Full Patch Notes
- Enhanced SWAT AI for an immersive and highly responsive NPC tactical team for better real-time mission management
In the endeavor for creating a true sense of realism – the overhaul of the SWAT AI team is a major step towards a more advanced and intuitive team. SWAT teams come with many advanced capabilities and improvements from formations, how they stack up and breach doors, clearing and securing rooms, and other callouts. Additionally, by completing a set number of missions with the same NPC officers in Commander mode, players are able to unlock officer traits. Officer traits are inherent to each NPC officer and provide vital perks to everyone on the team once unlocked.
- Commander Mode: A full, immersive single-player mode offering an insight into the high-stakes reality of SWAT officers.
In Ready or Not’s Commander mode, players take control of the newly appointed commander to the Los Sueños Police Department – David “Judge” Beaumont. In this role, players will be able to compose their team from a large roster of NPC officers, give tactical orders, and meticulously plan each mission. Commanding a team also means checking on your NPC teammate’s mental and physical health between missions. Officers with unaddressed and deteriorating mental health may be unable to properly perform their duties or even feel compelled to quit the force. Incapacitated officers may be temporarily unavailable for missions, or those that succumb to death becoming permanently unavailable.
- 18 single-player or online cooperative missions with up to five players, from hostage situations to bomb threats and more.
Whether this is the first time playing Ready or Not or not, the number of available missions has increased, and most of the prior available missions have been completely overhauled. Resolving a hostage situation with a streamer in his apartment complex, busting a methamphetamine syndicate in an affordable housing project, or handling a scene involving an active shooter on a college campus are just a few of the missions within Los Sueños requiring intervention.
- Dozens of options to customize a player’s entire SWAT team including armor, weapons, apparel, and more.
Players are led further into a realistic and immersive SWAT experience through the weapons and equipment provided for each exceptionally dangerous mission. At launch, this includes 10 new weapon acquisitions. However, customization isn’t limited to the equipment – through close-knit comradery and performing remarkable actions alongside the team, players unlock additional clothes and watches to wear, as well as the tattoos that adorn their player character and NPC characters.
- Full mod support for players looking to explore beyond the missions of Ready or Not.
For the adventurous gamers out there who want to explore the world past what Los Sueños has to offer – Modding (mod.io) is supported by Ready or Not. All the SWAT AI features will work on user created maps – generating all required data the first time playing through a custom map.
