How to Unlock All Tools in Sandbox

Want the rocket launcher without working through a string of heists? The Teardown unlock all tools shortcut is the built-in sandbox unlock option. It opens the arsenal for free experimentation, giving you room to learn each tool before using it under campaign pressure.

To access the sandbox unlocks:

  1. Open the game’s Options menu.
  2. Find the difficulty/accessibility settings and their sandbox controls.
  3. Enable the option for unlocking all sandbox tools.
  4. Enable all sandbox levels too if you want access to the campaign locations.
  5. Enter Sandbox and choose a map.

Sandbox gives you fully upgraded tools and unlimited resources without mission objectives. You can practice cutting through buildings, connecting objects, or launching vehicles without watching an escape timer.

The tool and level unlocks apply to Sandbox. Campaign equipment follows its own progression, so return to Sandbox whenever you want unrestricted access to the arsenal.

How Campaign Tool Unlocks Work

The campaign begins with a sledgehammer, spraycan, and fire extinguisher. Completing objectives increases your score, raises your rank, and brings new equipment deliveries to your home base.

Each completed objective contributes one score point. Optional targets therefore help you reach new ranks sooner alongside the required objectives. When you return home after earning new equipment, collect the delivered tools before heading out again.

Your expanding arsenal includes:

  • Blowtorch and shotgun: More ways to cut through obstacles and open routes.
  • Planks and cables: Tools for building paths and connecting objects.
  • Pipe bombs, bombs, and rocket launcher: Explosive options for clearing structures and destroying targets.
  • Rocket boosters and vehicle thrusters: Equipment for experimenting with propulsion.
  • BlueTide: A consumable that briefly increases your running speed.

Complete optional objectives when you can fit them into your escape plan. If an extra target keeps ruining an otherwise successful mission, continue through the campaign and return with more equipment.

Remember that individual missions can restrict your loadout. During the Muratori Islands portion, you arrive with basic tools and supplement them with equipment found locally. An unlocked arsenal does not mean every mission lets you bring everything.

Unlocking Tools and Buying Upgrades Are Separate

Acquiring a tool gives you access to it. Upgrading it improves characteristics such as ammunition, fuel, dimensions, or explosive power.

Cash from hidden valuables pays for upgrades at your base. Search rooms, shelves, attics, and other tucked-away spaces during preparation, before you trigger the alarm.

Several upgrades directly affect route planning:

  • Plank length and quantity let you construct longer paths and place more connections.
  • Blowtorch fuel increases the time available for cutting.
  • Bomb capacity and blast size expand your demolition options.
  • BlueTide upgrades improve its speed boost and duration.

Upgrade the equipment your planned route actually uses. Extend your planks when a crossing needs more reach, or increase explosive capacity when preparing shortcuts consumes your available bombs.

Test new equipment at home or in Sandbox. Practice attaching a plank ramp, cutting an opening, or positioning explosives before depending on that action during a timed escape.

Make Campaign Progression Easier With Built-In Settings

If you want to keep playing missions while reducing the difficulty, use the campaign accessibility options. These include adjustments to alarm time, ammunition, and health, plus the ability to skip missions.

Increase the alarm window when your route works but leaves too little room for mistakes. Adjust ammunition when you want more freedom to prepare openings and clear obstacles.

Keep the alarm wiring intact during preparation. Breaking a wire or tampering with an alarm box triggers the countdown, even if you have barely started arranging your route.

Extra Tools From Mods and Expansions

Additional content brings equipment beyond the main campaign arsenal. Art Vandals, the free mini campaign, introduces the Paperboy Gun and Jackhammer across five heist missions.

On PC, Steam Workshop support provides access to community tools and other mods. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, curated Mod Packs offer selected community creations.

For multiplayer mods, enable compatible versions through the host’s session setup. The host controls which mods are active, and scripted mods are not automatically compatible with multiplayer.

Paid expansions also have their own content. Sandbox unlock settings do not replace DLC ownership; everyone joining a Greenwash Gambit multiplayer session needs to own that expansion.
