The SWAT perk is the close range combatant who hoses down Zeds with submachinegun fire, hacking through them with a storm of lead and steel. Using a variety of submachine-guns, the SWAT perk has the highest rate of fire of any perk; while each individual bullet may not inflict much damage, they can rarely fire just one bullet. The SWAT perk belongs in the thick of combat and can mow down less powerful Zeds like a scythe through wheat.

General Information

SWAT is a well-rounded ZED killing machine specializing on sub-machine gun usage. A bullet hose nature of the SWAT weapons leaves ZEDs no chance to stand the ground long enough. On top of that SWAT's arsenal offering a FlashBang grenade, a one of the most effecient ways to stun ZEDs.

SWAT skill choices let them focus on either improving their crowd control abilites as well as their own "tankiness" by adding buffs to the armor, stumble power and the sidearms or on enhancing their weaponry by giving it more ammo, stopping power and better handing.

Actual Stats

Perk Notes

• Damage modification (passive): Passive damage bonus affecting damage of all on-perk weapons (including Knife) or on-perk damage types. Damage ROUNDED.
• Passive (Bullet resistance): Player takes up to 30% less damage from all weapons that use "Ballistic" damage type. Damage to take is ROUNDED.
• Skill (Assault Armor, Heavy Armor Training): Amount of the armor given from both skill stack. Heavy Armor Training skill prevents players from being grabbed by Clots even when players does not wear armor at all. Additionally Heavy Armor Training skill prevents players from taking health damage (100% absorption rate) and decreases all incoming damage by 35% (x0.65 multiplier) as long as players will have some armor left.
• Skill (Close Combat Training): Extra damage affecting all knives and 9mm Pistol(s). Extra damage example: 9mm Pistol (15 points of damage) with Close Combat Training skill does Roundup (15 + 15x1.1) = 32 points of damage.
• Skill (Cripple): Skill works only with on-perk damage types.
• Skill (Rapid Assault, Suppression Rounds): Due to calculation specifics both skills give total stumble power multiplier of 4. Suppression Rounds skill works only with on-perk weapons, while the Rapid Assault skill works with all weapons (even off-perk). Resistance to slow-mo also works with the 9mm Pistol(s).

Strategy

As your "AR-twisted brother", you are among the firsts who mets the ZED hordes. Use the advantage of the fast firing weapons but don't forget that each bullet has rather low damage, so aim for the head!

Conserve your ammo: your ammunition is quite expensive, at early ways use the advantage of Close Combat Training skill to one-shot-kill small ZEDs and save yourself some SMG ammo. Don't forget that your weapons has also a single/burst firing mode which will help you too.

While you might want to improve your teamplay by having healing-capable HMTech-201 SMG in the inventory, don't forget that this is the only SMG as actually cannot kill any basic ZED by the single headshot.

Combine the stun effect of the FlashBang grenade with the Kriss' high ROF for safe Scrake / Fleshpound takedowns.
