How To Change The Game Type On Your SWAT 4 Server

Your SWAT 4 server can run CO-OP missions or one of the versus game types where SWAT officers face a team of suspects.

Changing The Game Type

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Gameplay, change Game Type to the mode you want.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

CO-OP plays the SP- maps and the versus game types play the MP- maps, so update your map rotation when you switch. If you leave Maps blank, the server picks matching maps for you.

Note

If you pick Smash and Grab on a server that runs SWAT 4, it starts CO-OP instead and says so in the Console. Switch to The Stetchkov Syndicate to play it.
