“Handle With Care” is a deceptively simple mission in Teardown, with one major obstacle: robots. The actual objective—moving containers to the escape boat—is quite easy. However, attempting to do this while avoiding hostile robots is almost impossible. This guide focuses on safely neutralizing all threats and simplifying your job.
Step 1: Identify the Threats
The robots are your main concern. If any of them shoot a container you’re carrying, it’ll likely explode and end your run. There are several robots around the map, but you can dispatch them safely by luring or forcing them into areas where they can be destroyed or removed.
Step 2: Use Strategic Trap Locations
There are two key locations where you can easily dispose of the robots:
- Trap Point 1 (Main building drop-off): Near a walkway above a ledge. Lure robots here and blast them down into the void. Be cautious with your approach and avoid close-range explosives.
- Trap Point 2 (Side ledge dump): Found near the lower edges of the map, ideal for shooting or knocking robots off with ease. Remember to use your pistol for knockback when needed—it’s safer and faster than the shotgun.
Take out one robot at a time to reduce your risk. Their damage adds up fast, and they can easily kill you if cornered.
Step 3: Eliminate All Robots
Work your way through the map methodically:
- Start at the main upper walkway and clear any robots.
- Move to the side trap location, bait and dispatch another one.
- Check inside buildings for any remaining threats.
- If a robot ends up in an unintended area (like inside walls), adapt your strategy and lure it to the closest viable trap point.
Be sure to put out any fires along the way. Fires aren’t a major threat here, but they could spread to a container or cause unwanted destruction.
Step 4: Confirm a Clear Map
Do a quick run across the level and double-check for any leftover robots. There might be one more near the back or in one of the warehouses. If found, repeat your lure-and-drop tactic.
Step 5: Move the Containers
Once the map is safe, the rest of the mission is trivial:
- Drag each of the containers back to the escape boat.
- You can safely jump off most ledges with a container in hand. Just be aware of the “wobble” effect from landing—objects can still slam into the floor if you’re not careful.
Bonus Tips
- Avoid damaging staircases or floors while fighting robots. You’ll need those for clean navigation later.
- Always keep an eye on container integrity. Even a slight explosion nearby can trigger a fail.
- Use quicksaves liberally if you’re trying for a clean, no-damage run.
Conclusion
“Handle With Care” becomes simple once all the robots are gone. While sneaking around them is possible, it’s far safer (and more satisfying) to take them out early. With that done, you’re free to focus on precision movement and container hauling.
Mission complete!
