Helldivers 2 7.2.0 adds anti-cheat and weapon updates

Patch 7.2.0 introduces Easy Anti-Cheat, revises a bug-strain system, and includes balance changes for selected weapons.

  • The update implements Easy Anti-Cheat alongside extra security tools intended to strengthen game-integrity protection.

  • The strain that can spawn Bile Warriors, Spewers, and Scavengers is separated out and controlled by Game Masters, with an activity indicator.

  • The PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle's reload time is reduced from 3.3 seconds to 2.7 seconds.

  • Sickle variants have a shorter trigger-to-fire delay, reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0.33 seconds.
