Nice way to neutralize 2 tangos with 1 bullet, right?

[h2]Here's how to participate:[/h2]

1. Download the free demo from the store page (NOT THE PROLOGUE)
2. Play the weekly challenge mission of the SWAT faction (select SWAT / Missions / Challenges / Weekly 19/2022)
   
3. Take a screenshot of the mission report showing the details of your score (or even better, record and share a cool replay!)
   
4. Post it in the discussion below

[h3]On Monday (May 9th), the top 3 reported scores will win a key for the full game![/h3]

Here's what the mission looks like:

Now, show me your tacticool skills!

NB: I've changed the scoring system a bit on the demo to be less about speed and more about team preservation and objectives.
