This time, we're covering the SWAT-556.
The SWAT is the first burst-fire weapon you'll unlock, at level 10, and Black Ops 2 marks the weapon's first appearance in the Call of Duty series.
The SIG SG 556, as it is known in real life, is a weapon of Swiss origin that was first produced in 1986 and introduced into service in 1990.
It is the US-made version of the SG 551, and in real life is a semi-automatic weapon intended for the civilian market.
The parent design is technically chambered for the Swiss 5.6mm GP 90 round, although this specification is fully interchangeable with the far more common NATO 5.56mm cartridge.
The SWAT name used in-game refers to 'Special Weapons and Tactics' police units, a potential role for this weapon: the change likely made to avert potential licensing or legal issue.
In-game, damage per shot is moderate, but very consistent out to a long range.
You'll usually need 3 body shots to kill, although this drops to 4 shots at an extreme distance.
The SWAT also has a higher-than usual headshot multiplier, which means that you can kill with a single burst at any range - although it is rather unlikely to score three headshots in a single burst.
Equipping the select fire attachment will reduce your ranged damage considerably: you'll generally need 4 shots to kill instead of just 3.
Post-patch, the weapon now has LMG-grade penetration, technically higher than the other assault rifles - but in practical terms, performance through walls is similar to its peers.
Rate of fire is high within the burst - at the equivalent of 940 rounds per minute, a well-placed sequence of shots will quickly down a target.
There is a mandatory delay between your bursts, however - and so your overall maximum rate of fire will be around 500 rounds per minute instead.
Select fire will make your weapon fully-automatic, and as such will let you fire at the full 940 rounds per minute, the same as the Type 25.
When employed as a burst weapon, recoil is very low - with your sights settling during the delay.
Even within the 3 shot burst, kick is relatively mild: it's not uncommon to hit a mid-range target with all three bullets fired, if your aim is true.
Automatic fire via select fire will prove to be less accurate - continuous shooting will lead your aim vertically upwards, making burst fire a better option for longer distances.
Aim time is standard for the assault rifle class, at 250 milliseconds - as is your movement speed, at 95 percent of the maximum base speed.
Magazine capacity is again standard for the SWAT's class, with thirty rounds between reloads.
Extended clip will give you 39 rounds instead of the more usual 40, for a supply more easily divisible by the 3-round-burst.
Reload times are quite bearable, on the more rapid end of assault rifle reloads at 2.09 seconds.
Given the restrained consumption of a burst fire weapon, such reloads seldom prove inconvenient.
The SWAT-556 is an excellent weapon within its mid-to-long range niche, and rewards players able to force engagements at this range with the potential for high scorestreaks.
With excellent range and relatively low recoil, the SWAT retains good burst lethality out to quite some distance, and even in cases where the first burst fails to kill - the second is equally accurate and quick to follow.
Unfortunately, the burst fire and consistent ranged damage won't serve you well in close quarter gunfights - the SWAT's performance at such ranges is severely lacking.
The weapon's demand for accurate burst placement means lucky hipfire or your secondary is all you can rely on: going toe-to-toe with the SWAT will almost always leave you at a disadvantage.
Still, if you position yourself well and prepare your defences, you can round out these flaws and dominate from afar.
Keep your distance, and patiently bait a trap - lure your enemies into your sights, wait for the perfect moment to strike...
...and SWAT your opponents like flies.
"It's best to tone down your agression with this weapon"
*Swiss neutrality intensifies*
Lol
I absolutely love the reloading animation of this gun.
Earth Ultimatum IV. It’s so satisfying and shows the whole gold gun!!
Same as far cry new dawn rusty ARC
Especially when you find out that the rifle has no pistol grip
Do you saw the honeybadger reload in Ghost that was also satisfying
Thecoolnerdplays VR I only have the fourth and fifth one :(
That moment when a gun is so underused, that even the bad guys in the campaign rarely use it.
Dillon C its name has SWAT
They used M8A1 Because they replaced the M4 :(
Hey dude are you that guy I see on exclusive aces videos
Idk why this gun is so Underrated
Probably because the mere existence of the ma81.
ZenXth It's pretty obvious: The M8A1 exists, so all of the other burst weapons end up being underused. Why would you ever wait the same amount of time to fire one burst that does less damage?
Meloetta Dramatic True that. By the end of the year, I think this gun will be my most used gun, followed by this gun's mere opposite, the Type 25.
I still use it with just select fire. It allows you to usually dominate in medium and long range, but also clean house with the gun's actually decent hip fire with select fire. I actually went on a pretty good 18 kill streak yesterday, even as the game was lagging.
[GD] Zen I started using it because I was like "I wanna see how this gun does" At first it had burst and I was like "Ughhhh" but then I gave it a try and let me tell you it's my third favorite weapon behind MSMC (1st place) Type 25 (2nd Type)
Idk why but I was so shit with this gun...
"It's highly unlikely to score three headshots in a single burst."
"Post patch the weapon now has LMG-grade penentration."
"Well-placed sequence of shots will quickly down a target."
Penis guide. Thanks, Stu.

this with select fire is a beast
no its not
dayton 1738 I get crazy kills with this gun in full auto, idk about you but it's always worked really well for me
probably against noobs
eww full auto
I Gary Pickrell IV i dont use full auto my accuracy is just always on point
Select fire, suppressor, and reflex (or fast mags). This weapon is incredibly strong in every game mode. I feel as the SWAT-556 is under-rated, but it is one of the best burst rifles, in my opinion.
One of the best burst fire rifles? There’s only 2 lol. But it was underrated, overshadowed by the M8A1
he has the best voice for this
I know right?
holy, even a whole clan can't stop him! he's good!
Maybe way too much good for a bad clan.
shut up
Got my first vtol with this class
Thanks. Mr. Stu
This weapon is overlooked by a lot of people, especially since it's beginning counterpart was horrible. I played a couple games with the SWAT-556, and bear in mind I'm your slightly above average player, and was able to kill it on the field. It's a good weapon, but some of the downsides are bad CQB and average sights, counteracted by a good pistol, preferably a KAP or B23R, and a better sight, respectively.
Not to brag or anything. but 60% of people on COD are above average. You just gotta get comfortable with the weapons you pick up.
Yes, but I was saying this because I don't play too often, I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything, and was able to do well with the weapon.
Stealthy GunnerX Well, define "average". Because I doubt that.
weakestlink20 well I guess how they play defines how they do. If they walk into the center of the map, expecting nobody to kill them. I guess that's worse than average😂😂
After using the Swat for such a long time, I cant use the M8A1 anymore. I feel like the Swat dominates. I go 13-2 in SnD.
It's a good gun Irl, I own one and have had no complaint except that it came stock with plastic magazines which don't feed the bullets well enough into the gun so I thought I had a shit gun for awhile. Turns out, I just needed metal magazines.
@Anonymous Panacea unless it's a p90
I really liked the burst weapons in this game, I don't know if they were statistically the best, but the SWAT-556, the B23r the M8A1 and the Chicom were my favourite weapons
Interesting, they are all Burst Fire.
I agree, the burst-fire weapons just get the job done.
Aren't those all the burst fire weapons?
CreeperGaming & More! yes
Your serious voice during the guide is awesome, and the way you end every guide with a pun is priceless! Keep up the good work, Stu!
The delay isn't really that bad, especially since they reduced it a little. If you need to go in close combat, I'd say a laser sight is always needed, stock isn't really necessary but it provides insurance. It's just nice knowing you're always going to drop someone in 3 shots which isn't hard to get. It's kind of like the MW2 Famas except cooler.
damn 10yrs ago! anyone 2024?
Oh hi there
Hello there
I suck with this gun but it is just so fun to use it.
Here’s a tip for you then: try using cover more often, attacking from one end of an area to another will help force the area where it has the advantage
Wow, your speaking is so clear and thorough that the RUclips captions that I accedentially had on is almost perfect to what you're actually speaking.
This guns is a beast in hardcore mode
I know righr
Best assault rifle in the game. Why everyone think this weapon is worst? So M16 (BlOps) is not shitty? This weapon haves better range and less recoil. And everyone thinks its the worst. SWAT rules. M16 not..
+Jontskuuuu You seem to like a lot of underrated guns. Not a bad thing btw
Yep
Jontskuuuu Noice
Malte Molin No not really dumbass
Bitch
This is my personal build for the swat-556:
Stock, select fire
Perk 1 greed
Hardline, flack jacket
Thoughness
Dexterity
C4
Concussion or flash bang
With Select Fire this gun is like a SWAT SMG. It dominates in close range (and medium in the right conditions).
Equip a grip with it and you're invincible
+David Vonderhaar oh yes it does
I have been wary of people that cover things on Call of Duty. Yet XboxAhoy does it a professional fashion, yet seems very relaxed at the same time.
I like these videos, and I hope to see many more in the future.
A scary combo with this gun:
MMS sight
Select Fire
Stock
Full auto, good ADS strafe, and wallhacks. Absolutely slays
I like using this gun because tryhards don't use. With select fire and decent enough connection you can compete with assholes using the scar h or AN94 in my opinion. And I like where the emblem sits, oh and it looks awesome in diamond
You sound like the asshole when you call other people assholes for using a certain option available for them.
@@Bukiphoria Its true though. Instead of using guns that are a little more underused nd require skill, everyone just uses the best ones. Thats an asshole move if you ask me
@@krizula1117 It’s their choice. They can use whatever weapon they choose. It doesn’t make them an asshole for doing what they wanna do.
stock , fmj , & suppressor
Suppressor, red dot, fast mags
Nah fam. Select fire, suppressor, foregrip, good to go 👍
The Depressed Illegal ... That's For People That's Bad In Bo2 ... If You Don't Play With Stock Then You Are A Random
stock, grip, v-scope
Cari ATL Fmj? What the hell?
I wish he made weapon guides for MWR
El Stink no he didnt, i wish he did tho
The quality of these videos is insane. I'm not a CoD fan and I HATE PvP, but these videos are always so dang entertaining.
The half life emblem!
Lambda.
+Charlie WithaQ Same difference and I was talking about the emblem as a reference
I have that as my emblem
my favorite assault rifle in BO2
This gun is the closest thing i have to the G11...
);
You sir have a great narrating voice and a black ops 2 genius to boot I salute you as well keep up the great work you are a master of your craft
So underrated it was so good with a mms sight with select fire and quickdraw basically had wall hacks with the ability to one burst so good in snd for recon around corners and head glitches
the grau 🤤🤤🤤
i got this gold its awesome
see not only is toblerone Swiss the SWAT-556 is
Stu, I spent one long sunday afternoon with this gun, I found it altogether unwieldy at first, it felt very awkward, however after a few hours as I became more familiar with it I found it to be elegant and uncomplicated...love this gun.
Stu, i have a few questions...
1- Do you play zombies?
2- Do you know more than one language?
3- Fav wep?
4- How many questions are too much?
Great guide on the SWAT, I found using the Select Fire to be handy.
I liked this gun when the game first came out, but it was tweaked so much over the game's life that isn't close to what it was at first and I can't stand that. They could've completely scrapped the gun from in-game files and replaced it with something else and that would've taken less effort. I also can't stand when people run full auto on this thing. Seriously people, if it's a burst weapon by default, then it is MEANT to be a burst weapon. It becomes an M27 with more recoil, therefore you are screwing yourselves over when you do this. Why purposely weaken yourself like that anyway?
Some people like collecting diamond weapons, like me for example.
If you want a diamond weapon, you are forced to gold every weapon in class.
So if you want diamond assault rifles, you also have to play with SWAT.
Some people are not doing well with burst-firing weapons (at least not here, on PC) but they need to get through that gun, so they install the Selective fire to make it easier.
its nothing like m27...m27 takes 5 shots to kill and has less recoil automatic
Jake Holland I know this is an old game and old comment but the full auto can be switched when going for long range shot but if flanked, switch for full auto that's what it is made for. My class is Reflex, Select fire and quick draw. The primary gun fire and for perks I use perk 2 greed scavenger, toughness, lightweight, and dexterity. If you don't want perk 2 greed then I recommend you use C4 and E.M.P
Lol that half life emblem
Will you do call of duty advanced warfare
I hope to God he does
when i get it and h does this i will be epicitizez
Swat 556 is my favourite AR and the tac 45 is my favourite pistol (these two will always be my favourite two guns of bo2)
Great review. This is my favorite gun in the game with select fire, silencer, and grip. Deadly for sure!
Call me a noon but I use Acog and QuickDraw
What console do you have
Landon Montira if his name is XBOXahoy wat do u think
+BradOutley The person was clearly not talking about xbox ahoy, but rather the person he/she replied to. Please, educate yourself you.pathetic imbecile.
***** wow calm down
noob*
this thing is an absolute piece of shit. worst gun I've ever used and i was so happy when i was done presteiging it. rate of fire is so damn slow like why would you ever want to use this. the delay is so long between bursts and is very hard to hit a moving target that way. i HATE HATE HATE this gun. why you would ever use this rather then the m8a1 is a huge wonder to me.
Oh come on it's not that bad at medium to long range :)
The M8A1 is easier to use this gun is more for pros who have good aim and are able to hit loving targets you sir probably have shitty aim and have a below average K/D
1.40 k/d with a weapon i hate isn't that bad. not my style though. eh i'd say i'm slightly above average
Mines is at 2.76 so don't get your hopes up kiddo
i'm not saying anything, i'm just saying that i don't suck ass
I love the puns that you make for each gun at the end of every video
mate you have the best voice it's just badass
This gun was so understated if you mastered the swat it was one of the best weapons in this game, miss playing this game so long ago
He used to do a different logo each week but now he just keeps his great X & A logo :)
YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Thank you for creating this, you make every gun sound amazing
This gun is overpowered. It always kills in one burst. And since its a burst weapon, its only weakness is close quarters combat but then that is mitigated by using select fire which makes it more like a very powerful version of the type 25.
And SWAT Your opponents like flies i love XboxAhoy's last words before creating another weapon guide
i knew there would be something with flies at the end pun. oh the joys of wordplay and puns
Man, Stu you always make the guns so easy to use so I'm like "oh i'll play around with this gun. I liked the Famas from MW2 maybe i'll like this." I play one game and it's like "No EF this gun, it is NOT the Famas from MW2, you were wrong to even pick it up, put it down before someone see you with it, cut your losses and go back to your automatic weapons!"
I always get so excited for the puns! xD
For closer ranges use attachments: Grip, Quick draw and select fire. Use the thing that gives you 3 attachments
This gun is so underrated. I barely see anyone use this and its actually really good
Kieran Milward yeah
My counter sniper class is the FAL with Grip, quick draw and Target finder. It proves EXTREMELY useful on hardcore game modes. It totes a near 1 hit kill and with the attachments adding to it's range it is more than capable of taking the place of a sniper rifle if you aren't willing to dedicate an entire class to a dedicated long range rifle.
His weapon guides are really good and you can see that he puts loads of time in it!
his voice is so formal
I remember finally unlocking select fire on this gun in BO2. Once you have it on full auto it becomes the best AR in the game by far
scrap the target finder and tac insert, replace the target finder w/ extended clip and replace tac insert w/ an emp nade. love that class
All you have to do to change this to a mobility class is throw a laser sight on the gun, allowing you to burst and get on target in close quarter combat situations all while shooting from the hip. even though this is a burst weapon, putting the laser sight on will make it one of the strongest hip firing weapons to play with. when you shoot your on screen cross hairs expand, if you are shooting a burst weapon this function is greatly reduced, making shot spread much tighter and more accurate.
I know that the glitch where the bullets don't register and the 100 bullet are patched, but the SWAT deals 40-18 damage. It's just that the range is so insane that you'll never need more than four shots to kill.
I sold Black Ops 2 over a month ago, but I still love these vides.
Great work.
You sold it? Lol, how much you get, $1.86?
i love xboxahoy's weapon guides and
thethinkingpile makes great zombie weapon guides!!
Camos actually affect your guns rate of fire on PC.
The more complicated the camo is the harder it becomes for your PC to keep up so your game starts to lag. As your games lags your bullets won't register and your rpm will become relatively slower.
I used the M8A1 a lot now because of all the buffs the SWAT-556 is now a good weapon and I use it a lot
My SWAT setup (before I prestieged it) Select Fire, Quickdraw and Stock, its a good setup, you keep the long range attributes and still get the CQC prowess,
I love the reload on this thing
Once we get tht remaster this gun will be incredible
Actually the 556 version is restricted to semi-auto only. It's supposed to be an Americanized civilian version. The 556 also uses different magazines than the other 550 series.
i love this series! it has really helped me out with class setups and I am thankful I found this series.
It's weird to have actually seen this gun IRL. In Switzerland people coming home from the military often have one just strapped onto the backpacks. Oddly i've never felt in danger seeing some one carry one.
Love this weapon! :D
EOTech-Select Fire-Stock
Play to your gun, then play the objective, I see Stu is doing that so I have nothing to complain, nor am I going to complain, seems pointless to me. Love your videos Stu, keep em comin!
AH! The Half-Life Lambda is your emblem! You did a good job on it!
He doesn't play to win, he plays to get large groups of kills in short bursts. Playing Kill Confirmed and not collecting the tags will increase the length of a game, and the longer a games goes the more likely he is to get a good clip.
The maps, weapons and all around game play of Black Ops 2 made it the absolute best game that C.O.D. has ever produced. Thats saying a lot considering Black Ops 1 was unbelievably brilliant.
Yeah, I'll agree with you there. It's like I expect it to be faster so I press the trigger to quickly and I miss the end of the delay so I'm usually like "it doesn't work!" haha
Ah the Half Life emblem, very nice! How did you find the games Stu and how anxious are you to play Half Life 3?
Hey XBOXAHOY, I love the series, but where did "behind the lines" go. I love the nononsence, true gun review and information. You made the FN FAL episode with very unique film techniques and presented the information very well. I hope to see some more episodes in the future when you finish up on the BO2 series.
Agreed, despite what the stats say, the 556 just "feels better, the M8 does have the advantage of the extra round in the burst. Both are my top 2 assualt rifles with the Swat edging out ahead. xbox live tag Slydermac
this guy makes every gun look good
i love his bad puns at the end :D
i would go with tactical mask... i love it, ever since you introduced it. id rather go tactical mask and no secondary weapon.. but still this load out is top class. keep uploading...
So you tried my suggestion?
1 bursting noobs on the flight pad at carrier is great fun.
This weapon is brilliant in its role.
If you cant play that style of game, dont blame the equipment.
the most it take is two pulls of a trigger to most anywhere on the body, one if a head shot, it is very efficient and precise to the point it is almost overpowered
While my build with the 556 is a bit different, I play it with the same tactical mindset. I Love this gun, and it was great to see how another build might look.
Swap the Grip with the long barrel. The grip only improves your accuracy by a small amount, while the long barrel will increase your 1-2 hit kill potential, both on hardcore and on core.
Can't wait for the LSAT. It's my favourite LMG, even being the last. *dat pun*
He's probably playing kill confirmed as a personal preference it doesn't seen like he runs deathly after his dog tags. He is just saying how the weapon is good at long rage and even says that your secondary is basically the same thing for close range attackers.
Dude the full-auto on this gun is crazy
The M8A1, and yeah I do too. If the SWAT had a more consistent one burst kill, I might choose it over the M8A1 for playing defensively.
dexterity, lightweight, hardline, scavenger, select fire, primary gunfighter, fore grip, stock, perk2 greed and obviously the SWAT556
I would recommend select fire, given that burst fire is not good for close range. This weapon is very good with FMJ, Select Fire, and Hybrid Sight. FMJ helps a bit with damage and penetration. Select Fire, as mentioned before, makes it a versatile weapon suitable for any range or map. Finally, Hybrid Sight compliments Select Fire. The 'ACOG mode' is better while using burst at long range, and the 'red dot mode' is fitting with full-auto.
very very detailed and good guide, 10/10, subscribed
Well, the SIG 556 is a SIG SG 550-series weapon with the magwell changed to take STANAG magazines, and those originated with the M16, and there aren't really any guns in CoD with closer relation to the SIG 556 than the M16, so...
I love this weapon! good at certain distances, it's controllable, and very reliable in my book
