Fixed joint 2D
Why is there no fixed joint 2D? I want to connect some 2D physics objects with fixed joints, which are supposed to be break-able. How do I achieve this if there are no fixed 2D joints? Parenting?
Any help is appreciated!

Well depending on what you want to achieve parenting could be the solution.
But we need more information: How do you rigidbodies need to behave? What should trigger their seperation? If force to break them is the only possible trigger, then you got a problem, because breakforce is not (yet) implemented for rigidbody2D, at least according to my own research and the official documentation.
Possible workarounds: If you ca set up your breaking trigger event as detectable by a script (a collision with a certain relative velocity (Unity Docs, relative Velocity) you can emulate the breakforce effect. Relative velocity will return the collision velocity (sum of 2 colliding objects' velocity).
If such an event is noticed by the engine and reported to your OnCollsionEnter() function, you can then trigger a parent detachment with transform.parent = null;
If you have further questions, dont hesitate to ask!
Sorry about the lack of information. You assumed correctly. Force is supposed to break the joint. I thought about the parenting solution, but I thought it would be hard to make it behave realistically. I'll try though. Thanks!
