The previously limited-time Summer Event is now a permanent, togglable feature. Other additions include quality-of-life enhancements, updated map markers, a new "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment, and more. However, the most discussed change centers on the updated physics engine and its impact on character visuals.

As highlighted by the development team, the update noticeably increases the animation of Eve's body. Comparisons show a significant difference in the level of movement, with the updated version exhibiting more pronounced animation.

Shift Up has consistently showcased Eve's design, but this update enhances the visual presentation further, impacting not only character models but also equipment interactions with wind effects. Social media reactions praise the improved realism, with comments comparing the new physics to "real-time CG."

While the updated physics affects various elements, the most noticeable change is the increased animation of Eve's physique, as clearly demonstrated in the provided GIFs.
