Gear Boosts

At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, you learn a trick called a gear boost that make you better with a particular type of weapon or armor. Choose from the gear boosts listed below. Some gear boosts require you to reach a certain soldier level to select them; this level is indicated in parentheses after the boost’s name.

Alkali Conversion (Ex; 7th Level)

Source Tech Revolution pg. 33
As a move action, you can adjust the payload of a weapon you wield that deals acid damage, briefly converting it into an alkaline and equally caustic substance. Until the end of your turn, your attacks with the weapon treat the acid resistance of targets as 5 lower (minimum 0) for the purposes of resisting the weapon’s acid damage. At 15th level, the alkaline attacks instead treat the acid resistance of targets as 10 lower, and such attacks deal their minimum acid damage to targets immune to acid rather than dealing no damage.
