How It Works

The mod uses PAYDAY 3's existing combat team relationships to preserve proper AI targeting and real damage.

Living regular SWAT are split between two hostile sides:

Team/Faction 0/0and

Team/Faction 2/2The teams are periodically reshuffled, meaning a SWAT unit can change sides during the fight.

The human player and Crew AI are kept neutral:

Team/Faction 1/1This allows the SWAT battle to continue without the modified SWAT targeting the player or Crew AI.

Requirements

• []PAYDAY 3 on PC[/]

  []UE4SS[/]

Tested with:

• []PAYDAY 3 UE5. 5[/]

  []UE4SS[/]

Installation

Extract the mod folder into:

PAYDAY3\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\The final structure should look like:

Mods\SWAT_vs_SWAT_Dynamic_FFA\enabled.txtMods\SWAT_vs_SWAT_Dynamic_FFA\scripts\main.luaStart PAYDAY 3 normally and enter a heist.

Compatibility

Designed and tested primarily for solo gameplay with Crew AI.

Multiplayer and client-side behavior have not been fully tested.

Notes

This mod is intended to create a hilarious chaotic spectator-style SWAT conflict rather than replacing the normal PAYDAY 3 combat system entirely.

Special enemy behavior is left untouched to avoid interfering with their unique abilities and AI logic.
