Deployment checklist
Check the current patch before changing your kit
- Check the patch number and release date in the latest game news.
- Separate the current patch from the latest major content release.
- Read the affected crash or stability notes before troubleshooting locally.
- Check the official Known Issues list for a matching symptom.
- Test one adjusted slot in a familiar mission before rebuilding a loadout.
- Keep dated patch notes separate from early reactions and rumors.
Patch 7.0.2 is the current version
Patch 7.0.2 released on August 25, 2026. It is the newest formal game version, so use that number whenever you compare a current weapon behavior, crash report, or guide revision. A current version label matters because it tells readers whether the information was checked after the latest shipped changes rather than merely after the last major expansion.
What the stability follow-up addresses
The official 7.0.2 announcement identifies crash fixes associated with vehicle customization, Dynamic Resolution Scaling, and the Message of the Day. That is useful troubleshooting context, but it is not a blanket guarantee that every crash or performance problem is resolved. Match the feature and symptom first, then use the official support route when a repeatable problem persists.
Keep Devoid of Liberty in the right context
Devoid of Liberty 7.0.0 remains the latest major content update. It introduced the Void frontier, the Crusher and Wretch Illuminate enemies, SEAF support, a rank-cap increase, and Castellan’s Creed. The distinction is simple: 7.0.0 explains the recent content baseline, while 7.0.2 is the version number players should use for the current live build.
Check Known Issues before judging balance
Arrowhead’s Known Issues list is limited to confirmed problems and is not exhaustive. It currently includes reported issues involving the AR-59 Suppressor, LAS-13 Trident, Lumberer Flamethrower, vehicle controls, and Illuminate behavior in High Value Assets missions. If the symptom matches that list, record it as a confirmed issue rather than assuming that a weapon was deliberately changed or that a mission tactic is invalid.
Use patch-aware guides carefully
A useful build or tier recommendation states its version, faction, difficulty, and squad assumptions. When a guide says 7.0.2, it means the author checked it after the current patch; it does not mean a result is universal across every mission. Change one role or slot at a time in a familiar deployment and re-check the official notes when your experience conflicts with a guide.
