Summary (AI)

Patch 0.8.2 for Genome Guardian 2 increases the damage of the "Snare" Guardian from +50% to +60%. Various issues with the "Tractor" Barrel disabling Knockback interactions with the "Tempest" Guardian, "Gloves," and "Magnet" mods have been clarified with warnings and fixes. The RECORDS menu now correctly displays large numbers and prevents some stats from decreasing or accumulating incorrectly. Several bugs were addressed, including weird behavior with "Tractor" Barrel and "Disc" Bracket, missing hover text tips, shop item replacements with DNA Letters, and issues in DRAFT mode and SKIP SHOP functionality. Additionally, it was fixed that players could unlock achievements for DEPTH 5 without properly completing it.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

"Tractor" Barrel + "Gloves" Mod: Gloves won't buff Knockback since Tractor Barrel disables Knockback.
"Tractor" Barrel + "Magnet" Mod: Magnet does nothing since Tractor Barrel disables Knockback.
Hover Text "TIP"s: None of them were appearing in-game for Mods that have a newbie "TIP" text line set (note that you won't see these anyway if you've used the Mod many times).
"Tractor" Barrel + "Disc" Bracket: was producing weird behaviour when used with Hitscan weapons.
"EVASION FROM CHIPS CAN'T EXCEED 50%!" Chip-add warning was appearing when trying to add the wrong Chip.
Sometimes, locked shop items would get replaced with DNA Letters - this was flying under my radar for a long time.
It was possible to unlock stuff (and get achievements for) completing DEPTH 5 in any Mode without ever having done so.
