Ready or Not – The Operators Tactical Handbook

This guide was created to help individuals navigate Ready or Not in a tactical manner and have some basic knowledge on how to survive the OPs.

Pre-Game and Setup

Ready Room

When loading into the Pre-Game session, you will spawn in the Ready Room. This room is where all missions are launched to get your feet into the field!

To select the raid mission, approach the commander’s desk at the front of the room to open the Mission Selector. Inside this selector you will see eight(8) individual locations to choose from. Six(6) of the eight(8) locations are developed locations that are able to be experienced in the Ready or Not universe.

These locations are as followed:

• 213 Park Homes (Twisted Nerve) @ 0330 – 3:30 A.M.
  The detectives have been following a new lead to locate a source of methamphetamine storage in Los Suenos, tracing a potential “affordable housing” development in 213 Park
• 4U Gas Station (Thank You, Come Again) @ 2300 – 11:00 P.M.
  Respond to a robbery gone bad. Multiple civilians are inside, as local police are on-scene. The assailants are juveniles and expectedly skittish.
• Wenderly Hills Hotel (Checkin’ In) @ 1230 – 12:30 P.M.
  D Platoon is to deploy on-site and clear the key floors of this hotel. Multiple civilians inside. Very dangerous, deceptive suspects. Be on your a-game.
• Cesar’s Cars Dealership (Buy Cheap, Buy Twice) @ 0440 – 4:40 A.M.
  The team has been tasked with infiltrating the Caesar’s Cars dealership downtown, as investigators working the Port Hokan case have uncovered a paper trail leading to this particular workplace. Exercise extreme caution.
• Port Hokan (Hide and Seek) @ 0215 – 2:15 A.M.
  Joint strike operation between Metro SWAT, FBI HRT, and ATF. Rainy Weather. Your platoon has been tasked with clearing Warehouse One and the Void Shipping Services Facility.
• Cherryessa Farm (Carriers of the Vine) @0300 – 3:00 A.M.
  An officer has been killed in the line of duty. He lays dead on the driveway of Cherryessa Farm. Your team is to deploy and clear the strange compound.

Mission Types

Ready or Not currently features five(5) different operational mission styles. The styles are listed below:

• Barricaded Suspects – Normal Difficulty
  Your team’s number one priority is rescuing civilians, and detaining suspects. Rules of engagement are strict. Don’t kill unless an officer or a civilian is threatened.
• Raid – Hard Difficulty
  The suspects are highly dangerous. They will not be so easy to give up, and your ROE has been loosened as a result. Prepare for long engagements and a lot of firefights. Practice well beforehand.
• Active Shooter – Hard Difficulty
  A gunman roams the halls, hunting down civilians and killing them in an insane frenzy. Take this threat out before too many innocent lives are lost.
• Bomb Threat – Very Hard Difficulty
  A bomb threat has been called in. Highest priority is disabling the explosives before the time runs out. Second highest priority is rescuing all of the civilians and taking out the suspects. Good luck, you’ll need it.
• Hostage Rescue – Insane Difficulty
  Suspects have taken a room of civilians hostage. It’s up to you to locate them quietly, establish a strategy, and execute quickly. The lives of innocent people depend on you.

NOTE: Not all mission types above are currently available for each location described above. The only location where all mission types are available is the 4U Gas Station

Operation Preparation

Before entering any operation, it is crucial that you are dressed for the mission type selected. There are currently two locations to customize your officer and gear at.

The first location is the Locker Room to the right of the Ready Room area.

The second location is down the stairs to the left of the Ready Room on the first red carpet before the Shooting Range

Equipment

Once inside either the Locker Room or Downstairs Loadout customization menus, you will be greeted with your officer previewing the gear you selected for his/her operation.

Within this menu, you are able to adjust your officer’s Primary and Secondary weapons, as well as his Long Tactical equipment, Gear (Armor and Facewear), Grenades, and additional tactical devices.

To customize your weapons, visit the bench to the left of the downstairs Equipment Locker.

Primary Weapons

The Primary Weapon is the primary(duh) weapon you will be using for your operation. When selecting your weapons, your selection is important as each weapon has different capabilities in terms of lethality, penetration, ammo types, and more.

Below you will find the real-world applicable ballistics for each weapon, which have been well simulated by VOID Interactive.
