War Scenarios in Teardown: A Guide to Simulating Modern Conflicts

Most of the Teardown players might not realize how many possibilities this game holds. From the outside it looks like a simple demolitions game - however, with the help of mods, it can be a WW3 simulator like no other.

Seriously, I don't think there's any other game, not even RTS such as WARNO or Broken Arrow that would give you the amount of freedom that teardown gives to a simulation of World War 3 or any other modern conflict.

In this guide I'll give you a step by step HELP, TIPS and CONFIGURATIONS on how to do so. Apart from just giving exemplary mods that you can use, I'll explain what every mod does, how would it make use in different scenarios and how to use them properly. Don't let the length of this guide fool you - it's worth reading if you know what you want. While it might seem extensive, it's not.

There are only three things that you will need in order to have fun and discover the full potential of this game and - a relatively decent PC, creativity and mods (+ this guide).

The scenarios you can create using this guide are, for example, World War 3 in different continents (regional conflict gone hot), Middle East conflicts with terrorist groups and even World War 2 (some of the mods here offer this possibility, however this isn't the main aim of this guide). Those are only examples, though - it's all up to your imagination. The main focus of this guide, however, is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the scenario of this war turning into a world war - redirecting into Europe, USA or even the Middle East.

This guide, most likely, contains everything you've seen in those "realistic teardown military" videos - just a little thing I'd like to point out.

This guide can also work as your hand-book, helping you with choosing appropriate vehicles for your scenario, rather than looking for them in the spawner.

(You can skip this section if you don't really care)

I'm a day-one teardown player (not saying that I know this game like the back of my head, but I have quite a bit of experience), I have started playing it way back in October 29th of 2020 and since then, for the past few years, I have been simulating countless wars just out of pure boredom.

At first, when the game came out, there were NO MODS AT ALL. All I had were default maps, default weapons, default vehicles and, well... the voices in my head. Thankfully I was creative enough to imagine non-existant characters and the dialogues between them. Believe me or not, it was a lot of fun.

I still do it, but not to that extent - now, you're able to, for example, spawn ragdolls, so you don't have to imagine them anymore (but it's still useful to do so, since ragdolls can cause a lot of performance drops). Now, with the help of mods, you can spawn and do practically anything. From weapons and vehicles to maps and enviromental/weather modifiers. Almost everything you've ever wanted is here, in Teardown workshop thanks to the awesome modders.

I love this game with the bottom of my heart as it's a game that you can always come back to and just mess around without having to worry about anything. All you're left with while playing this game is just you and your creativity. I know what I'm looking for in this game, and so do you, if you're reading this guide.

I'm making this guide mostly for my friends to whom I'm recommending this game and for the people that want to feel the maximum immersion and possibilities of recreating real life scenarios or their own ones. There might be much more than what I have included in this guide, however, this is how I have been playing for the past few years.

I'll dive into the mods slowly so that you don't feel overwhelmed. I tried my best (yes, I really did) to optimize this guide as much as possible so that you won't have any trouble with looking for anything.

Don't feel disappointed just because you don't see MBTs like T-90, M1 Abrams or Latina-Destroyer-Tank right away. Be patient and follow the guide step by step (or at least I recommend doing so) and you'll get to the good part in no time.

Please note that if some sections might seem rather empty, they are NOT. This guide gives you the FULL experience and I think it's really extensive. Some mods that will be linked simply offer just enough for the section to look empty.

Some content from different sections might contain the same mods. Why? Some mods can include, for example, vehicles and weapons / props and ragdolls at the same time. They are called packs.

One really important note before you look into sections "[3.X]" - Teardown modding community has changed during those years quite a lot. The first framework that came to the workshop, AVF (Armed Vehicles Framework) was the king of all the military vehicles, it was great. However, pretty recently AVF's younger brother has been born - TABS (Teardown Armor and Ballistics Simulator). It's 10x better than AVF. Why am I saying this? Because TABS framework will be the main focus of this guide. I will NOT put AVF into this guide.

Please read every mod's description - I'm not always able to put everything important inside my short text. Descriptions contain keybinds, instructions or information about other mods needed for the selected mod to work.

Note: Some widgets might not work. As for now, sections are limited to 10 links linked into widgets - so, after exceeding this limit, the widgets no longer show up. Don't worry - just because you see a link instead of a widget, it doesn't mean it's a virus. Another reason of you seeing a link instead is because sometimes mods happen to be removed or banned.

There are a three mods that are crucial for the gameplay. This section won't be long, don't worry.

This mod is really imporant - it lets you noclip (fly) all over the map.

Maps set in Russia or nearby regions, ranging from peaceful cities to potential conflict zones. Hey, hey, why is there a vehicles mod in the maps section!!!???!? Well, as I said in the introduction section, some mods can be present in a few different sections. This mod not only contains vehicles, but it also has some extremely good maps! When you press on options button in the mod manager, you'll be greeted with a nice selection of maps you can choose from. They are great, give them a try. Maps from this mod are generally all you need. If you want more, however, of course there will be many other choices.

A third version of my favorite map. This, in my opinion, is one of the best maps set in russia.

There is also a winter version of this map!

Contains a lot of vehicles using the ALS framework. From civilian SUVs, police cars to ambulances and fire trucks with expandable ladders. It's a really solid mod and, in my opinion, has most of the vehicles you'd need from a civilian modpack. The mod features an advanced light system and sirens for both normal cars and emergency service cars. It also has a car keys tool which lets you lock the car which turns on a loud alarm when the car is damaged.

In this section I'll include some aerial vehicles - planes and helicopters. They're a lot of fun to mess with and will act as crucial part of your scenarios.

This mod once used to be a few different mods. However, some time ago, the creator decided to make them all into one - featuring 9 different helicopters and 4 different planes, in which 2 are jets - all with realistic damage system. I believe that this mod is the only one you'll EVER need for this purpose - the vehicles are extremely well made. If not, however, I'll include other 2 additional mods. This mod also has a highly customizable vehicles system in which you can add different rockets to your vehicles upon pressing on options.

Naval vehicles, especially the more advanced one are something new to the workshop, nevertheless they are as advanced as they can get and fun to use.

While there may not be many maps that would allow the use of naval vehicles, they are still usable even on small maps with little water.

Note: You need TABS framework and YLVF's framework in order for the vehicles to work.

In this section I'll include some hand-held weapons. Want pew-pews? Read the whole (please) section. It won't be long as well, so it's worth reading every little bit.

TABS... again?? Yeah. Believe me or not, it offers the best weapons you can find in the workshop. Where to find them, you might ask... press on the options button in the mod manager. The weapons are highly customizable - you can change the mags, sights, foregrips, handguards, stocks and barrels. You can also change the munition type on the RPG-7V2. Trust me, THIS MOD IS ALL YOU NEED IN TERMS OF FIREARMS. There are in total 9 firearms and 2 extra tools. The firearms consist of: AS VAL, M4A1, SV-98, AK-74, SCAR-L, SR-3M, AKM, RPG-7 and G17. All of them look really great and have good gunshot sounds. The extra tools are: laser designator, allowing you to call artillery strikes with different types of munitions; drone which allows you to drop different munitions and designate targets. Trust me, it's all you need.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148138736
If the RPG-7 is not enough for you, there's also a Stinger mod, good for shooting down helicopters. It also has 2 different camera modes. It doesn't use the TABS framework, though, so explosions might be unrealistic.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2906054529
Another explosives (this time grenades) pack by gs_115. It's nice, but I haven't been using it for a long time - there are grenades in [TABS] mod itself, however, it's nice to have.

UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle), simply drones, are a big part of your scenarios-making, depending on to what extent are you doing it. They are fun to use and can make some realistic damages to either humans (ragdolls) or vehicles.

Note: You need TABS framework in order for the UAVs to work.

Apart from being a framework (which you'll need for the mods below) and providing you with vehicles and firearms, it also has a drone which can drop grenades or work as a surveillance.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148138736
A fun to use collection of FPV drones which can be devastating to vehicles, especially tanks. Kind of buggy, but makes the job done. You don't need to install the AVF framework for this to work - it's worse. Use the TABS framework instead.

This section might be pretty troublesome... mainly because of the lack of resources we currently have in the workshop. I'll give you a few mods to choose from, however, I'll split it into 2 parts - to ragdolls that work with TABS weapons, and to those that don't. Why don't some of them work with TABS framework? It's because TABS uses different projectiles, thus some of the ragdolls might not react to them appropriately. A really great mod which adds American soldiers and law enforcement ragdolls. Works on Lonardo's framework which is really buggy, but there's nothing better out there as for now. This mod has MANY different variants. Highly recommended.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3114541370
A ragdoll modpack that also works as a framework itself. Currently, the mod is in a "hibernation" state as the creator has some personal life things to sort out. It IS buggy, but it's the only one that works at all. Features many civilian, emergency services and soldier (USA and RU) ragdolls. Also use the 'Gore Mod Life Saving Toolset' linked below to help your injured ragdolls.

An alternative to Lonardo's ragdoll pack. Even more buggy. Don't use unless you have to.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2782336916 As I've said, some of the ragdolls, more specifically the ones using Kooshing's framework do NOT react to TABS projectiles, thus they are really hard to kill. All they react to are some really horrible quality weapons. It's really sad.

There are some gameplay modifiers that can make your experience a lot more pleasant and immersive. I'll split it into 3 parts - environmental (modifying the environment/world), player (modifying player actions) and technical (modifying the technical stuff). A truly amazing mod. I have personally never seen anything like that before. It lets you change the weather completely - from sandstorms, avalanches to locus and firefly swarm.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3261134951
Gives you access to a more advanced weather controller. You can revert back to the original environment, or even turn on the Day-Night cycle with adjustable speed and time.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2633921854 Changes the vanilla footsteps to footsteps from Escape From Tarkov. Gives a lot more immersion as it sounds 5x better.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2978951387
Adds military playermodels from many different countries.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3401098159
Changes the death camera to be slightly more advanced, and possibly even realistic. Your camera will now fall down (and sometimes tumble around) whenever you die.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3017902316 A mod that introduces Shrapnel, Splintering, and High Velocity Fragmentation. It's highly customizable as you can change the size of everything. Adds a lot more realism. It's a must have if you want your explosions to "matter".
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944210947
Broken vehicles can drop their wheels when breakages happen around them.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3339095214
This mod will evaluate shapes around break point, choose some small debris and break them into dusts.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947299159
If you are willing to make your game a lot more laggy, then this mod is for you. In vanilla, the game removes small debris. This mods reverts that.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2996428267

If you want to get even more immersion then read this section. TABS once again - this time with something new. When you press F1, Options Menu appears - it allows you to configure anything related to TABS. There's one interesting option there, however - Toggle Battle Environment. What it does it it, first of all, adds background sounds to the game (bombarding, shooting). Second of all, it keeps sending salvos all around you - each time with different caliber, amount and time. Adds A LOT to the immersion to say the least. Try it! You can also enable Body Camera Overlay option to enable bodycam-like view.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148138736
Yes, youtube (or any sort of place where you can do the same thing). More precisely, videos that will work as background sound that you can run along with the game. This is the link to my playlist consisting of carefully selected videos of ambience with as much realism as possible.
I tried my best to make them in order - from the furthest away from the frontline, to the closest one.
(Choose one and play on loop)
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtyPp9-TN4yb5nkCzYyhV_IyTwBiI6tgX&si=n_7s35CiHam_hYO_ You can also play the game using speakers (preferably with solid bass) as your output - it makes your experience A LOT better

There are also some technical mods worth noting that will help you not to make a mess out of your map or even your PC.

This mod allows you to clear all fires on the map with one click. It's really useful, especially after shellings. Fire happens to cause A LOT of performance drops.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2622068966
Very useful for cleaning up unneeded junk such as small voxels or even vehicles. Press R so that you won't make everything come right to you. You can also spit out all the junk you've gathered. I couldn't decide whether I should put it into technical, necessary or miscellaneous mods.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2625710852&searchtext=vaccum+cleaner
In case if your debug console gets filled with debug messages, this mod will remove it right away. Why is it useful? Because there's no way to remove such messages out of your screen once they pop up... unless you have this mod.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879112560
It's REALLY useful, especially if you have a lot of mods. It gives you more rotation options, adding mods to favorites and a lot more. Also, in the future there are plans for grouping categories. It can cause some weird bugs to happen, but I'd recommend to use this over the vanilla spawner.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2756779661
Hides your character in unsupported vehicles. Useful for screenshotting.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3349075962

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3494717963

Some tools that MIGHT come in handy, but aren't crucial for the overall gameplay.

Gives you an RC tool which you can use for controlling tanks and other vehicles. Good but tricky to use. The sad part is that you can't, for example, shoot turrets while using it.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2417823738
A mod which lets you draw a path for vehicles to follow. Useful for moving targets and adding immersion to the game (for example by adding patrolling vehicles such as tanks).

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2770858467
A nice box of remote explosives which can stick to surfaces and are activated by a "piston". It also comes in a nice box. Good for scenarios such as hidden munition storages.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947228611
One of the oldest mods on this list. Used to be a lot of fun when it first came out but there's other good alternatives for remote control explosives. It lets you customize the size of explosion and other important things.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2415643616&searchtext=c4
I believe it was the first mod that introduced salvos. It WAS good, but [TABS] mod itself has a laser pointer which lets you do basically the same thing with better explosions. This mod is quite old as well. There's also another mod which also shows aircraft models flying by upon dropping the explosives but it is buggy as hell, thus I won't include it here. Worth mentioning though.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494170635
A tool that allows you to make a pre-simulated voxel-based explosion effect.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3490275616

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2774370317

Thank you for reading this guide! I hope it was helpful, at least to some extent. I did it in one go which took me about 7 hours to make and yet it's still not fully completed (UPDATE: as the guide gets somewhat regularly updated, it actually took me a lot more time in total).

Any comments are welcome, I'm happy to answer any questions, so feel free to ask if you're unsure about something!

Have you found a mistake or typo? Let me know about it!

It would be nice if you shared this guide with your buddies, but it's up to you. Thanks for reading, again!

This section is for storage and information purposes as I like everything to be organized but can be useful for users that want to use this guide long-term or for users that want to see how much new content this guide is getting.
DD/MM/YYYY

Notes: And just like that, the summer break is over, at least in my country. This is probably the final update to this guide as it got taken off the main page, thus wont get any views and no more people will get to see this guide, however, if I notice the number of views go up anyways, I'll most likely get back to updating this guide again (or if during my absence there will be a lot of great new mods). If this never happens, though, I'll just finish this guide by adding the gallery section because I like things to be finished before 'abandoning' them. This update is not quite as big but still solid. It was a really fun ride, thanks guys for all the support!

• Seen some Russian guy steal most of my work (vehicles) and put it into his guide, being almost the same in terms of the focus... not fun. I hope my guide survives that.

Notes: Finally, a major update after quite some time. I managed to push myself to update this guide as there were many new mods WORTH putting here, I hope yall will enjoy it!

• Created a whole new section - [3.3] GROUND VEHICLES: MISCELLANEOUS FORCES (name up to change, hopefully) - it's purpose will be for vehicles that are not really related to any country official military forces, but rather for organizations, terrorist groups etc. I hope this will make a big use in the future;
  
• Moved SVBIED / Car Bomb to section [3.3];
  
• Added Renault VAB and Panhard VBL (both UN forces) to the new section [3.3];
  
• Added Kharkiv Ring Road and Pripyat to section [2.1];
  
• Added US Southern Countryside [Endless] to section [2.4];
  
• Added Unnamed Vehicle Pack Remastered to section [3.2];
  
• Added Volcano mine system to section [7];
  
• Added HEADCRABS small war pack, KamAZ-435029 "Patrul", BTR-82A/70 and Bumerang-M to section [3.1];
  
• Added [Okidoki] Tank Accessory pack to section [10];
  
• Added [CHW]Dynamic Planes(D.A.M) to section [4];
  
• Added [CHW]IJN Akizuki Destroyer to section [5];
  
• Added Modern Military Playermodels to section [11];
  
• Added MQ-9 Reaper (D.A.M) to section [8]
  
• Fixed some link strings that were too long (included searchtext strings);
  
• Reworded some sections for more clarity;
  
• Removed Aircraft spawner from section [4] as it didn't fit the guide's theme and was outdated;
  
• Slowly, but still capturing more and more screenshots for the gallery section which will be completed one day. It takes a lot longer than expected as all of my screenshots got wiped after formatting my pc.

Notes: -

• Added the missing link to "Remote Control" in section [14];

Notes: I came up with the idea to rework the guide a little bit when answering a comment.

• Entirely reworked section [12] by a lot. Reworded some sentences and added TABS mod as for "Battle Environment" option;
  
• Added a missing link to "Special Landing Support Ship" in section [5];
  
• Removed links to winter variations of "Sverlovsk Town 2", "Volkograd town 2" and "Russian town 3" maps so that three more widgets of maps below can show up; in section [2.1];

Notes: I came back as I promise. Another idea of mine was to add an update log so people can see how much (if at all) I update this guide. I'll try to do so as much as it's needed. As I can see, the guide is getting more attention every day, thank you!!

• Added [Update-log] section;
  
• I plan to update this guide monthly (because that's the usual time for new good mods to come out) and add a "This month's choice" section which will include either the best mod of this month or for every section. If someone's reading this, what do you think about this idea?
  
• Getting ready to rework section [1] and [14]. Also, in the future, to add more ground vehicles and finish the gallery section;
  
• Finished section [14] and reworked secton [1];
  
• Fixed the big gap in section [2.1], [2.2], [4], [5] and [12];

This section is for storage and information purposes as I like everything to be organized but can be useful for users that want to use this guide long-term or for users that want to see how much new content this guide is getting.
DD/MM/YYYY

Notes: -

• Reorganized the [14] section by sorting the entries, putting the ones that are the most related to the guide on top.
  
• Added Autopilot Paint to section [14] (@T0NAIL's suggestion)

Notes: Today's update focused on reorganizing the MAPS categories, adding new vehicles, and including some new content to enhance the guide. I must keep this guide alive even for the last people using it. Enjoy!

• Reorganized the MAPS categories for clarity:
  - [2.1] MAPS: Eastern Front (changed the name from "Central and Eastern")
  - [2.2] MAPS: Middle East
  - [2.3] MAPS: Western Front (changed the name from "Western Europe and America"
  - [2.4] MAPS: Rural Terrain (changed the name from "Fields")
  - [2.5] MAPS: War-Torn
  - [2.6] MAPS: Post-Apocalyptic
  - [2.7] MAPS: Routes and Bridges (Changed the name from "Routes and Structures)
  - [2.8] MAPS: Structures (Added)
  
• Added new descriptions for each MAPS category for clarity.
  
• Added new category [2.8] MAPS: Structures, focused on maps with buildings alone (e.g., hospitals, schools, factories).
  
• Added Novator MRAP to 3.5
  
• Added T-84BM OPLOT to 3.1
  
• Added the following vehicles to 3.8:
  - Regvin’s Soviet Cars Pack
  - Russian Special Services - 112
  - Polish Fire Service
  
• Added Roshia map to 2.7
  
• Added Vida Hospital map to 2.8
  
• Moved "Harbor" map from 2.3 to 2.7
  
• Moved Realistic Russian School and Oasis mall from 2.1 to 2.7

Notes: Believe me or not, I've hit the characters limit (8000) in the previous update-log section, thus I had to make another one. I'm back, after a long time. I promised I would be updating this guide, at least to some extent. It's like a baby to me and I can't just abandon it. Perhaps nobody at all is reading it, but well, I'll just leave it here. This guide, other than helping new players to choose military mods to their liking, also serves, at least for me, as a handbook. The spawn menu (even the redesigned one) is too clunky to choose the right vehicles to spawn. Yes, after some time you remember where everything is, but using such guide is still easier. ANYWAYS...

Notes: This update was extremely hard to put-together. Trust me when I say this - it took a lot of work - 4 days of switching between subscribed mods, my guide, notes app, wikipedia, sweating about the setting of every mod and a lot more of miserable work. Well, it's all on me because of how long I was avoiding doing this update and the amount of mods multiplying. But I hope it was worth it! This update brings a lot of really well-made mods. Better than ever! Extremely high quality. Enjoy, don't let this guide die! ADDED:
