Strategic Environment Destruction

Reshaping the Battlefield Through Destruction

Battlefield 6's Levolution 2.0 destruction system isn't just visual spectacle – it's a tactical tool that fundamentally changes how matches play out. While new players see explosions as chaos, experienced players use destruction strategically to create advantages, eliminate enemy positions, and control the flow of battle.

Understanding Destructible Elements

Fully Destructible:

• Wooden structures and fences
• Interior walls in most buildings
• Glass windows and doors
• Thin metal sheets and barriers
• Vegetation and foliage

Partially Destructible:

• Exterior walls of buildings (can create holes but not collapse)
• Concrete barriers (chip damage reveals positions)
• Vehicle wreckage (can be moved or destroyed further)

Indestructible:

• Main structural supports of major buildings
• Objective markers and spawn points
• Underground bunker walls
• Map boundary structures

Offensive Destruction Tactics

Creating New Sightlines:

• Blow holes in walls to see campers inside
• Remove cover between you and objective
• Open windows that were boarded up
• Clear vegetation blocking line of sight

Flanking Route Creation:

• Blast through walls instead of using doors (predictable entry points)
• Create shortcuts between buildings
• Open passages through barricades
• Connect rooms that weren't linked

Building Collapse:

• Heavy explosives can collapse entire structures
• Enemies inside are killed instantly
• Removes camping spots permanently
• Changes map flow for rest of match

Defensive Destruction Uses

Denying Enemy Cover:

• Destroy walls enemies are using as cover
• Remove objects they're hiding behind
• Collapse roof sections to expose positions
• Clear buildings before they become strongholds

Creating Kill Zones:

• Remove cover in open areas
• Force enemies through exposed routes
• Create clear sightlines for mounted weapons
• Eliminate hiding spots near objectives

Fortification Removal:

• Destroy enemy-placed barricades
• Remove sandbags and defensive positions
• Clear turret placements
• Disable fortified positions

Weapon Effectiveness for Destruction

Most Effective:

• C4/Explosives – large holes, can collapse structures
• Rocket launchers – directed destruction, good for walls
• Tank main guns – massive destruction capability
• Grenade launchers – quick, targeted wall breaches

Moderately Effective:

• Grenades – small holes, window clearing
• LMG sustained fire – can eventually penetrate walls
• Shotguns – door breaching, thin wall penetration

Minimal Effect:

• SMGs and pistols – cosmetic damage only
• Sniper rifles – penetrate but don't destroy
• Melee – breaks windows, nothing more

Map-Specific Destruction Strategies

Every map has key destructible elements that change gameplay:

• Learn which walls open important sightlines
• Know which buildings can collapse
• Identify cover that enemies commonly use
• Understand how destruction changes objective approaches

Spend time in empty servers testing destruction on each map. The knowledge pays dividends in live matches.

Vehicle-Based Destruction

Tanks:

• Can level entire buildings systematically
• Use main gun on structures, save shells for vehicles
• Create paths through urban areas
• Excellent for clearing entrenched defenders

Attack Helicopters:

• Rockets devastate building interiors
• Can collapse weakened structures
• Clear rooftop positions effectively
• Less precise than tanks but faster

Common Mistakes with Destruction

• Destroying your own cover – think before blasting
• Revealing your position – explosions attract attention
• Wasting explosives – save them for strategic destruction
• Ignoring the changes – routes you create work both ways
• Over-destroying – sometimes cover is useful for your team too

Advanced Destruction Techniques

The Delayed Collapse:

• Weaken a building's structure over time
• Wait for enemies to occupy it
• Final explosive collapses everything
• Timing requires map knowledge

The Peek Hole:

• Create small holes for shooting, not walking
• Enemies may not notice the opening
• Provides unexpected firing positions
• Works great with mounted weapons

The Bait Destruction:

• Make obvious explosive noise elsewhere
• Enemies investigate the destruction
• Attack from different direction
• Uses destruction as distraction

Pro Tips for Destruction Mastery

Communicate destruction with your squad – "I'm opening the east wall" lets teammates prepare for the new sightline.

Consider the aftermath – before destroying cover, think about whether you or enemies will benefit more from its removal.

Remember: destruction is permanent within a match. Every wall you blow open, every building you collapse – it stays that way. Make sure your destruction helps your team more than the enemy.
