Pack the sunscreen, bring the infantry, and try not to get your cover blown up. Mantis.King’s Beach Trip trades a relaxing seaside getaway for a microscale tactical problem: an infantry squad sheltering between two Drooping Trees. Suddenly, finding a shady spot feels considerably more urgent.
The trees are a new terrain design for Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack, and each can take just one Hit before being destroyed. That’s a neat little design brief: give the battlefield some character, give the troops somewhere to hide, and don’t let anyone get too comfortable. No beachfront bunkers here.
I’m a sucker for LEGO scenery that has a job beyond looking pretty. These trees bring a specific gameplay consequence to the beach, turning landscaping into a tactical decision. Want to grow your own disposable shade? Mantis.King has a construction breakdown on the Mobile Frame Garage blog. Just remember: this vacation package includes absolutely no guarantee of tree cover.
