Fans of destructive simulation games will want to check out Teardown, which has recently been released on current-generation consoles and is available on PS Plus Extra. Teardown is a (usually) first-person simulator that offers a nearly entire destructible world and grants players the freedom to deconstruct anything and everything they want in a massive sandbox. Teardown contains a large variety of maps for players to explore, dismantle, and enjoy either in free play or in the game's campaign. Players can wreak havoc through the areas and set entire locations aflame while kicking back on an open beach to watch it all burn down.

Here are the best vehicles players can use for traversal and destruction in the explosive Teardown.

In addition to several large maps, Teardown also provides an assortment of tools that players can use to cause as much chaos as possible. There are a myriad of gadgets and items available to ensure that players never get bored and can always find a way to get the job done. The game even has mod support across all versions, so players may download additional tools if needed. However, the base tools in Teardown are more than enough to destroy everything in sight. Here are some of the best destructive tools in Teardown.

6 Blowtorch

Compact And Versatile

The Blowtorch is the perfect tool to set the world ablaze in Teardown as all flammable surfaces such as wood are at its mercy. The Blowtorch is a compact, hand-held tool that allows players to set fire within a personal range.

The Blowtorch is also great for cutting through reinforced metal and can turn most vehicles in the game, like parked cars and construction vehicles. The blowtorch also has some utility as it can help to navigate treacherous terrain by carving a new path.

5 Sledge Hammer

Simple And Dependable

The sledgehammer is the first tool players will get their hands on as soon as they load into the game. One of the most dependable items in Teardown, the sledgehammer can destroy almost anything that is metal or reinforced.

It's a personal range melee tool that has a decent swing speed, so players won't have to worry about ammo or fuel. The sledgehammer is just pure fun thanks to its simplicity of swing-and-destroy tactics.

4 Shotgun

Powerful And Precise

While firearms are not the go-to choice for many types of destruction games, Teardown does introduce several high-powered weapons that can have a big impact on gameplay. They allow players to breach hard-to-reach locations and tear through weak materials.

The shotgun is the first ranged option that players will get their hands on in the campaign, and it fires a tight spread of pellets at a reasonable distance. While there is an ammo limit, players can turn almost everything into Swiss cheese with proper aim.

3 Rocket Launcher

Destruciton From A Far

Ballistic options in Teardown are strong with precise destruction capabilities. However, there are options for a wider range of damaging tools. The rocket launcher is a powerful projectile that can cause some major damage and has a much larger range than other explosive options in the game.

While ammunition for this tool can be pricey, it can be extremely helpful when exploring specific maps in Teardown. More importantly, the rocket launcher is just extremely fun to use.

2 Bomb

Catastrophic Hand-Held Device

There are a number of contained explosive options and hand-held choices for players in Teardown, one of which is great for cracking reinforced doors, safes full of valuables, and other secret structures that protect valuable items or make destroying them that much more enjoyable.

While some simulator games try to be realistic and authentic, these quirky games opted for a stranger approach

The bomb is a high-powered explosive that can be stuck to structures and surfaces before exploding after a short countdown. The bomb causes massive damage to its entire surrounding area and out-damages most other tools in the game.

1 Pipebomb

Quick And Easy Damage

As the first unlocked explosive, the Pipebomb is not as powerful as the sticky Bomb but it does pack quite the punch when going for moderately controlled damage to large structures and can cause major damage to most vehicles. The Pipebomb comes in handy thanks to its "throw and forget about it" playstyle.

Players can toss the Pipebomb much like a grenade, and it will explode with whatever it comes in contact with. The Pipebomb is not without risk as it can backfire and make for a bad day for the player.
