Summary
Ready Or Notis a tense and realistic take on urban conflicts faced bymodern law enforcement. To succeed, this first-person shooter requires tactical thinking, planning, and trigger discipline. After all, you may be walking into a hostage situation that demands a careful approach.
Before each engagement, you can build a unique loadout that suits the mission and helps equip you for the best outcome. But, with so many options available, which load-outs are the most effective? While each player may have their favorites, some options will consistently serve you well.
57 USG
Heavy Armor
Ballistic Facemask
Success in Ready Or Not depends highly on your playstyle and role within the game. But, for the typical player, this loadout is a good fit unless you wish to take on challenges using non-lethal methods.
You’ll want to utilize suppressors to avoid alerting enemies on the map to your presence and equip laser sights for enhanced accuracy. The Mirror Gun allows you to peek under closed doors, and when you’re ready to breach, the heavy armor provides extra protection.
Light Armor
Perhaps you aren’t looking tosneak and stealth your way to the objectivebut blast your way through the map. In this case, you may ditch the suppressors and the Mirror Gun and go in a different direction with a combination of power and speed.
You’ll replace the Mirror Gun with a Breach Shotgun, which can overwhelm the enemy and keep the team moving forward. While heavy armor provides excellent protection, it also slows movement speed, which puts you at a disadvantage. When the hostiles know you’re coming, opt for light armor instead.
Light/Ceramic
Gas Mask
One of the fantastic aspects of Ready Or Not is the flexibility you have when carrying out your objectives. Sometimes, developers push you in one direction or another regarding how to complete a particular level.
But VOID Interactive, the makers of Ready Or Not, provide you with options, including non-lethal approaches. you may replace the high-powered rifle with a Beanbag Shotgun and equip gas grenades and a gas mask to incapacitate the enemy rather than kill them.
NVGS
As you progress, this tactical shooter ratchets up the difficulty and introduces new elements, such as dark tunnels. To handle pitch-black passages and other low-light rooms, it becomes vital to equip night vision goggles.
A night vision build also benefits from a Battering Ram, which can send your team bursting through doors and catch enemies by surprise. Flashbangs are also a great tool as they can blind hostiles, making them easier to neutralize.
Sometimes, Ready Or Not requires you to move quickly through the map to accomplish your mission. You would want to avoid cumbersome heavy armor and weaker rounds, as you need to be light on your feet and deadly to put down threats efficiently.
The MP7 and Five Seven with AP ammo are ideal for enhanced armor penetration, which can swiftly bring down hostiles and clear out areas of the map. Your armor should be light for better movement, and you should stay mobile to avoid becoming a still target.
Stab Vest/Kevlar
Anti-Flash Goggles
This loadout shares some similarities to others on the list but with variations in armor and equipment. You’ll want to consider tools like the Mirror gun and equipment that includes flash bangs, a lockpick gun, or wedges.
If you take flash bang grenades, you must equip the Anti-Flash Goggles to prevent blinding yourself while clearing a room. It’s also helpful to opt for the Kevlar Stab Vest to protect from hostiles you may have missed during the breach.
Heavy Armor/Steel
This set of weapons and tools is ideal for maps that throw a lot of enemies at you simultaneously. You’ll need to increase your armor, equip the Ballistic Shield, and use gas grenades to help quell many hostiles attacking you.
Heavy Steel Armor will help protect you but slow your movement, so the Ballistic Shield will provide cover until you find a better position. If you feel overwhelmed by enemies, gas works well to disperse them, but make sure you equip a Gas Mask.
While the Beanbag Shotgun is a great non-lethal choice, it can also become deadly if you hit enemies in the face. Another option would be the R7 Launcher, which fires pepper balls that can incapacitate enemies when fired near them or directly at them.
Also, you can equip a Taser instead of a handgun as your secondary weapon, ensuring you can subdue rather than kill hostiles. The Ballistic Shield will help protect you and allow your character to shoot around the shield with limited accuracy.
