Mission Results: The best score achieved for each difficulty is displayed under Mission Results. You can choose to start the mission immediately if you would like. But it is recommended that you listen to your Commander’s briefing first, as there may be mission-critical information that could affect your squad’s objective, deployment and equipment. BRIEFING In the briefing, you’ll receive the latest updates on the crisis at hand.
You can change the primary and secondary weapons as well as the tactical and breaching equipment each officer is carrying. To do this, click the arrows underneath each item. This will allow you to scroll through the list of available items. CHOOSING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB It’s your duty to give your squad the tactical advantage through the proper selection of equipment.
Suppressed 9mm SMG This 9mm submachine gun is designed by a world-renowned German manufacturer. It is preferred by many paramilitary groups throughout the world for urban tactical engagements. This versatile SMG can fire either full metal jacket or jacketed hollow point 9mm pistol ammunition, but it lacks the stopping power of the Colt Carbine. Its key advantage is its compact design, which allows superior maneuverability in indoor situations.
Nova Pump A relatively new design from Benelli, the Nova pump is the top of the line in pump-action shotguns. Although it fires a bit slower than the semiautomatic M4 Super 90, its attached magazine extender allows the Nova pump to hold up to 8 shells at one time. M4 Super 90 The Benelli M4 Super 90 tactical shotgun is a highly reliable 12-gauge shotgun that has proven itself time and again in the field. This model features an auto loader, allowing for semiautomatic firing of its five-round magazine.
SECONDARY WEAPONS M1911 Handgun The Colt M1911 handgun has been a mainstay in law enforcement for decades. This .45 caliber weapon packs a powerful punch and is the most common backup weapon for SWAT officers. This semiautomatic weapon has an 8-round magazine and can fire both full metal jacket and jacketed hollow point ammunition. Colt Python Revolver The Colt Python is among the most famous of Colt revolvers and was introduced in 1955. It is chambered for the powerful .
Pepper Spray While generally used for riot control, handheld pepper spray canisters can be an effective tool for subduing uncooperative targets. The active ingredient in pepper spray is Oleoresin Capsicum or OC. OC is an inflammatory agent that causes the eyes to swell up and close. It also causes a burning sensation on any exposed skin. Due to its limited range and area of effect, it is best used in addition to other non-lethal devices to cause a suspect or hostage to comply.
Door Wedge This specially-designed tactical wedge is slid under the door and then activated. The spring-loaded action flips up wedges, preventing the door from opening in either direction. The rubber coating along the bottom of the wedge increases friction, making it extremely difficult to push open with brute force. It can only be removed with a special SWAT tool kit, reducing the risk of a suspect dislodging the device.
C2 Explosives The C2 breaching charge is a powerful and devastating method of breaching a door. The compact, and speciallydesigned charge destroys the locking mechanism of the door and forcefully opens the door at the same time. The noise and shock of the detonation causes people on the opposite side of the door to react in a similar manner to a flashbang detonation, which can provide a tactical advantage for using C2 instead of the breaching shotgun.

GAME CONTROLS CLASSIC COMMAND INTERFACE Based on SWAT 3 controls, this interface uses hot keys to issue commands. Because all of the commands are issued using the number keys in this mode, weapon and item selection is moved to the function keys. All command prompts are shown in a small window at the top left of the screen. GRAPHIC COMMAND INTERFACE Issuing commands is very simple in SWAT 4. Simply use the right mouse button to bring up the command interface and select the desired action.
PLAYING THE GAME COMMANDING YOUR TEAM You are in charge of your squad, or element, in SWAT 4. A team will consist of the player and a 4-man element made up of two teams of two, the Red Team and the Blue Team. You can direct your commands to Red Team, Blue Team or the full element by pressing the Tab key to cycle through each group. The color of the GCI will change to the corresponding color. TEAM VIEWPORTS Members of your SWAT team are outfitted with a helmet-mounted camera.
QUICK COMMAND SWAT 4 uses context-sensitive commands that can be executed by pressing the spacebar. The Quick Command is displayed in the lower-right portion of the screen. The color of the square to the left of the text indicates whether the command will go to Red Team, Blue Team or your entire element. As with the GCI, pressing Tab will cycle through your available team options.
Restrain Secure Evidence Remove Wedge Remove C2 Mirror Corner Disable Exit Mission Orders your selected squad to restrain a suspect or hostage. Orders your selected squad to secure evidence such as a weapon. Orders your selected squad to remove a Door Wedge from a door. Orders your selected squad to remove a C2 explosive charge before it is detonated. Orders your selected squad to deploy the Optiwand and scan around a corner for suspects. Orders your selected squad to disable an explosive device.
PLAYING SWAT 4 It’s important to remember to follow SWAT procedure when on a mission. While SWAT 4 allows you to achieve the mission objectives using lethal force, some missions require that hostages and suspects not be hurt. Following SWAT procedures can help to ensure that innocent lives are not jeopardized while enforcing the law. SWAT is a life-saving organization.
SECURING EVIDENCE During a mission, neutralized and compliant suspects will drop their weapons on the ground. These weapons can be secured by walking up to them, targeting them and pressing the Use key (Default Key: Middle Mouse Button). You can also order your team members to secure weapons for you. There may also be objective items or weapons in a mission that need to be secured before the objective can be completed.
You can also toggle viewports for each of your AI team members. Each officer has a helmet camera through which you see from their point of view. You can toggle through the helmet cams of the officers on both Red Team (Default Key: INSERT) and Blue Team (Default Key: HOME). When controlling your officers through their viewports, you can give commands remotely and employ more complex multi-team tactics (such as seizing control of a room that has multiple entrances).
• Officers ordered to STACK UP against a door will also automatically check the lock and report whether or not the door is open. • Grenades are best used for clearing rooms before entering. Make sure to select the best grenade for the situation. • Most primary and secondary weapons are equipped with a flashlight. Use these to illuminate dark areas that are difficult to see.
