The best loadout in Ready Or Not, especially when just starting the game.
1. 🎯 Primary Weapon: Assault Rifle (MK18 or GA416)
Why choose it? Both rifles offer excellent handling, moderate recoil, and versatility across close to mid‑range combat—ideal for most maps. The MK18 is particularly praised for its agility and customizable options.
Recommended attachments:
Optic: MICROT2 – balances recoil control with quick aim.
Muzzle: SOCOM suppressor – reduces vertical recoil and conceals muzzle flash.
Underbarrel: Combat grip (or vertical grip for rifles like GA416) – helps aim stability.
Overbarrel: M600V flashlight – essential for dark rooms.
Ammo choice: AP rounds are your best bet—they ensure rounds punch through ballistic shields and plated enemies.
2. 🔫 Secondary Weapon: USP45
The USP45 is highly accurate, stable, and reliable in stressful moments.
Attachments:
Obsidian suppressor for stealth.
Laser pointer for quick target acquisition.
Ammo choice: AP rounds are your best bet—they ensure rounds punch through ballistic shields and plated enemies.
3. 🛡 Armor & Protection
Body armor: Heavy ceramic plates (front & back). This setup provides the best balance of survivability and mobility.
Armor carrier type: Ceramic is great “mid-tier”; light kevlar offers speed and can be swapped to stab vest for extra gear slots when needed.
Headwear: Make sure to wear a ballistic mask and Anti-Flash Goggles with your helmet unless you are taking a gas launcher or grenade, then wear a gas mask.
4. ⚙️ Tactical Equipment
Mirrorgun: Must-have tool for safe room entry and scouting.
M320 CS gas launcher: Perfect for subduing multiple suspects and maximizing non-lethal arrests. Remember it equip gas masks for yourself and your team mates!
Grenades + tools: Take flashbangs and C2 for controlled entries, plus a lockpick gun as backup. Wedges can also block doors in preparation for forced entry. When playing singleplayer you can have your AI teammates carry a lot of this gear. In multiplayer make sure someone has breaching charges. Everyone should have at least 2 Stinger or Flashbang grenades. Gas is just as likely to hurt as help you if you do not wear a gas mask, but can be a viable strategy as well.
5. 🎯 S‑Rank Non‑Lethal Loadout Option
Want more non-lethal arrests for S‑Ranks? Here’s a specialized build:
Primary: VPL‑25 gas rifle (CS rounds) or beanbag shotgun.
Secondary: Taser (or USPS .45 AP if lethal backup is needed).
Equip gas masks for both you and your AI team.
This setup achieves more arrests without casualties—perfect for score-focused runs.
6. ⚙️ Tuning Attachments & Gear
Use holosights or red-dot optics (EXPS3).
Add IR lasers for night operations when night vision is optimal.
7. ⚡ Reddit Quick Tips
