But turns out, it’s not as intense as in Fortnite. In that game, you get pieces -- walls, slopes, floors -- that you assemble into structures. But in Army Attack, items are ready-built and scattered around like normal loot, and all you need to do is tap to deploy them in battle.

It’s absolutely helpful, but there’s a catch: It’s a little slow to unfold and recycle (yes, you can put it back in your bag after using it once), and you have to drop your weapon when doing it.

And because it only covers a limited field, there’s always the chance that you can get shot from the other side. For example, here’s how I didn’t quite appreciate the angles involved when building this piece of cover… especially when building it outside the circle of death (oops).

Apart from building walls in front of yourself, the new mode offers other fun tricks. For example, you can create decoy versions of yourself, either standing still or running, to distract your enemy. But I didn’t really find out whether it was useful, because I spent my time placing them together for a fun group picture.

It seems like Army Attack is now trying to attract fans by offering some variety from the standard PUBG experience. You can also put up a ladder and climb straight into the second floor, or use a jetpack to fly around for better views. The game’s maker Timi Studio also says that players can camouflage themselves as a rock… but we haven’t found that one yet.
