What are the best loadouts in Ready or Not?

[@21scavage]

Calling this an underfunded swat team is crazy. I’ve never seen a swat team with an independent mesh network ISR system that uses the ATAK system, streaming helmet cam, and MPU-5s. That set up for a 5 man team is easily over $700,000.

You aren't exaggerating when you say wedges are one of the most important pieces of equipment. If you wedge the right doors, you're funneling the enemy into the areas you choose and denying them access to others, and now you're dictating when and where the engagement will happen - or at least where it won't. Of course there are some maps (Dealership, for example) that are just too open for them to be useful, or others (Modeling Agency) where engagements happen so close that you might not get a door wedged before someone comes through it.

MP5/10 (FMJ) and semi auto shotgun (buckshot) are the best primaries in the game because they have so much damage that even high armored targets are destroyed within half a second And not insane recoil SA58 is a honorable mention but you actually do need to kinda try to deal with the recoil

[@kartoitska8944]

I personally really like the new LVAR and the G36. Though slugged shotguns are also really strong now. The upside for me for the LVAR is that it's both short and surpressed, which allows me to tell apart shots from enemies and those from teammates. Which may sound strange but it has come in useful for me in certain situations. As for AI teammates, I have discovered that they really love to magdump once they see an enemy at medium or longer range. So for Hide and Seek I would advise giving them a little extra ammo.

[@dubyas1989]

That’s the biggest plus for the suppressed weapons for me, you can tell who’s shooting, mostly.

[@magnusred2945]

Yeah I use the LVAR

[@civilianuseonly]

One of the biggest advantages to using a suppressor

[@lespacecowboy]

I typically run the LVAR as well. It's really well rounded and has the benefit of being CQB sized while being suppressed. I was running the MCX suppressed but it added too much length to be as efective as i would have liked. Sometimes, however, a shotgun is the way to go. I found that during Ides of March (the penthouse level), a shotgun with buckshot was highly effective since there were overall fewer civilians and some tight spaces that benefited from a little shot spread.

[@MajorCinnamonBuns]

Shotguns are insane and I don't use anything else. It 1 taps everything at any range with buckshot. With AI being so cracked, that 1 shot vs 3-5 rifle shots can make all the difference. Also stab vest with 4 'mags' and like 10 CS grenades+CS launcher is all you need to S rank every map. Just listen for noise and start gassing. Way better than flash bangs because it works through cover and doors and keeps them from drawing handguns/knives when cuffing.

[@kylemutz6180]

The G36-C surprised me when I first used it, I loved how small it was and how effective it is at controlling short full-auto bursts. Its super easy for me to throw on as much armor as I can and pack a bunch of hollow point mags and just hold W with that gun.

[@LtSprinkulz]

You missed one thing about ceramic. It blocks ALL damage, but once it breaks you might as well be wearing no armor at all, but you still take the movement speed penalty. It's best for short engagements, with relatively few suspects that are heavily armed like Brisa Cove and Clemente Hotel. For longer maps like Cherryessa Farm, Hospital, or Port Hokan you should probably take steel even though you're going to take more damage when shot. It stays active for the whole mission.

[@HyperTracked]

It can still cause bleed, every armor plate will always get bleed atleast once

[@LtSprinkulz]

@@HyperTracked Yeah bleed as a mechanic seems to work on a different damage threshold than health does. It's weird.

[@Azra_Fox]

It's worth noting that detonating traps in any way negates some points you get at the end because you didn't disarm them

[@darkySp]

I had a feeling you'd need to do that for maximum score when I first played Ides of March! I can totally imagine that clearing the suspects out and not having the traps disarmed will prove a huge risk to civilians or clean up crews after the mission end, so I went around once more, opening every door to make sure the traps were defused. I had no idea that was an actual thing with the score, I just made the assumption and never checked it for myself. I love this game!

[@openthinker6562]

Fun fact: You can actually kick open tripwired doors so long as you do so from the side where the bomb is. Because technically, since the door swings the other way, you won't trip the wire with the door, nor will the kick be registered by the wire unless you step into it. Source: I was trying to disarm a bomb from the side it was on, and accidentally full-sent kicked the door open, and didn't trip it 😆

to save anyone time with what weapons to use, the 2 best feeling ARs are the F90 and MK18, if your looking for something different with good pen that also feels amazing to shoot, MP7 is nice.

[@antoniohagopian213]

AK every day AK all the day

[@dunadan7136]

Weapon to use depends on map tbh In postal and port levels, SA58 is GOAT because you can one shot kill at range. And for the tougher maps with a lot of close combat (which is actually quite a lot of them), you actually want something like the M1014. And the Mk 18 is nice, but the G36C has lower recoil. Lower fire rate on full auto though, so the Mk 18 is the better room broom.

[@Enter-wl3zf]

I disagree about the F90 - too much horizontal bounce. I‘d rather take the HK416 or G36, well actually most other assault rifles.

[@heybimo]

I just got off a coop game on Coyote map, couldn't have brought worse gun (SR16 modded as Daniels Defense rifle) into the tunnel because I wanted to pretend to be Josh Brolin in Sicario in the tunnel and Alejandro's gear got called dib by someone else already. And I couldn't believe I didn't have my gun stuck once the entire firefight. Informative as usual, but I will have to thank you especially for making this one in particular. I bought my da who's a fan of Rainbow Six Raven Shield since RON 1.0 finally came out which I figured he could fiddle around in free time as there's "capable AIs" now. He told me he's been trying to learn how to play the game but got kinda overwhelmed. This will sum up the basics for him nicely. Also he likes your MP5 video when I was showing off the game to him 👍 PS: I haven't rigorously tested the game yet since I just got back into it for a few days. I felt they made the weapon recoils more and especially on the move by a bit. AP rounds against unarmored targets seems less effective by a margin just stopping-power wise, gonna give JHP a shot when playing on predominantly unarmored target maps. It's just a feeling, not fact.

[@civilianuseonly]

Awesome, I hope he enjoys! I need to play Raven Shield again sometime

[@heybimo]

​@@civilianuseonly I quite enjoy pre-planned and elements' agency aspect of the game since for me, Ready or Not either renders me too active or passive in a moment with all the handholding you have to do with AIs on site and in your line of sight, either you lead them to do something or have them follow your lead. Raven Shield could be set up with 3 elements: set 2 elements of AIs to execute the mission while you can have one AI tag along you to do your own thing from pre-planning. RON seems unlikely suitable for that kind of design since the maps and gameplay are different enough and too dynamic. I might give it a go after I'm done with RON campaign if by that time modders haven't remade all the maps from Raven Shield.

[@compromisedreality8827]

Something I'd love to see is an actual stat menu for the different guns. When you're looking in the armory, every gun just feels the same, just looking different, but it'd be nice to actually see the damage/recoil/accuracy/etc. of each weapon, instead of having to choose a gun, walk to the gun range, and test each one out.

@@VoodooActual Yea, but it still sucks that it can be so inconsistent. My friend and I spent hours testing different armor and weapons by shooting at each other in different places (front, back, sides) to see how many shots it takes to kill you. We found out that Light and Heavy are exactly the same, the only difference being Heavy also protects your sides (so Light + Full coverage is literally useless as it does nothing but the game still lets you pick it, as well as some other useless combinations...). We then switched to ARs and noticed that the rifle I had takes 1 less shot to kill compared to the one my friend had.

[@mattandrews8528]

@@17MrLeon Why wouldn’t you? Ya aren’t acquainted with the round I see. So I’m about to give ya a whole long rundown ya either won’t read at all or you’ll thank me for. I’m not trying to talk down here just purely to educate ya on my favorite cartridge. It’s absolutely one of, if not THE, most important small arms developments so far in the 21st century. Sig might disagree with their new 6.8/.277 Fury round with its hybrid steel brass high pressure case. But anyways, ask yourself this, why is 5.56 hindered in a short barrel? Well the 10.3 mk 18 length is as short as anyone should take the 5.56, with its rifle powder, carbine length gas system, extra flash at the muzzle, and loss of velocity from short setups you can only get an AR like setup so short. Now suppressed short barreled pistol calibers setups like the MP5 and others have been a mainstay of SWAT/Special Forces around the globe for a few decades now, and they still work. But .300blk changed the game. It’s essentially a 5.56 cartridge shortened and widened to accept both 7.62 long heavy subsonic rounds up to 200ish grn as well as light supersonic rounds like the 110gr Vmax. Very important to note the .300blk uses pistol powder. If you don’t yet know there’s a big difference in the burn rate as well as pressure buildup when comparing certain rifle and pistol powders, the way rifle powder burns means you get good velocity and maximum burn/pressure from well using long rifle length barrels around 20in. The gas hole on a barrel is made at a certain length to tap gasses depending on how long you’ll have it and what you’ll use it for. If you were to set up an AR to be a .300blk build vs a 5.56 one you’d set it up with a pistol length gas rod and a barrel preferably no longer than 10in because you get peak burn of the powder at 9in, however from 5-10in it’s still in its preferred range of barrel lengths for performance. You absolutely could not run a suppressed 5.56 at under 10in and get good ballistic performance. However a weakened 5.56 would hit harder than a 9mm right? Sure but the flash at the muzzle would make it impossible to use under night vision, subsonic 5.56 just doesn’t have enough mass either. So having zero flash is a huge reason to switch to a short barreled .300blk over 5.56, you can’t get a 5.56 as compact, you don’t have nearly the subsonic options that .300blk does, you’ll hit over twice as hard compared to say 9mm or even 10mm. The joint Sig/Dod program first called the LVAW (Low Visibility Assault Weapon) was what conceived the Rattler as we know it, it then became known as the RSAR (Reduced Signatyre Assault Rifle) but it’s still the same thing. They took the standard MCX which with its bufferless setup a short stroke piston system which was already a step above the standard DI AR and gave it a 5.5in .300blk barrel and a widened handguard that would house their laser sintered SL series of flowthrough suppressors inside. The main point of the program was to reduce gas blowback when suppressed to the shooter’s face by over 80% and to ensure there’s no flash that would interfere with night vision. So the .300blk MCX LVAW is just absolutely superior to everything else on the planet when it comes to CQB work, the mk18, mp5, etc just doesn’t come close to its effectiveness. I’ve put together my own MCX Rattler LVAW type build and it’s my favorite setup by far, I went with the SL-X Inconel version of the “3D printed” laser sintered can and I absolutely love it.

You forgot to say that ceramic armor breaks VERY fast, while kevlar and steel almost never break. Ceramic might be the "perfect" middle ground, after one, maybe two shootouts, you don't have any armor left :)

[@ST4X-0N-ST4X]

Irl steel takes way more hits and also transfers energy over the chest more evenly lessing the effect of the hit on your mostly liquid body.

Really good video man! However, I was hoping you'd touch on the beanbag shotgun vs the paintball guns.

Going with subs' and using AP lets you arm / shoulder shoot hostiles and most of the time make them surrender. Same with JHP rounds and body armor. You can hit them center mass and they sometimes will surrender. Neat mechanic.

[@czarnywilkgaming8255]

I'm squad lead, I'm always leading my team, going first on hallways etc. only when entering the room shield is going in first. I play with light vest, kevlar plates, nvg and MK18 most of the time, this is why I always avoid exposing myself as much as I can. I like option to move pretty fast and have more equipment on myself. We are doing pretty fine, I just have to use alot of alt to look out slightly and light loadout goes pretty well then

[@X4Alpha4X]

I've used the MP7 with HP ammo on every mission and never once felt like my gun was under powered. I also run a visible laser and hip fire on full auto 80% of the time. It doesn't matter if they're wearing armor when they get 6 rounds their face in a 1/4 second. I aim center mass and let the recoil guide into their face. I can usually get 2, maybe 3 people per mag that way.

[@DarkZerol]

The MP7 is very much OP in this game. Easy handling, almost non-existing recoil, excellent stopping power and 40 rounds per mag for an SMG is insane.

[@Tenmo8life]

The non suppressed *MP7* is an underrated gun. Its short af and melts fullarmored and unarmored targets in CQB. Super fun time. The rest of the SMGs are very underwhelming, Used to love the 10mm Mp5, but feels like they nerfed it against armored targets☹️

[@nukesRus123]

[@MangoMonster2007]

@@nukesRus123 p90 is my shield backup

[@JeremyB897]

Yeah i also use the MP7 on one of my presets it really is an underrated gun has no recoil and kills Suspects pretty fast.

[@darkySp]

Another thing with the MP7 is that it shoots the 5.7 cartridge which is already an armor-piercing bullet. So if you shoot AP only, you get insane overpenetration with it, meaning that you can incapacitate more than you end up killing. If the target is armored, it takes a bit more to take them down. But soft targets always get incapacitated, unless you full-auto them which I never do.

[@Tenmo8life]

@@darkySp Brother, i hate to break it too you, but the MP7, does not run the 5.7 x 28mm cartridge. It is chambered in 4.6 x 30mm nato. *bro really did his research before putting down a comment* 💀

[@kazuhikoriku]

I’ve just recently got the game and tried out some different guns and I really find that the G36 or MP9 and for secondary the five seven. I haven’t progressed too far yet but I often find it nice when playing with the AI to use the breach shotgun and CS gas. So I might try some other stuff out but I’ve really really enjoyed playing with those guns so far and maybe I’ll change it up if some friends get the game

[@mr.mrs.thickness]

Great video dude

[@6467faith]

Wedges are so important to me that I literally have 1 of my squad mates as a dedicated "Wedge Guy." Ammo for his primary and 5-6 Wedges in his loadout, that's it.

[@justkasumi8555]

actually an important tip, 1 wedge count = 2 per tick. so you're making him carry around 10-12 in reality. if you don't reaaallly need that many it helps to have him carry an extra nade or secondary mags so he doesn't drop from low ammo

[@milat9287]

What do you do if he gets beefed in an unfortunate encounter though? Something triggered someone behind the door and he was shot dead or some such

[@finemLudum]

Amazing video and great information, time to subscribe.

[@RazorNLD]

I prefer to use the BCM or GA416. The AWCR is a great support gun to use aswell. USP as my standard offhand because of the more stronger caliber. The G19 only when against light armored or no armored suspects, as the G19 isn't the strongest pistol in the game. I used to run the M4 back in the early days because it was just a laser. Plus it had +5 extra bullets, which was really great to have. I had it mod to the L119A2. The SR-16 is one of the most less recoil rifle in the game. It's really unique, so that's why I had it mod to the more smaller SR-15 M-LOK version. It worked beautifully.

[@antoniohagopian213]

You are so wrong, the sr16 is has the second highest amount of recoil after the ga416. I didn't bother trying the "new" guns but they didn't change anything about how those 2 handle.

[@_AceInTheHole_]

A question that I have is what sort of setup I should use if I don't want to kill the suspects, and what tactics should be used in that case?

[@JohnCraftable]

From what I can tell, steel only affects your starting movement speed, you appear to actually move at the same top speed as all the other armors, but the armor seems to only affect your initial movement. From my observations, kevlar allows you to move and change direction pretty much instantly, ceramic still allows you to move and change direction pretty fast but you can tell that there is a slight delay, and steel has a very obvious delay in movement and changing direction, other than that, they all seem to have to same top speed once you actually get up to speed.

[@Theziz8]

Honestly I'd say just choose what feels best for you. For me it's the MK18 or GA416, I don't feel comfortable with any other rifles.

[@IvanTaran1]

[@kitkattaktik]

Few things missed in the video: 1. People undervalue the use of SFMB + ASR muzzle brakes, each having its use but ASR in my opinion being better because of its superior recoil reduction. You can combine the ASR brake with either a Combat Grip or Tactical Foregrip to make the recoil much more controllable on any rifle (lowest recoil rifle I have found with that combination of attachments is the G36C) 2. Gas masks also protect you from the pepper clouds that the Non-Lethal Pepperball Rifle and SMG create when firing at a wall or at a suspect. 3. (This I have not tested, but definitely shouldn't overlook this) Heavy armor does not protect the groin, that is only a visual and cosmetic change of the armor your choose from customization, because the true area of what is protected by armor is only shown on the bottom left of the screen as the white areas of armor. It seems like even if visually you have a light vest and no shoulder pads for the armor, you can still equip heavy armor as the item not cosmetic and be protected from the shoulders.

[@ShawnHinck]

I definitely wouldn’t say its style is unique, it’s just not normal. The SWAT series in the late 90’s and early 2000’s definitely had this element. And definitely not underfunded 😂
