SEF First Responders is coming along with the idea of a realistic and cinematic gameplay modification of Swat Elite Force.
SEF 7.0 by Eezstreet is the base mod in which my mod starts , the only possible way to play Swat 4 nowadays.
My idea is to expand the concept and explore boundaries of the visual assets and tactical gameplay.
New 3d models for weapons , equipment and environment combined with realistic sounds , weapon handling , slower pace gameplay and AI tweaks to make Swat 4 feel more "heavy" and "dangerous" than any other Swat 4 experience you had before.

Hello! 0.67 is finally released in Stable version and I hope you you'll enjoy it.
Full changelog from 0.66 Stable to this release below.
I would also like to have a breif moment to talk about this release and the future of this mod.
0.67 AND WHY SO MANY BETAS
From 0.66 I've achieved many new features we all wanted:
- Shield
- Medical System
- Quick Reload
- Restrained can be pushed on floor
- SP custom skin support
- Many other little things aren't listed here but I hope you will notice while playing or reading the Changelog.
One thing I really thought it was necessary was an AI overhaul. AI in Swat4 sucks and is good at the same time. It's a really big and awkward monkey that keeps on flippin.
AI in all his aspect has been reviewed , fixed , tested to a point that it might not be smart but at least can do basic things right. Believe me , it's a great achievement.
Many of you will surely found flows in suspects and swat AI behaviors , I do too , but the most important thing was to make a base for further developments.AI adjusting , needed many tests in the wild, and so that's why I released many Betas.
WHAT'S AFTER 0.67?
My life will change in few months. I'll became father this summer so time for me will be a luxury.Following this , after Stable release , I'll restrict even more this very Discord to be just little more than "Need help/bug report" thing until further notice.I really hope you'll understand and catch the opportunity to create a non-mod related Discord that will greatly help the community grow and better organize.
For 0.68 I really want to explore few more things like Battering Rams and Night Vision devices ( IR lasers and VIP lights ) but I don't know what future will bring so don't expect much.
In any case, after those two things, my time on Swat 4 development will come to an end. I have other projects in mind probably around UE and possibly in the VR area or maybe just touching grass... who knows....

Probably the best mod for Swat 4 TSS currently out there.
Really impressive features for such and old game.
Just some stuff i have recoqnised so far:
-Enemy AI is a little bit poor and easy to handle(alot easier than orginal SEF).
-Friendly AI is more OP.
Some requests to make it even better:
-Remove penalty for tripping alarms/bombs(if you play without optiwand this would be nice).
-Benelli M4 with Eotech is probably one of the best shotgun moments in a game for me. I would love the Nova with Eotech or red dot as well.
-Remington 870 with a stock would also be a really nice addition.
-Fix AI according to above for a more challenging gameplay.
Other then that amazing work with the mod!
in 0.65 optiwand will no longer be able to mirror under the door , so no more trap penalty.
AI is probably easier to handle cause of the new 2 seconds delay before shooting included by eezstreet in SEF 7.1.
That makes easier SP but in MP is good enough.
why would you not make that an option
Isnt the entire point of brining an optiwand to mirror under doors?
I have a problem i downloaded the mega map pack and i can find them in SEF all mission campaign but the briefing is disabled so i don't know about the missions (which is a lot) how can i enable the briefing?
usually custom maps dont have briefing like the ones coming from the vanilla game.
You can read something in the description if you press N (or ESC) while ingame.
So it's not possible to enable them like in the mega map??
thanks for the great mod very high quality stuff.*
When you order the AI to "Breach Shotgun and Granade" the AI is not throwing the nade. Just wanted to report this bug.
thanks so much for putting in the effort to make such an old but non the less great game even better. all the best to you
very mod
Add uniforms please
MP skins are compatible so you can add whatever you want.
SP skins are fixed , always been like that in Swat 4.
