How to change difficulty the Teardown campaign mode

While Teardown does not have an easy mode, it does come with several optional “cheats” that you can enable to make the campaign easier or harder. You can check out this Seeking Tech guide to see how you can turn on these options.

1. To start off, you should head over to the Options menu from either the main menu or pause menu in Teardown.

2. In Options, switch over to viewing the Game tab.

Use the L1 and R1 buttons to change tabs on a controller with PlayStation buttons or LB and RB on a controller with Xbox buttons.

3. You should see the Campaign section located at the top of the Game tab.

4. The first of these settings in Adjust Alarm Time, which adjusts the length of time before the helicopter shows up. You can adjust it to any of the following options:

  • Disabled
  • +15 seconds
  • +30 seconds
  • +60 seconds
  • -20 seconds (harder)

5. Next up is the Adjust Ammo setting, which adjusts the amount the ammo available at the start of the level. You should see the following options:

  • Disabled
  • +50%
  • +100%
  • No ammo (harder)

6. One last adjustable setting is the Adjust Health setting, which adjusts the maximum health of your character. You have the following options:

  • Disabled
  • +50%
  • +100%
  • -50%

7. Once you are done with the adjusting difficulty options, you can exit the Options menu and go back to playing the game.
