"But, when our conversation veered into talking about how to balance maps that can blow up in all kinds of ways, I had to ask if they had a tool or button that lets them destroy everything in one click. So I asked and got a blunt answer: "Yeah," said Chubb. I then asked if it was fun to hit that button, and both Chubb and Uchil replied, with laughter in their voices, that yes, it was indeed fun to hit that big button."
""It is fun!" Chubb told Kotaku while laughing more. "It usually causes some big meltdowns in teams working on performance because we designed the maps not to be instantly triggered, like every instance of destruction [all at once]. And [the button was pressed] a few times, and t here were some raised eyebrows about what we were doing for sure.""
Battlefield 6 features two of the franchise’s largest maps and a remade Operation Firestorm map available at launch. Developers Jeremy Chubb and Shashank Uchil confirmed the Frostbite engine contains a single-button tool that destroys all destructible elements on a map. The button is enjoyable to use but can trigger performance meltdowns during testing because maps were not designed to have all destruction triggered simultaneously. The tool has been used multiple times during development, prompting raised eyebrows among performance teams. The primary purpose of the tool is to allow easy playtesting of maps in their most destroyed state to ensure fun and balance.
