Summary (AI)
Patch 0.8.1 for Genome Guardian 2 addresses several gameplay tweaks and bug fixes. The "BOMBARDMENT!" Powerpolyp no longer damages harmful purple Abyss Deposits, while the area of effect for Freeze and Explosive Deposits has been slightly increased. Several projectile and weapon mods, including "Compressor," "Seismograph," and proximity weapons with Bounce or Pierce, have been fixed to function correctly and avoid unintended damage behavior. The Mercy mutation now consistently prevents damage at full health, including against Deposits. Quality-of-life improvements include clearer menu animations, proper disabling of projectile trails in Potato Mode, and red tinting for critical explosions with the Chromaelstrom weapon.
Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
