So now you can really plant some bombs

A screenshot of bomb site B from Counter-Strike’s de_dust, only recreated in the Teardown engine which makes the entire level destructible.

Teardown uses its destructible technology to power a series of heist missions, in which you must blow a path between objectives so you can steal or destroy a set of them and escape within sixty seconds. It’s wonderful, and I maintain a better and more interesting game than a simple first-person shooter that used this same destructibility would be.

The Steam Workshop page notes that the level is still a work in progress, but it’s handmade and took more than two months of full-time work to create.

To be clear, this is a visual recreation of de_dust2. There’s no combat or multiplayer - just the architectural space to walk around and explode. It’s still hella impressive - and for me, it’s more than enough. I’d relish the opportunity to revisit all kinds of classic levels with this toolset, and to re-make them in my own crumbled image.

The Teardown mod scene has been in full swing sinceSteam Workshop support was added two weeks ago. The base game remains worth your time, too - it wasone of our favourites from last year, despite still being in early access.

Thanks for the tip,Patrick.
