bio-molecular payload, and then you start mowing down Undine by the hundreds as well.
no too small, need t- rex mounted mini klingon anti undine weapons.

The Borg DO adapt to Space weapons.
Rather they would if the ships weapons weren't automatically remodulating CONSTANTLY.
you see the borg have something VERY powerful called plot armor, they pretty much could do whatever the hell the writers wanted them to with their "adaptation" in the shows, STO actually made them less ridiculous(sadly cryptic also made the undine capable of being assimilated which is incredibly stupid, but oh well).
cryptic won't give us weapons they cannot adapt to because, they either would be extremely overpowered, or far too weak to bother with(nevermind is kinda hard to beat a pulsewave, even against borg).
I'd be fine with returning to that state. Remodulation was supposed to make it feel more like they were dangerous, and more like they were a threat. It doesn't work. It's just another button to push.
just saying
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

Edit: Like what others already suggested.
Meleeing the Borg is usually not a good strategy.
Aside from non-adaptable weapons, may I suggest weapons that have more damage-per-shot. I believe that borg adapt after X amount of shots.
really cause it works great for me, then again I melee everything.

Yup. Usually it's not. You have to build for it. And not all professions do it well enough even when built for it.
I don't think it's so much the cold as the wind, snow, and ice. I mean they seemed to do fine in the vacuum of space when they were they were trying to make communication with the Borg of the 21st century, and built that device on the deflector.

It's usually not a good idea because you run the risk of assimilation. Hence why, the annoyance of adaptation aside, everyone in the actual shows/movies usually tried to stay as far away from the Borg as possible and shoot at them.
However, it's possible that through a combination of a skill, gear, luck, and teammates with the same, you've managed to make it work for you.
You still won't see me going anywhere within arms reach of an Elite Tactical Drone if I can help it, even with MACO gear and a Tholian sword.
Running up and fighting Undine in melee is a similarly terrible idea, due to the toxin dot they can inflict. They fall over a lot easier than the Borg, admittedly, but I ended up rezzing quite a few teammates who thought they could melee their way through Undine Infiltration Elite, all the same. After awhile, I wanted to believe that some of them were just trolls, and they couldn't all be that ignorant....
really undine too... there no way I'm that good or lucky, and I solo mostly. then again I don't do elite content outside of exploring and crystalline catastrophe

Then you're probably sux at STF grounds. Melee is a must for STF grounds. Without melee, you wont probably finish some of the STF grounds.
