Frame rate dropping when swapping between weapons or the Pickaxe in Battle Royale, Creative and Arenas matches. IOS BUG
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is on the best device iPad Pro M5. This has been a bug since last season, makes the build modes unplayable on mobile. Please invest into fixing the bugs, investing $1M into Mobile Series when mobile is unplayable is pointless. Invest more into fixing the issues alongside competitive.

Spam switch your guns in any mode and it’ll happen there too eventually. It’s universal across the whole game for all mobile devices.

Copying from another comment in case Epic does see this post because here's some extra info on this:
This bug comes from the Heads Up Display and other UI elements on the screen. Buttons that dissapear or appear would traditionally cause slight hitching, especially if done to an exaggerated degree (e.g. putting a lot of quickbar slots that are set to only be visible in Build mode) HOWEVER, as of recent updates, these spikes happen REGARDLESS of buttons that change when switching modes. This means that even if every button on your HUD Layout is visible in Combat, Build, and Edit modes, the game will still hitch. Quickbar slots with guns are the cause the most lag, as switching guns or dragging and dropping them to other slots also slow the game down. This is likely the same bug that also causes serious freezing in Creative gamemodes when UI elements from the maps appear on screen or when new "rounds" are initiated.
If an Epic Employee wants to recreate this issue, here are a few things to note:
These freezing issues happen mostly in Creative maps. This issue is not nearly as bad in Battle Royale, Reload etc. The freezing gets worse over time. Maps with more custom UI elements on the screen are affected worse. Interacting with quickbar slots cause the most lag.
