“There’s some crazy destruction you can do, but never on the level of Tachanka,” Karpazis says. A demonstration video shows the gun being shot to create a circle in some drywall in order to cut a large opening.
The LMG can be used to cause some incredible damage to a map’s soft walls. “The biggest thing was lifting that LMG off the turret and have him be more mobile.” Originally, Tachanka’s gadget was a deployable MG turret that forced him to stay still. “His main problem was having that turret tying him down to one location,” explains Alex Karpazis, Art Director for Rainbow Six Siege.
