BODYCAM: SWAT Simulator puts you in the boots of a SWAT officer, completing missions with a squad across different locations. This guide covers the controls, how to work with your team, what to do when you get stuck, and how XP milestones reward your progress.
In shortSticking together and using your flashlight and laser properly is what gets a squad through early missions.
Missions ask you and your team to move to objectives, deal with suspects, and return to the lobby when the job is done. Work through these steps on your first run.
Turn on your flashlightdark areas are common, so hit V or Square as soon as visibility drops.
Use your laserswitching it on with Z or Triangle helps you aim accurately.
Lean around cornerspress Q or E to peek left or right instead of stepping fully into the open.
Watch your ammotap M to check how many rounds you have left.
Return to the lobbyonce the mission is marked complete, head back for your debrief.
In shortThis is a co-op game, and the squad that communicates and stays together consistently outperforms one that splits up.
Every mission is designed for a team. Going solo into a room or ignoring your teammates turns a winnable situation into a wipe.
Tips worth knowing
Stay close to your teammates rather than pushing ahead on your own.
Communicate through voice or chat so your squad knows where you are and what you see.

What to do when a mission keeps defeating you
Check
In shortMost failed runs come down to one of three things: controls, equipment, or team coordination — check each one before trying again.
If you are stuck on a mission, go through this list before attempting it again.
Are you using your flashlight in dark sections, or are you moving blind?
Is your laser on when you need to aim quickly and accurately?
Are you leaning rather than fully stepping into enemy fire?
Are you checking your magazine before entering a new room?
Is your squad moving together, or is someone isolated and getting picked off?
Stands for Special Weapons and Tactics — the type of police officer you play as in every mission.
PvE
