Teardown Multiplayer: Co-Op, Modes, Mods, and Setup

Does Teardown Have Multiplayer?

Teardown multiplayer turns a carefully planned heist into a team job for up to 12 players. Online play is available on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with co-op campaign missions, competitive modes, and Sandbox destruction. You can split objectives with friends or spend the session finding increasingly ridiculous ways to dismantle the map.

The free multiplayer update launched on PC on March 12, 2026, followed by PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 15, 2026. It supports private sessions with friends and public lobbies.

Multiplayer is part of the released game. You can leave the old experimental-branch setup instructions behind when getting started with the current version.

How to Play With Friends

Create a private online session for your group, or join a public lobby to play with others. Choose between the campaign, Sandbox, competitive modes, and compatible community content.

Before loading a heavily modded session, decide what everyone wants to do. Completing campaign objectives and testing explosive novelty tools call for very different sessions.

Use this checklist to organize your group:

• Choose the activity: Pick campaign missions for shared objectives, competitive modes for matches, or Sandbox for unrestricted experiments.
• Choose compatible content: Select mods designed to work in multiplayer.
• Check DLC ownership: Everyone joining a Greenwash Gambit session needs that DLC.
• Agree on demolition timing: Use a countdown before setting off explosives near teammates or destroying something they are standing on.

Start with the base campaign or an official map when introducing friends to the game. Add custom tools and vehicles once everyone understands how the objectives and destruction work.

Campaign Co-op: Prepare the Route Together

The full base campaign includes 40 missions playable cooperatively. Its central challenge remains planning how to move through a destructible environment, collect or destroy targets, and escape when the mission demands it.

Many heists give you unlimited preparation time before an alarm triggers the countdown. Use that preparation to open walls, position vehicles, build plank routes, and remove obstacles between objectives.

Divide the work before anyone starts the timed portion:

• Assign targets: Give each teammate a specific objective so everyone knows where to go.
• Build connecting routes: Cut openings between rooms and use ramps where elevation interrupts the path.
• Clear the escape: Move vehicles and debris away from the route to the getaway vehicle.
• Call the start: Wait until everyone reaches their position before triggering an alarm.

More hands also mean more opportunities to damage the plan. Keep explosives away from prepared bridges and vehicles you still need. Put out spreading fires before they interfere with the job.

Use the spraycan to mark routes and important openings. A hole through a wall is much more useful when teammates can find it during the escape.

Competitive Modes and Official Maps

Destructible environments change how a match develops. An opening blasted through a wall can create a new attack route, while demolished cover can leave a previously sheltered position exposed.

Four competitive modes arrived with the multiplayer update:

Mode	Match format or defining feature
Deathmatch	Free-for-all combat
Team Deathmatch	Combat between teams
Capture the Flag	Team play centered on capturing flags
Treasure Thieves	Built-in game mode on Splitfield Estate

The update also introduced Splitfield Estate and Cratertown. Splitfield Estate includes Treasure Thieves, while Cratertown uses a mirrored layout designed for team modes.

In team matches, coordinate demolition with your teammates. Open a route toward the objective, but preserve useful cover along your own approach. Before tearing through a wall, consider who gains a sightline through the opening.

Sandbox, Plane Crashes, and Multiplayer Mods

Sandbox gives your group unlimited resources and the freedom to spawn objects, experiment, and destroy without campaign objectives. This is where a simple vehicle test can become a crane collision, a rocket-powered limousine, or an aircraft demolition challenge.

For a plane-crash session, choose a multiplayer-compatible aircraft map and agree on an experiment before pulling the plane apart. Try removing a wing, damaging an engine, or testing whether everyone can escape the wreck. Keep those challenges tied to the selected map: custom aircraft can behave differently because of their scripts and settings.

Coordinate each attempt:

• Move teammates clear before severing the section they are standing on.
• Keep an extinguisher available when fire would interrupt the experiment.
• Test one major change at a time so you can follow what caused the result.
• Keep the spawn list manageable when large vehicles and debris begin crowding the scene.

On PC, Steam Workshop integration provides community maps, tools, vehicles, and game modes. Choose multiplayer-compatible creations rather than assuming every older mod will work in an online session.

Console players have a curated collection through Mod Packs. Mod Pack 6 introduced 30 multiplayer-friendly mods, including Battle Royale, Vehicle Sumo, and Prop Hunt. More than 40 mods from Mod Packs 1–4 were also updated for multiplayer.

Custom miniguns, unusual wrecking balls, and novelty weapons depend on the content you enable. Build the session around the tools your group actually wants to use.

DLC Co-op and the Upcoming Rally Update

Multiplayer support differs between expansions, so check the specific campaign before organizing a DLC session.

The Greenwash Gambit supports its full campaign in co-op, including all four maps. Its anti-gravity crystals and other distinctive objects are available to spawn in multiplayer, and its campaign tools are available as multiplayer mods.

• August 18 update: Added multiplayer support for Greenwash Gambit.
• Player limit: Up to 12 players, with 2–4 recommended for the campaign experience.
• Ownership requirement: Every participant needs to own the DLC.

You can find the expansion on the Greenwash Gambit Steam page.

Relics of Barkuna is a single-player game, with multiplayer adaptation being explored.

Teardown Rally is a separate free multiplayer update in development. Its September 30 announcement outlined quick races, tournaments, cups, and 18 new vehicles: 12 rally cars and 6 monster trucks. Planned races support up to 12 players and allow competitors to leave their vehicles and damage opposing cars.

Improve Performance During Heavy Destruction

Large collapses, spreading fires, and piles of moving debris can make a session demanding. Scale back simultaneous demolition when the action becomes difficult to follow or performance drops.

The November 3 update added graphics options that can help:

• NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR: Upscaling renders at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the output image to improve frame rates.
• Settings location: Open Options → Graphics → Upscaling to try the available options.

Compare image quality and responsiveness while playing. The performance gain depends on your hardware and settings.

Treat graphics tuning and destruction scale as separate adjustments. Try upscaling for rendering performance, and reduce the number of simultaneous explosions or large spawned objects when the scene becomes overloaded. During a demolition challenge, stagger major blasts so each collapse has room to play out.
