A player known as rI1975 successfully dismantled a Bastion in 16 seconds without using the Deadline mine. The player used a hullcracker to shoot the Bastion's knee three times, then targeted the core at the back with three additional shots, followed by a final kill-shot to the internals. The hullcracker has emerged as a powerful alternative to Deadline mines for defeating larger arcs, and the ability to efficiently eliminate Bastions is valuable due to the substantial arc parts they yield.
