 In a constantly changing battleground, we ought to provide players with the capabilities to move defenses elsewhere even after they have already been enacted. Deconstructing a defense will retain back its material points allowing sappers to make use of those materials to build the defense once more. Contributing further to the strategic element that this update brings with it, destroying the enemy faction's emplacements through the use of various artillery pieces, explosives or melee weapons will deplete materials from their pool and bring them into yours. Sappers can then make use of these materials to further solidify your defensive positions. They can also be pretty effective at destroying enemy defense with their '''sledgehammer''' whilst in '''Deconstruct''' mode.
