How to Control Chaos Destruction in Unreal Engine 5 (Anchor Fields)
In this tutorial we’re using Anchor Fields to control Chaos Destruction in Unreal Engine 5.

This setup gives you control over what stays fixed and what is allowed to move, so your destruction feels intentional instead of random!
Your mesh breaks now, but if your fractured pieces look hollow or unfinished, your setup is still incomplete.
Here’s how to properly add interior materials to your Geometry Collections:
