In a related development, an optional New State Mobile update has been released for Android users. The update fixes an issue where players could not fire their weapons when trying to shoot after moving away from an obstacle that was blocking their sight. It also resolves a problem where the player could set the FPS to “High” on low-end devices. Krafton says that an “equivalent update for iOS devices is currently in the works and will be available in the near future.”
