  Early Access Update - New Mission - The Elite Society

  🚨 Officers, The Early Access version of SWAT Commander has received a major update today, bringing a brand new mission to our EA players - The Elite Society! Check it out right here on Steam: New Mission - The Elite SocietyBehind rusted gates and overgrown grounds, a crumbling old residence has stood quiet for years, or so the neighborhood believed. The once-grand estate has been serving as the meeting place of a self-styled "elite society": a circle of privileged individuals convinced that wealth and connections place them above the law. Soon, a large-scale police investigation reveals that this group's gatherings serve as little more than a cover-up for their benefactors' crossing from private indulgence into serious criminal activity.Tonight, their exclusive club receives its least welcome guests yet. Membership has its privileges, but immunity from a SWAT intervention isn't one of them. Expect individuals who believe consequences are for other people, protected by those paid handsomely to keep it that way. The decaying mansion offers as many hazards as it does hiding places: \Watch our announcement trailer below to get a feel of what the mission is like:SWAT Commander Early Access v.0.7.9.6 - "The Elite Society"MISSIONS Added a new Early Access mission: Elite Society. Includes 3 game modes and is available in Custom Game mode.UI Improved attachment sorting to ensure attachments are always displayed in a consistent order.
