Additional Information in the description box :) (Loadout, Thoughts & Tips) Let me know if you'd like me to add extra information for these

[@MoonR1d3r]

How many times are you doing one level? All the times it looks clean perfect, but I wonder how many times you fail. Maybe do a quick montage at the end of the video of each time when you failed.

[@the_takibo]

@@MoonR1d3r For most, hours worth of retries. The fastest maps for me have been ; kawayu beach (2-3 tries), twisted nerve (2nd try), Gas Station (2nd try), Rusted belt (2nd try), Elephant (1 hour ~, multiple tries) For longest have been; Valley of the dolls - 3 hours ~ Mindjot center - 3-4 hours ~ Brisa cove - 5 hours ~ Postal office - 7-8 hours ~ The problem with the quick montage concept is i get rid of failed attempt recordings as my drive has been filling up fairly quickly :/ but honestly i did think of compiling all my rage moments of fails after all the maps, there have been dozens and dozens, but again, having deleted all the failed content thats a no go 😭

ikr, always thought its only for doors, and i dreaded having them

[@Deimos001]

The optic wand is meant to be a multi purpose peeking tool,used to have one irl, they're great for airsoft.

[@abelsumanas]

SWAT4 actually taught us to use it for corners too, they even have the designated command for the AI teammates. Helped much when clearing Mindjot Data Center.

[@WiseArkAngel]

That actually helped me S rank "A Lethal Obsession." Far too many corners/Traps in that house. Never try Lethal Obsession without one. You could also try a breaching shotgun, but that's far less versatile, and doesn't really provide any intel on scene, but it allows you to safely trigger traps from a distance.

Engaging those 4 guys near the pool area was pure luck. In any of my plays they would have killed me on their first shot but you only got knicked in the arm like once there.

[@the_takibo]

100% Thats by far the most dangerous part of the map 1 or 2 of those guys it was understandable that i didnt die, but the guy who shot me as i panic sprinted back to the stairs was super lucky

[@kruppelfield]

You got aswell lucky that they didn't shoot each other by accident, because of ricochet and whatnot you might end up restarting to achieve S...

[@cmdrlt.evildead5328]

That 4 man team bit was epic. Well done

When I manage to get them to drop their gun, they pull out their sidearm in about 3 seconds. Voll's Security is ruthless...

For me the rest of the security guards came down into the basement one at a time after I cleared it. Basically we set up a firing line.

Poor Ivan got dragged into the crime scene. He only wanted to feed his family backhome

[@ryuhanja3415]

I personally HATE how they changed getting S rank, you used to be able to get it if suspects refused to surrender and tried to raise their gun to you or shoot. Now you have to arrest everyone and in certain missions where it feels like every second guy has a 5.56 or above that can shoot through walls it becomes extremely oppressive

[@PETRAS_]

agree 100%, now it is almost impossible. They shoot through walls and if you show 1 pixel of your hitbox, you are dead. Impossible to prefire corner and peek.

[@sl4shi]

I want a 100 pages essay from delevopers how am I supposed to do S rank on Hide n Seek and any other map with long ranges and suspcets who will still shot you after flashbang, taser and gas

[@fracturedrna9954]

I understand the frustration but if it helps equip a shield for ai for each team, run 2 mags of primary pepper ball AR, 10 CS gas grenades, 1 taser, and stinger m320. As you clear rooms the ai teammates will take out shield and distract and tank the suppression and you can just pepper them or my favorite stinger them. Edit: the game right now forces you to play tactically and think 2 steps ahead, knowing the layout of each map can be key to success.

[@dejangegic]

it's S for a reason. it's supposed to be difficult

[@frostvg1535]

@@dejangegicyeah but it’s just dumb and seems like a meta thing for a swat sim game. Realistically no one would bring a pepperball gun to a place with 20+ armed suspects. It was better when it was okay to kill if they didn’t surrender because you could use more diverse tactics and loadouts plus it was more realistic.

[@tenfold3747]

bro... i dread even having to do this map without a S score ;-; you are a legend.

[@TechnicallyJustin]

Same here. So hard lol

[@metalsnake27]

Tough mission to S rank, very nicely done.

Esp with the extra fps drops.

[@BenjiFrank]

@ right? Idk what’s good with that. It seems as though specifically on this map, every time I engage in a gunfight my frames drop horribly. It’s always right when I make contact too. Terrible timing. Glad I got this one out of the way. Now I can have fun and slaughter amos and stuff again😂

[@williamwhitebirch9191]

@@BenjiFrank So apparently a solution to this is opening the game via the explorer instead of the launcher itself, like Steam for example. Just right click the game and press "show in files" then navigate to the .exe file and run the game like that. Haven't really had any major fps drops since doing that.

[@Dylan-bd9zj]

Man your expert earned subscribers Nice thing you did 1. Shooting on enemy feet to avoid killing as much as possible 2. When you got an enemy you asked them to come forward you to avoid being hit by others Nice work man keep uploading

[@sleepyboy__]

think he shot at the feet since its also a pepper ball gun so it would probably affect them eitherway

[@the_takibo]

thank you very much :D

[@ilkerpolat-t3v]

this game turned into a "dont rage until you get good rng where they broke and dont shoot you" lol

[@the_takibo]

pretty much comes down to accepting the fact you'll die multiple times, and start mapping out the ideal pathing to take to minimize risky situations, in the case of nonlethal, that being glasses / stuff you can shoot through the fact this game doesnt have a retry button adds to the rage so much though lol

It really shows how off the AI are though. Literally every single dude decided to stand up and try their chances twice. It should be some of them not literally every single suspect.

[@seansmith8222]

@@Druark think about it though. If I was one of those guys in that situation, I would do the same. It was a 1v4, those odds seem good. Maybe the AI is realistic

[@Druark]

@@seansmith8222 You might but most people wouldn't stand up to shoot a guy they've already surrendered too especially when they've just seen 3 previous guys try it and fail horribly. As I said, someone should do it but not all of them.

[@user-ot8wl7oh9s]

@@Druark I meannn if I was in that situation with 3 of my buds and this one single guy somehow manages to incapacitate me and everybody would definitely try taking the chance to make them have a false sense of security and jumped at them in the right time. At least if you complain about it the enemies have only have one sidearm indicates they actually are now surrendering and it isn't artificial difficulty making them do that more than once.

[@Druark]

@@user-ot8wl7oh9s Except it doesn't work that way. I've played plenty of the missions in this game where guys in hoodies pull out a pistol after surrendering, then a revolver and then a knife. How many times do you have to shoot a guy before they realise it isn't going to work? It isn't realistic or fun, it's just ridiculous. The state of the forum right now shows that most people agree.

Never thought of just.. shooting next to the dudes with the pepperball. Nice trick, gonna have to steal that one.

[@ynsss3128]

After 4 consecutive days I finally achieved the S ranking. It is very complicated if you do it alone. My advice is that if you don't achieve it, you have to take the BEAN BAG shotgun to be able to neutralize the enemies with a single shot. 2 maximum when you arrest 6 or 7 suspects call the red or blue team to help you clean the pool area so you can go down to the bottom. This video really helps a lot, thank you.

[@ymmatinthehat]

Got to the basement on my first try after watching, last suspect killed me.

[@A.E.B.0]

Here's a tip: if you tell suspects to turn around before telling them to crawl towards you, they'll be less likely to gun for their gun.

[@notorangemarm2454]

When I use pepperballs, its common for the enemies to ignore commands and shoot for a short period. Your suspects stop moving and give up instantly! I don't get it!

I've finally finish this map with S rank. I spent whole weekend and about a hundred attempts. Your walkthrough is very rapid brave and suicidal. After tens rush attempts i became a real hunter with mirror gun waiting for minutes when a suspect turns away. Avoiding fire contact is crucial on this level, because it's too big. Plus my heavy armored bot teammates helped me soaking bullets in the basement. P.s I tried to bring all tied guards to the pool zone to take an amazing screenshot, but LOL suddenly other police guys appeared and started to carry my prey outside

[@Virtualsinner]

The pool area shows a fatal flaw in the ranking system of this game. Maybe instead of making it absolutely necessary to not kill anyone, keeping a gun man alive can safe you points if you lose some for other reasons. You had 4 enemies at once and had to follow these rules: -Always and only shoot the legs or arms -Do it twice because they pull out another gun -Keep an eye on anyone in the room times 4.

[@CallMeMang]

To my knowledge, you’ve never needed to avoid shooting them wherever you want with the pepper-ball gun. Sometimes he shot the ground to avoid accidental unauthorized force and/or to get an AOE effect on a target whenever he didn’t have a clear shot on them.

[@Seasicks13]

Great run. Took me and my buddy dozens and dozens of tries to S Rank as a duo. I do have a question for you though; why do you peek doors and then use your body to open them as you go through? Does it make it completely silent for enemy AI? I try not to do that as it makes your weapon unusable if you are too close to the door, but it seemed like it was working for you.

[@Nanashi-sz6wc]

Cant confirm 100%, but it seems that way. Maybe its only effective when the suspects aren't already looking at the door, though? Idk

[@zyncra3965]

I do it this way too, it seems to confuse the AI. I rarely get insta-domed that way

[@ptimax43]

AI will hear you open a door but won't hear you peeking and opening it with your shoulder. Reduces the risk of getting domed by cracked AI by a lot

[@ErsteKlasse]

I'm actually really curious if you planned for your SWAT teammates abilities as well. As far as I'm aware, there are some abilities that sound like they would aid in a non-lethal run, like "Pacifier" and "Intimidator". However, with how janky some of the 1.0 features are, I'm not so sure how effective or even relevant the SWAT AI is in doing this style of Solo 'S' runs.
