For both guns (only hard light for me cuz Xbox), the following forces an element swap:
-reviving
-scanning
-starting patrol/ep/adventure
-and certainly more
Furthermore, death or starting any new activity defaults the element back to void.
It gets increasingly annoying to have to deal with this. Especially if you most frequently use arc like me. If this could be fixed and an option to set a default element was added alongside the swap mechanic (like hard light used to have), that would be excellent.

I [u]was[/u] an absolute fan boy of Hard Light in D1 and so wanted to have it in D2. But since this rework of the reload changing the element I've hardly used it. I personally would prefer it to be kinetic with a big reduction in the screen shake to what it is currently. R.I.P Hard Light (your wiv da angles now sweet prince) 😔
