Both the Hard Light and Borealis have this issue with their intrinsic perk that puts them to their default element (void) on respawn. Which can easily be annoying to players trying to use the weapons for certain activities, such as Solar/Arc Bounties and shields of PVE enemies. It would be such a quality of life change for the guns to keep their element from they had before death to when they respawn. I can't tell you how many times I want to kill two birds in 1 stone and want to use the Hard Light in PVP for Auto Rifle kills and Solar kills at the same time, but I am hit in the face with the fact that if I want to use Solar on the Hard Light I would have to hold reload twice upon my respawn. every. single. time. It isn't the biggest issue but it definitely would make the guns more enjoyable to use for respective activities when you desire to use them.
