: This update added a major new map, Evertides Mall, along with a Part 1 campaign mission titled "Covert Chaos".
The update fully integrates content from the Time Campers DLC, allowing for more diverse sandbox scenarios.
Teardown’s global illumination relies on a limited number of ray bounces without heavy temporal denoising, which sometimes produces a fuzzy or "speckly" texture on surfaces. To combat this and elevate the image to extra quality:
Use the new particle control to maximize debris, smoke, and sparks. This makes every wall fracture feel more substantial. teardown v151 extra quality
Achieving “extra quality” is a balancing act between visual fidelity and performance. Here’s how to find the sweet spot for your system.
(by Tuxedo Labs) is a voxel-based heist & destruction simulator. Version v151 is a stable, mid-2024 build (pre- Fully Loaded DLC expansion). The “Extra Quality” (EQ) mod suite is a community compilation that overhauls lighting, shadows, particle effects, texture filtering, and LOD distances—essentially making the game look and run better than vanilla on high-end hardware.
The facility was a graveyard of over-engineered titan-drones, built with reinforced carbon-steel plating so thick that standard demolition tools just bounced off. For Jax, a freelance "Teardown" specialist, the V151 contract was the ultimate payday. The mission was simple: bypass the security grids and reduce the central core to scrap metal before the automated lockdown finished. : This update added a major new map,
For players seeking “extra quality,” version 1.5.1 is the ideal foundation. The move to DirectX 12 and the performance optimizations mean that you can now push visual settings higher than ever before without tanking your frame rate.
: The official version gives you access to thousands of community-made maps and tools safely.
In the community, "extra quality" often refers to the trade-off between visual fidelity and performance. To achieve playable frame rates in v1.5.1, many users utilize (often under 100%). While the game supports software raytracing and pathtracing for high-end lighting, lower frame rates can cause visual artifacts like "sparkling" or blurring. Despite this, v1.5.1 is noted for being "hilariously well-optimized" compared to its predecessors, with some mobile GPUs (like the RTX 3050) reaching over 140 FPS at 75% render quality.

If you are looking for a literal technical explanation of a teardown:
| If you have… | Recommendation | |--------------|----------------| | (RTX 2060+) | ✅ Yes – transforms visuals, still 60+ FPS | | GTX 1060 / laptop GPU | ⚠️ Only at 720p or with FSR mod | | Vanilla purist | ❌ No – changes the mood too much | | Modded campaign player | ✅ Yes – works with MapLoader and most custom heists |
Many users choose to disable these for a "cleaner" look, as they can sometimes interfere with the clarity of voxel destruction.
