Change Hard Light's element swap mechanic to Borealis' mechanic

Simply put, Hardlight is a pretty interesting weapon on-paper. As it stands in-practice, the screen shake is pretty absurd, and the way you swap elemental type with it is cumbersome and obtuse. Compare that to the Borealis sniper that PS4 users have, where they simply have to hold square (I assume that's their reload button) to cycle the elemental type. We know since the Borealis works as it does that it's possible to make weapons with this type of element swapping mechanic, so why does Hard Light get saddled with having to go through the menus. Even worse, Borealis can still swap elements in Prestige content, meanwhile Hard Light cannot swap elements in Prestige content since the element is a mod which is locked out once you're in a Prestige mission, etc. I propose simply being able to hold your reload button/key to swap the elemental type of Hard Light the same way the Borealis functions, which would greatly improve its versatility and usability in all content, and even make it a viable choice during Prestige content.
