🚨 Officers,
SWAT Commander receives a new regular update, bringing its current version to 0.7.8.4. The update comes with a discount, giving you the temporary chance to snag our game for a bargain!
This time, in an effort to reinforce our officers' tactical repertoire, we're introducing a new command that should make building entries easier by allowing you to issue a command to throw grenades through first-floor windows. This is configured for all of our current and future missions.
Remember to adjust your choice of grenade to how quickly you can make an entry and that tossing grenades through windows outside of commands is a viable approach in co-op and for yourself as the squad commander in single player, too.
Our other changes in this patch tweak gameplay to make some tool use faster, give you the option to switch firing modes on handguns while using the Ballistic Shield, and let you adjust sights in headcam mode.
Patch notes below.

SWAT Commander EA v.0.7.8.4 Patch Notes:
AI
Added a new command allowing officers to throw grenades through first-floor windows during assault operations.
GAMEPLAY
Reduced lock-picking time for player's multitool by 50%.
Updated the door ramming system: while hit location still matters, striking the door near the lock area with a battering ram now breaks doors much faster.
EQUIPMENT
Added the ability to switch pistol firing modes while using a shield, for pistols that support multiple firing modes.
UI
Added new virtual sight settings for Headcam mode, allowing the interaction sight and shooting sight to be toggled independently.
We're taking note of further suggestions you've been making about available commands as well as feedback related to other areas of the game, so as always, we appreciate them and we'll see what can be done about incorporating them into our update. More on those, including new missions, coming soon.
Over and out,
SWAT Commander Team
