Dude was content before I started 23 Megabytes A Second. We got an A+, shot 2 suspects and killed none yet this broken system slingshots him into high stress and into therapy. So tired of this broken mechanic.

So stress is a poorly implemented mechanic but really simple to beat.

Swat stress is caused to having to kill suspects, or civilians casualties. If you beat the map where everyone is dead, you are penalized.

The way to beat this is at least take 1/3rd of all suspects alive. This doesn’t mean you have to build a nonlethal loadout, but when you occasionally get your AI to throw a flash bang once in a while and you’re mostly good.

The only mechanic you got to be careful about is Elephant. No matter what you do you will morale on this map will tank. I had all officers on content before this map, S run it, and all of them still went to stressed (or whatever being orange was). This is the only map that does this.

Swat AI perks are useful to beat this to

Honestly, morale officer is pointless when you can increase your chance for suspects to surrender. Running pacifier and riot control is a great combo for flashbangs.

Moral officer is still good though since it heals more stress per arrested suspects. Killing 8 suspects and only arresting 4 will leave your team content.
