The author utilized Chaos and Niagara Fluids to set up the sim.
For those unaware, Niagara Fluids is a plug-in for UE5 that brings real-time fluid effects to the engine. With Niagara Fluids, you get access to standard fluids templates that help you create such visual effects as fire, smoke, gas, and others. The plug-in adds both 2D templates, optimized for games, and 3D templates, designed primarily to be used in cinematics.
Combining the two together, the artist has set up an outstanding crumbling wall simulation, complete with an appealing attack FX and realistic-looking smoke. According to the creator, the sim runs in real-time and uses the 5.3 version of the engine.
