Dynamic Range: A major goal for Rift Tour was to achieve a sentimental moment. An expression of support, during trying times, in a way only Fortnite can. Take a moment to help each other, and elevate one another. #RiftTour

@FortniteGame destruction system got a massive upgrade. The FX team has been focused for awhile. Massive re-factor to core system, that touched every world asset in the game. It's all procedural Niagara driven. Not only better quality, but fewer assets to manage!

The beauty of this is, no pre-fracturing of meshes. It's all managed via Mats, Niagara, and BP. The system is also fed a vector to determine which direction and velocity to launch debris, by impact location and damage type.
