About Ready or Not
Ready or Not puts you in the role of a SWAT commander tasked with restoring order to Los Sueños, a city plagued by crime and corruption. Each mission requires you to choose a squad, equip authentic gear, and decide how to breach, engage, and protect civilians.
The title offers single‑player and online co‑op modes, full controller support, and a Digital Deluxe Edition that bundles the base game with three story‑driven DLCs—Home Invasion, Dark Waters, and Boiling Point—each adding new missions, weapons, gear, and cosmetic options.
01 / THE GUIDE
Digital Deluxe Edition and DLC Content
The Digital Deluxe Edition contains the base game plus the first three downloadable content packs: Home Invasion, Dark Waters, and Boiling Point. Each pack adds three new missions and a selection of weapons, gear, and colour variants for uniforms.
Home Invasion places you in hurricane‑damaged neighborhoods, Dark Waters moves the action to offshore locations, and Boiling Point focuses on a city‑wide terror crisis, expanding both narrative and tactical options.
- Read each DLC’s mission brief to match gear before deployment.
- Combine new weapons with familiar ones to keep options flexible.
02 / THE GUIDE
True Tactical Gameplay
Every operation is presented as a high‑stakes, life‑or‑death scenario where you position your squad, breach entrances, and neutralise threats while protecting civilians. Bullets react realistically with walls, furniture and bodies.
Following the rules of engagement and communicating with teammates are essential; failure can lead to squad or hostage casualties, which affect mission outcomes.
- Use cover and clear corners methodically to avoid friendly fire.
- Maintain clear radio communication for coordinated breaching.
03 / THE GUIDE
Squadmate and Hostage Impact
Deaths among squad members or hostages impose a psychological toll on surviving officers, potentially influencing their performance or ending their careers. Your choices directly shape these outcomes.
The game tracks these effects, making each decision carry weight beyond immediate combat results.
- Prioritise hostage safety to preserve squad morale.
- Avoid reckless breaching that could endanger teammates.
04 / THE GUIDE
Cross‑Play Cooperative Play
Ready or Not supports up to five players in online co‑op across all platforms, allowing mixed‑platform teams to join the same tactical operation.
Effective teamwork and communication are amplified in co‑op, as each player controls a squad member and contributes to the overall plan.
- Assign clear roles (breacher, sniper, medic) before starting a co‑op match.
- Use voice chat or in‑game commands to keep the team synchronized.
05 / THE GUIDE
Authentic Weapons and Gear
The game features real‑world SWAT weapons and equipment, including new items introduced in each DLC. Gear choices affect tactical options and mission success.
Colour variants for pants and shirts provide visual customisation without altering gameplay balance.
- Match weapon load‑outs to mission objectives (e.g., breaching shotguns for doors).
- Experiment with DLC gear sets to find the most comfortable configuration.
