Dont be mad!


While I am not the best SWAT player in the world, I'm still pretty damn good. Even if you follow all of my tips to completion, there is a strong likelihood that you will never beat certain players, however what I can offer you are ways to get better than you may not have considered before.
First tip
Play with controller.

















As with most people on MCC, the controller players far outnumber the keyboard players, and are usually much better. It's not impossible that a keyboard warrior will win SOMETIMES against a swarm of controller chads, but highly unlikely.

Second tip
The more of your team that quits, the better.


















If you find yourself in a 4v4 SWAT game, with your teammates ragequitting left and right, it's always more effective to stay in the game. However, this may not always be the case for other gamemodes, such as Capture the Flag; with quitting teammates, that means that there's less people to guard the flag and therefore is a terrible event to occur! Although with SWAT, playing with less teammates is usually the best-case scenario, as the enemy team will typically spend more time trying to find where you are, and you will have a lot more chances to kill them than they will have attempting to kill you.
Trying to get your teammates to quit is a pretty viable option, how you go about doing that, will not be included in this guide.
Third tip
Aim for the Head.

















There's no faster way to kill someone from a distance in SWAT, than a headshot.

The only thing wrong here is advising controller. In EVERY game mode EXCEPT SWAT, the controller absolutely stomps on keyboard. But in SWAT? Well, KBM finally has an advantage. Not so much anywhere else, though.

Nah controller is not really effective for SWAT as it is in Team slayer.
Controller is way better at landing more consistent hits, in SWAT you want to be the first to aim for someones head + faster movement.

Learning to flick with a mouse will get you a K/D of 2+ every game easy. I love playing against controller players in SWAT because they can't abuse their aim assist tracking in every fight.
