Arrowhead deployed patch 1.007.200 on October 20. The software swaps out GameGuard for Easy Anti-Cheat and brings extra safety utilities designed to safeguard software security. The patch also provides better support for DirectX 12.

The update includes a balance pass for weapons from the Killzone and Halo Legendary Warbonds and a rebalance for the Sickle, reports say. Arrowhead Game Studios says the PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle will now have faster charge and cooldown times. The studio also says the Orbital Airburst Strike will have a tighter shrapnel spread to better saturate target areas.

Arrowhead Game Studios notes that some known issues remain and a follow-up patch may be released soon.
