Whenever the idea of fully destructible environments comes up the question of cover immediately rises. If everything can be destroyed, how do you prevent the map from flattening without leaving some parts of it indestructible. This video aims to answer that.

The games showcased are used for visualization, not necessarily as direct examples of the suggestions. Most however are quite cool in the destruction aspect and I've covered them in some form here on the channel.
Also, the OGs of the channel may remember the first clip seen here.
