Haven SWAT, 2 person set-up

Haven SWAT, 2 person set-up

Hi all,

After playing a couple of Swat games with my friend recently we have been frequently playing Haven. Lately we have been going on a win streak for this map because we have created a set up that I share.

1st Player - Running top-mid

Okay so the first person has to run top mid. If you can't decide who you think should run it, I recommend the person with the fastest reactions out of the two. Seen as the said person must react promptly to spawns.

2nd Player - Back and forth from (Red - Closed - Blue)

The person who I recommend to run this set up has to be the most accurate of the two players. Seen as the said person has to have a lock on ability to the enemies.

How it Works

If you have two people running these set-ups the spawns seem to be very well controlled. (That's if the enemies are locked down at the spawns.)

The person in top mid is mainly used as the spawn trapper. If you know where the enemies are going to spawn from top mid this can be extremely well controlled. It racks up a lot of double kills.

The person hovering from blue - closed - red. Picks off any stragglers which ensures that the whole team remains where they spawn.

The person in top mid has the priority off wiping off the less obvious spawns. These include Open spawn, and spawning bottom of either the lifts. 

Pro's!

Red ramp spawn and blue ramp spawn will be extremely locked down, the enemies will not be able to leave these spawns due to the pressure that they receive from two angles (top mid and blue/red window)

The lifts will always be controlled as long as you listen out for them. Make sure you know the enemy has lifted before you react catching them off guard.

Con's

If you are not aware that they have spawned open the instant they spawn there. This will instantly result in the death of the player running top mid. If the enemy spreads out, it will be harder to monitor spawns.

If a player spawns any ramp at runs bottom, and you are not aware of the player doing so, they can catch you off guard by attacking up closed ramp, or altering the spawns so the enemy team spawns bottom.

Top mid tips

Make sure you rotate which platforms and landing pads you stand on to make sure that you will not be targeted on the enemies next respawn (Always Keep Moving!)

Always check red and blue ramps before you check open. If you check open before the ramps, and an enemy does spawn ramp... You're dead.

Red - Closed - Blue tips

Never, under any circumstanced travel further then either red or blue window. As soon as you do, you will fail to support your team mate in top mid.

Make sure you set up on Mohawk when you are convinced it is an open spawn.

What about the other two guys?

Use your team mates as a tool. Evaluate where your team mates are in order to figure out where the enemies could be and where they are most likely to spawn.

You could also integrate this into a 4 player set-up by getting your team mates to sit red and blue lift. This will cancel out any bottom mid spawn, and force the enemies to only spawn open, red or blue and you will have full view of bottom.

Set up counter

If you play this set-up it is important you are aware of the contours.

Double lift - If the enemies lift from both lifts at the same time, this will result in the player in top mid dying. unless the player positions themselves on no platform, picking off a lifting player and then jump shoting the next when they have landed

Running closed from bottom - If a player is aware of what you are doing they will most likely run bottom to closed to catch you off guard, be aware of this.

Open to top mid rush - If all players spawn open and run platform, this will over run the person in top mid due to positioning.

Main Spawns to watch

I have hi-lighted the main spawns to watch in red, and the uncommon but possible spawns in blue.

The spawns tend to rotate, They mainly switch back and forth from red to blue ramp. If you pick the enemies off enough times, they spawn open and lifts.

There are two main causes for the players spawning closed or tunnels.

Closed - The player running red - closed - blue has travelled to close to one of the ramps, and a team mate is sitting on the other.

Red/blue tunnel - You have each team mate placed (open, bottom closed, red ramp, blue ramp)

Final words

I hope enjoy my information of this set up and hope it helped your Haven play style for SWAT.

Kind Regards,
