How To Unlock Missions In Ready Or Not

Players who progress through Ready or Not will encounter a series of missions and objectives they must complete before progressing into the game. This can cause major frustration, annoyance, and burden on the player who wants to experience different scenarios and missions purely for the enjoyment of the game, not the campaign.

However, most titles will force players to complete their list of missions before unlocking cooler and more enjoyable objectives, forcing the player to continue developing within the title. This article will explain and investigate different ways to unlock missions in Ready or Not, including different approaches players can take to overcome problems they're facing within the game.

How to Unlock All Missions In Ready or Not

If you want to play more experiences within Ready or Not but are struggling, unfortunately, you have no option but to continue to pursue the current mission. Ready or Not functions from player progression. Therefore, there isn't going to be an "easy way out" or cheat code to progress any faster.

However, as mentioned, players can download Ready or Not mods within the base game. The modding system will provide players with new experiences while training them to complete the mission they are possibly struggling with. 

Fortunately, players are provided with all the equipment they need from the beginning of the game, so no player receives any unfair advantage as they progress through the game. Players stuck on the first scenario have the same gadgets and equipment as those who have completed the game. So, get learn and get grinding! 

Modding can benefit struggling players, as the community has come together to build maps that feature training for situations and "vanilla" game scenarios; you can find these mods for free and learn how to download them within this article!

Progression System Explained

The progression system within Ready or Not is basic: complete missions and unlock the next, offering the typical campaign approach of most games. However, how the player engages with each scenario can massively manipulate the progression system. Each mission provides endless approaches and opportunities for players to explore and test, leading to easy or difficult missions depending on how they've analyzed the situation. 

Whether or not players attempt stealthy approaches every raid or simply kick down the front door guns blazing, players will set their own in-game difficulty through the choices they have made and the situations they have thrown themselves within. Each player experiences the same mission, but no two missions are the same due to the level of understanding and planning the individual player will put towards completing a mission. 

The levels in Ready or Not are designed to be highly interactive, unpredictable, realistic, and complex, offering AI that is far superior to games such as Call of Duty, having them behave appropriately to the player's actions and approaches to each situation. The maps and scenarios are built to adapt to every approach you throw at them; however, each course will be slightly better than another, or worse, with the AI adapting to your every move and attempting to sabotage you. 

Mission Types Explained

If you're struggling to progress onto a new mission or scenario, it's likely that you're facing hardship on the task currently being played. That being said, here is a list of all missions types and their overall objectives to clarify how to complete them:

Active Shooting

Players are tasked with swiftly responding to an active shooter scenario and eliminating the threat. They must rapidly evaluate the situation, identify the shooter's whereabouts, and neutralize them to prevent any additional harm, either shooting or arresting the suspects involved in the shooting.

Barricaded Suspect

Players are faced with a situation where a suspect has taken refuge inside a building or room, requiring them to employ their negotiation prowess and tactical abilities to either peacefully resolve the situation or neutralize the threat if circumstances demand it.

Raid

In this mission, players must stealthily infiltrate a location to collect evidence or apprehend a high-value target. They must rely on their stealth and strategic abilities to evade detection and eliminate potential threats. This includes securing non-threats and taking them out of possible combat situations.

Bomb Threat

In this mode of Ready or Not, players are tasked with finding and disabling a bomb before it reaches detonation. They must meticulously scour the surroundings for the bomb, evade traps and obstacles, and successfully disarm the device before the countdown expires.

Hostage Find & Rescue

During these missions, players are required to liberate hostages from a hostile setting while ensuring minimal harm to civilians. This includes neutralizing enemies to reach the hostage, finding the hostage, and finally evacuating them. 

If you're struggling with any maps and scenarios within the early stages of your Ready or Not experience, these explanations should (hopefully) have cleared up how to complete the situation you could currently be facing! 

Game Modes

Players have two choices, playing alone or completing the situation alongside online players. The differences between the two are wild; players are often matched within a team of players with incredibly different skill sets.

If you've been playing online and being carried by an experienced player, you will struggle when facing harder situations alone later down the line. That being said, when playing Ready or Not for the first time, it's recommended you play alone to understand the game and build your skillset and understanding.

Solo Mode

This mode allows the player to progress through the game at their own pace, learning and adapting to different situations and not being "carried" by more experienced players.

Multiplayer Mode

Players can cooperate with others to complete missions and challenges. Although incredibly fun and intense, players often rely heavily on more strong-minded and experienced players to guide them through the scenario. This can be beneficial and non-beneficial, depending on whether or not the player learns from the team.

Mission Summary

First-time players on Ready or Not are often thrown off by the complexity of the AI and the scenarios they experience. This game has been built for realism and strategy. If the AI were easy to kill and players could create vague and easy-to-follow guides, Ready or Not would be as difficult as it is. The sandbox game needs to be difficult to correlate with its end goal. However, after spending more than a few hours in the game and learning the AI system and maps, it's expected players will learn from their mistakes and continue on the future scenarios they are yet to unlock.
