Ready Or Not Promotional Art Release Date: TBA Developer: Void Interactive Platforms: PC Genre: First-Person Shooter

Ready or Not is a upcoming first person shooter being developed by Void Interactive that places the player in the role of leader of a SWAT Team in a "Nondescript Modern America". It has a focus on the singleplayer and coop campaign but is also planned to feature a PVP multiplayer side with an alternate story and game modes. It is considered a spiritual successor to SWAT 4 and original Rainbow Six games.

In 2020, a closed alpha version featuring PVP gameplay was released to the game's backers. In 2021, the game became listed on Steam, and a public Early Access version was released, featuring only singleplayer and co-op modes.

This page currently documents the Early Access version of the game following the January 2022 update. Several weapons were present in the earlier Closed Alpha and Early Access versions that were removed in the current version; their overviews can be found on the talk page.

The following weapons appear in the video game Ready or Not (VG):

Overview

In Ready or Not, the player's equipment and weapons are chosen at a pre-mission startup. The player can carry two firearms, two tactical devices, and multiple grenades. Similar to other games, most notably SWAT 4, the primary weapon slot is reserved for long guns such as rifles, submachine guns, and shotguns, but also pepper ball guns. The secondary slot is reserved for handguns and tasers.

Most firearms that appear have multiple different combination of attachments. They can accept either full metal jacket or hollow point ammunition. Firearms in game have knock-off names to avoid copyright conflicts and some of the in game attachments have slight modifications from their real life counterparts to avoid licensing issues as well.

Handguns

Beretta 92X Performance

The Beretta 92X Performance appears in Ready or Not under the name "P92X". It was added in the January 2022 update, and replaced the Beretta 92FS (see talk page). Unlike its predecessor version, the 92X can mount an optic, despite it not being the RDO version. Quick, simple, effective, the jack of all trades pistol for the SWAT team.

Colt M45A1

The Colt M45A1 appears as a sidearm option in Ready or Not. Heavy set, the M45A1 relies on high power and accuracy over capacity to deal with suspects.

Colt M45A1 Close Quarter Battle Pistol (CQBP) - .45 ACP

Colt Python

The Colt Python appears in Ready or Not as a sidearm, as the largest caliber handgun in the police equipment lineup, as well as being used by certain AI suspects. Powerful, loud and slow on return shots, the Python is good for making one shot count.

FN Five-Seven

The FN Five-seveN appears in Ready or Not as a player weapon. High mag capacity with low power, but good penetration, the FN Five-Seven makes a good backup sidearm for more risky primary options.

Glock 19 (Gen 5)

The Glock 19 Gen 5 appears in Ready or Not under the name G19. It was added in the January 2022 update, replacing the Glock 19 Gen 4 (see talk page). The generic sidearm, good in every aspect.

Polymer80 PFC9

Supporter Edition owners can use the exclusive Polymer80 PFC9 in Ready or Not. There is no difference from the standard Glock aside from appearance.

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical

The Heckler & Koch USP Tactical appears in-game as the "USP Tactical", fitted with a pair of Heinie SlantPro luminous sights. The middle ground between the Glock 19 and the M45A1, this is for dealing with targets in 1-2 shots without worrying about slim mag sizes.

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical - .45 ACP

Submachine Guns

Heckler and Koch MP5A4

The Heckler & Koch MP5A4 appears in Ready or Not, incorrectly named the "MP5A2" despite the Navy A4 trigger pack. It also is occasionally used by AI suspects. The MP5A4 reload animation is missing the notorious "H&K Slap", the SWAT operators instead opting to palm the bolt and drop it down rather than outright smack it. The seemingly boring SMG option, the MP5's controllable full auto fire and 3-round burst make it a perfect low risk scenario choice.

Heckler and Koch UMP45

The Heckler & Koch UMP45 appears in Ready or Not. In a rarely seen bit of realism, the reload of the UMP uses the bolt release instead of most games that use the H&K Slap. With a slow ROF and a high climb rate, the UMP is a powerful piece if you can keep it controlled.

SIG-Sauer MPX

The SIG-Sauer MPX appears in Ready or Not, as the last of the current selectable SMGs in-game, as well as a suspect weapon. Faster reload than the MP5, a little bit smaller but a lot faster, the MPX is a potent piece in the right hands.

SIG-Sauer MPX SBR, Gen 1 - 9x19mm

Shotguns

Shotguns in Ready or Not can use less-lethal beanbag rounds, birdshot, and buckshot.

Benelli M4

The Benelli M4 appears in Ready or Not. A high speed shotgun, the Benelli is good for laying down pellets as fast as possible.

Mossberg 500 Cruiser

The Mossberg 500 Cruiser appears as a tactical device under the name "Breaching Shotgun". Like the name suggests, it's one of the three options for breaching doors, less lethal to the targets of the room than C2 charges, but faster than kicking it down. It's borderline unusable as an actual weapon, as breaching rounds are frangible projectiles that quickly disintegrate after being fired.

Wilson Combat CQB

The Wilson Combat CQB shotgun, a customized Remington Model 870, appears as the "870 CQB". A classic police issue weapon, powerful on light targets and still useful once armor gets involved.

Wilson Combat CQB - 12 gauge

Wilson Combat Less Lethal CQB

The Wilson Combat Less Lethal CQB appears as the "Beanbag Shotgun". While not as fast as either of the pepperball launchers, the Beanbag shotgun incapacitates targets regardless of them wearing a mask.

Assault Rifles

AKMSU

An AKMSU-type tactical AK carbine was added as a SWAT weapon in the January 2022 update, under the name "SLR47" and fitted with a UltiMAK AKS-74U rail, a StormWerkz Scope Mount adapter for the sight, a ALG trigger and a AK-74M folding full-stock. A heavy hitter of a rifle, the AK trades off accuracy in favor of close quarters punch with a surprisingly controllable full-auto.

DSA SA58 OSW

The DSA SA58 OSW battle rifle appears in Ready or Not. It is currently the most powerful weapon for the player to use bar the shotguns, useful for high-risk enviroments with large usage of armor.

FN SCAR-L CQC

The FN SCAR-L CQC is added in the the January 2022 update under the name "MK16", equipped with a Parker Mountain Machine Picatinny Rail Extension and a VLTOR Receiver Extension / Stock Adapter. Powerful, accurate and controllable, a good all-around rifle.

Heckler & Koch HK416

The Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifle appears in Ready or Not. It is modified with a Geissele 10.5" Super Modular Rail handguard, Magpul MBUS Pro sights, Magpul MOE Carbine Stock and a Raptor charging handle. Short but not too short, controllable to boot, the HK416 is a very handy rifle.

Knight's Armament SR-16 CQB

The Knight's Armament SR-16 CQB assault rifle appears in Ready or Not, equipped with Magpul furniture and a set of KAC folding sights. The longest of the main assault rifles, the SR-16 leverages accuracy and controllability to compensate.

Mk 18 Mod 0

The Mk 18 Mod 0 appears in Ready or Not, incorrectly named the "M4A1" appears in-game fitted with a KAC RIS handguard and an LMT Crane stock. Loud, flashy and effective, the M4A1 is a compact rifle for the job.

Mk 18 Mod 0 - 5.56x45mm

Wilson Combat SBR Tactical

The Wilson Combat SBR Tactical assault rifle appears in Ready or Not under the moniker "SBR-300". Quiet when suppressed and very effective against targets, the SBR-300 is a potent tool in the right hands.

Wilson Combat SBR Tactical - 5.56x45mm NATO/.300 Blackout

A SWAT Officer holding an Wilson Combat SBR Tactical, note the telltale markings on the grip and stock.

BCM CQB-11

The BCM CQB-11 appears in Ready or Not, fitted with LMT crane stock and Surefire WARCOMP flash hider. The weapon was formerly an exclusive to Supporter Edition owners, but was made available to all owners in the January 2022 update. It was formerly named "BCM Mk1" when it was an exclusive weapon, and was renamed to "Mk1 Carbine" after the January update.

Grenades

Grenades in Ready or Not take up their own individual slots in the player character's inventory. They can be held in the player's hands until deployment and can be thrown underhanded or overhanded.

M7A3 CS Gas Grenade

The M7 CS gas grenades appears in-game as just the "CS Grenade", although the markings explicitly state it's the A3 version. It releases CS gas, and incapacitates anyone not wearing a gas mask, including you and your teammates.

M84 Stun Grenade

The M84 Stun Grenade is a less-lethal grenade that explodes with a deafening noise and a blinding flash of light.

Model 9590 Stingball

The Model 9590 Sting-Ball Grenade appears in-game as the "Stingball Grenade" and is another selectable throwable for the SWAT team to use. This operates in a similar fashion to a frag grenade, albeit filled with pellets of OC pepper instead of actual lead. While effective in incapacitating targets, or unsuspecting teammates, the grenade is also the most lethal of the three throwables.

Other

VKS

The VKS (Variable Kinetic System) compressed-air launcher by PepperBall (a brand name of United Tactical Systems) is added in the January 2022 update as the "R7 Launcher". While it lacks full-auto like the TAC-700, the VKS's rails allow for a much wider bit of customization.

VKS

TAC 700

The TAC 700, a Tippmann A-5 paintball gun modified into a pepperball gun sold by PepperBall Technologies, Inc., appears as a primary weapon under the name "TAC700". It, like the SWAT 4 "Pepperball Gun" shoots OC filled pepperballs, and with full auto and good controllability is a very effective gun for incapacitating suspects without killing them.

M26 Taser

The M26 Taser makes an appearance in Ready or Not as a less-lethal sidearm option, incapacitating the targets it strikes. The game also features the Taser series' ability to be used as melee weapons by striking targets with its exposed contacts.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM appears in Ready or Not as a suspect weapon. Its appearance in America is odd give the Makarov's more commonly found with collectors in the states than criminal syndicates, although it could allude to the gun's commonality in black markets in places like Asia or England.

AK series rifles

A variety of AK-pattern rifles appear in the game as suspect weapons. While most are simply called AKS-74U by the UI, they seem to include both full stock AK-74s but also a few AKM pattern rifles as well.
