The Cable is a multipurpose tool and falls under the utility category. The cable allows the user to place down ropes to connect objects. Cables are the third placeable tool in Teardown. It is unlocked when the player is level 50.
Description[]
The cable is a small yellow rectangular prism. Unlike planks, they do not have a hitbox meaning that you can walk through them. They can be broken by shooting them with a single bullet. They can create suspension, and can replace Planks in some situations. Cables are essential in tasks like moving multiple Safes from a single Crane or attaching heavy items to vehicles which often helps in later levels.
When placing the second side of a Cable, the transparent preview of the Cable will turn more red as it reaches it's maximum length. The closer the Cable is to it's maximum distance, the more taught it will be, pulling stronger on objects. This can apply a surprising amount of force on movable objects.
