Summary (AI)

Genome Guardian 2 patch 0.5.11 reduces fire rate on the "Broadside" Bracket and adjusts the "Ammunition" Core to prevent reload time exploits tied to high frame rates. Several gene stats saw accuracy increases, while biomass costs rose for size and range enhancements. Multiple weapons, including the Burn and Proximity families, had damage slightly decreased. Various bug fixes address UI issues, Steam Deck keyboard and mouse support, and tracking improvements for the CGGG "BFG-9000" weapon.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

"Broadside" Bracket: Firerate -50% → -60%.
Look man, you don't need to fire 60 Nukes + 60 BFGs + 60 Trail Rockets per second.
Genes:"Accuracy +50%, Range +30%": Accuracy +50% → +60%."Accuracy +70%, Velocity +100%": Accuracy +70% → +75%."Size +75%, Range +25%": 25 → 30 Biomass.
"Accuracy +50%, Range +30%": Accuracy +50% → +60%.
"Accuracy +70%, Velocity +100%": Accuracy +70% → +75%.
"Size +75%, Range +25%": 25 → 30 Biomass.
Weapon CGGG "BFG-9000":Minor tweaks to the "argent tendrils".Now has unique sound (distinct from the regular "Zap" noises).
Minor tweaks to the "argent tendrils".
Now has unique sound (distinct from the regular "Zap" noises).
Projectiles that speed up or slow down over time (ex. what the "Concentrator" Barrel and "Broadside" Bracket do) will experience less of that effect if they last a long time (it'll feel better this way, and overall Velocity is untouched).
"Taser" Mod: Changed unlock condition (because something else is taking its old unlock condition soon 👀)
"Freon" Mod Unlock Condition: Eliminate 3000 → 2000 Microbes with Freeze weapons.
Popups:would be positioned wrong if aspect ratio was narrower than 16:9 (aka 1920x1080).Some didn't have their text translated.

Weapon CGGG "BFG-9000": Now tracks eliminations properly.
"Reverser" Barrel: Weapons that produce explosions as they travel (like Trailguns) now work properly with this Barrel.
Steam Deck + Keyboard & Mouse: For those players that want KBM support on Steam Deck, I think I've done everything needed to get that working. If you're one of those players, let me know if it works for ya (I don't have either that I can plug into my Steam Deck so I can't really know for certain if I did it right).
Awards: Some counts were getting limited by the maximum size of a float value before.
