Advanced Destruction System (ADS)
Söldner has a complex destruction system. What you see is what you can destroy – even online in a multiplayer game. Explosions leave real craters. Once the player fired a missile at the enemy line, it will change the game scenery and causes serious damage: either the opponent is the direct target or will stumble in a well prepared pit. Tear down walls or smash complete houses to improve your own situation. That allows players to create secret shelter or conquer hidden areas. An unprecedented freedom of action is guaranteed.

With ADS your destructions will not only appear on your screen. It will also be visible for all the other online gamers. Every other player can recognize immediately when i.E. a new crater arises in the game. Shoot some foliage or even fell whole trees to hide perfectly in the new created surrounding. Due to this perfect camouflage the player will be nearly invisible for the enemy.
