From there, AF1 Armor&nbsp;Fraggers&nbsp;serve to&nbsp;burn&nbsp;the&nbsp;captors alive&nbsp;(thus the \u201cgrilling\u201d part).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the existing&nbsp;\u201cPlanting Unit death trap,\u201d devised by Endfield players,&nbsp;using Pipe Bridges allows for&nbsp;much&nbsp;tighter spacing and more efficient use of build area. On the downside,&nbsp;since Pipe Bridges are small,&nbsp;you&nbsp;have to&nbsp;install&nbsp;a large number of&nbsp;them, which&nbsp;makes&nbsp;setup more labor-intensive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arknights-endfield-20260323-431462-002-1080x608-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arknights-endfield-20260323-431462-002-1080x608-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arknights-endfield-20260323-431462-002-1080x608-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/arknights-endfield-20260323-431462-002-1080x608-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After testing this \u201cofficially-endorsed\u201d&nbsp;death cage, I can confirm that&nbsp;it deals with enemies quite quickly.
