The '''SWAT''' is the close to mid range enforcer of the team that rapidly responding to enemy appearance by unleashing on them a devastating vortex of bullets.
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.

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.
  • Passive (Weapon switch): Bonus decreases time that it takes to equip and putdown the weapon by up to 25% making weapon swaps x1.33 faster at level 25. Bonus works with all weapons.
  • Skill (Assault Armor, Heavy Armor Training): The amount of armor given from both skills stack. Heavy Armor Training prevents the player from being grabbed by Clots even when they are not wearing armor. Additionally the Heavy Armor Training skill prevents the SWAT from taking health damage (100% absorption rate) and decreases all incoming damage by 35% (x0.65 multiplier) as long as the player has some armor left.
  • Skill (Close Combat Training): Extra damage affect all knives and 9mm Pistol(s). Extra damage example: 9mm Pistol (25 points of damage) with Close Combat Training skill does Roundup (25 + 25x0.5) = 38 points of damage. Unlike Commando's counterpart, this skill DOES NOT work along the passive damage bonus when it comes to calculation of knife damage. It is either bonus from passive (without this skill) OR bonus from the skill itself. Unlike Commando's counterpart, this skill DOES increase damage of the Flashbang grenade when it thrown while holding either 9mm(s) or Knife.
  • 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).

On-perk Weapons

Following weapons and damage types are associated with the SWAT. They are getting damage bonuses and buffs to their attributes from the respective skills:

FlashBangGrenade

Knife_SWAT

SMG_Kriss

SMG_Mac10

SMG_Medic

SMG_MP5RAS

SMG_MP7

SMG_P90


Ballistic_Kriss

Ballistic_MP5RAS

Ballistic_MP7

Ballistic_P90

Ballistic_SMG_Medic

Explosive_FlashBangGrenade

Fire_Mac10 (child of Ballistic_Shotgun)

Piercing_KnifeStab_SWAT

Slashing_Knife_SWAT

Slashing_KnifeHeavy_SWAT

Strategy

Just like your "AR-twisted brother", you are among the first who meets the ZED hordes. Your weapons fire quickly but deal rather low damage per bullet, so aim for the head!

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

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

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

Trivia

  • According to the character's favourite weapon lines, DJ Scully, Classic Briar, Rae Higgins and Anton Strasser are SWATs of the team.
