In this official video from Epic Games, we can see the infamous mech BRUTE being completely destroyed after a dinosaur falls on its head from a junk rift.
Not only does the new item allow players to easily kill annoying mechs, but it also grants them a way to destroy enemy builds and combat enemies camping in 1×1 structures.
People are already having fun with the new Junk Rift item. It is yet to be seen how professional players will utilize the item in competitive play.
