=== Ground === [[Drone]]s adapt to [[Damage type (ground)#Energy damage|energy weapons]] (i.e. [[Phaser weapons (ground)|Phasers]] or [[Disruptor weapons (ground)|Disruptors]]) after a few shots, then you will no longer deal damage to them (this is signposted in hovering green text reading "Adapted"). To counter this you must either; *Use a [[Frequency Remodulator]] or similar device (these are often given to you in gateway missions, and can be replicated for free). This adds a button to your abilities tray. When the Borg adapt, click the ability and for a few seconds your character will remodulate their weapon. When it is complete, you will be able to deal damage again. **All your bridge officers on the mission will need their own Frequency Remodulator. **More effective Remodulators (such as the [[Fractal Remodulator]] or [[Tuned Anti-Borg Device]]), traits that improve its efficiency (i.e. {{trait|Omega Graviton Pulse Module}}), and weapons with it integrated (i.e. the [[M.A.C.O. Phaser Battle Rifle]]) can be obtained. **[[Cyclic Modulation weapons (ground)|Cyclic Modulation weapons]] provide another way of remodulating, by changing the weapon's damage type. *Use a weapon causing [[Physical Damage]], such as the [[TR-116B Rifle - Sniper Rifle]], [[Replica Thompson Submachine Gun]], or [[Zefram Cochrane Shotgun]]. Alternatively, use a [[Melee]] weapon such as a [[Klingon Bat'leth]] or [[Vulcan Lirpa]] that deals [[Kinetic Damage]]. Both Physical and Kinetic damage bypasses Borg shield's and hence prevent them adapting. **Beware that in close quarters (required by melee combat), drones will apply an Assimilate [[Damage over Time]] to your character which can cause your character to become a Borg drone and attack formerly friendly targets. **Drones have the ability to transfer a nearby drone's excess [[Personal Shield]] into its main health bar. This removes shields, but gives them a health regen and a [[buff]] to physical and kinetic damage resistance. Borg can anchor you to a spot and if you try to move you will suffer [[Damage_type_(ground)#Electrical|Electrical Damage]] and be pulled back. Borg can also adapt to [[Crowd Control]] abilities.
