I agree there is a disconnect between the gear you have vs how they're meant to be portrayed- however, devs have stated they intended for the SWAT team in this game to appear underfunded

i mean, you are right, but most swat teams would have access to a shit ton of snipers and not have to plan out their assault on their own.

Quad nods for 5 guys is $200,000…

It’s more under funded In that most missions in the game would never be given to just 5 dudes. Postal service and sinuous for example would require 2 or 3 elements irl

@@callummcgovan8963agreed, the meth house for example or even the hotel, they would never realistically send in just 1 team. But after you bring order to chaos NPC’s from another swat team will come to the scene and pick up the detained suspects and put them outside so that then kinda contradicts itselr with the fact there’s another team on scene

I've noticed that especially on the Talent Agency. I end up strictly running CS now as it always stuns with a large aoe, and then stingers since you only have to step out of the way but even those have been iffy like flashbangs

Yup thats why i almost never take them alive only when they survive the shots. Its honestly annoying how the ai behaves and i was thinking that they would have fixed it in 1.0. But they havent so i still resort to just shooting on sight

Try c2 than a flashbang, workks for me 😊

@@Lowlander-ci7is sometimes the c2 kills them, I've been trying to use it less. But it's certainly the most fun way to enter.

@@sHoRtBuSseR c2 knocks them down and it appears they are dead (like, it says "dead"), but when you restrain them they get up into kneeling and give the full amount of points. I use c2 a lot and have never seen it actually kill someone, even when they are standing directly behind the door.

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

@@whyareusobad3528 Yeah, I like running the 1301 with slugs a lot, 90% of the time it 1-shots even armored guys out to medium distance. As far as the SA58, I love it, but it's seems a little inferior to the SLR47 in terms of follow up shots vs damage. For automatic fire I usually run MP5, G36, ARN-18, and a few others.

@@CertifiedSunset never used the SLR(if that’s the AK ) because it looks so goofy in the game being such a tiny little guy But yea SA58 shreds just a lot of recoil and slow ROF But I’ve looked through every comment on this video NOBODY is giving any love to the 10mm MP5 unless it goes by a different name But it’s SO GOOD (haven’t played in a bit)

@@whyareusobad3528 The 10mm MP5A3 is really good, back in the Adam Update (before 1.0) the 10mm MP5A3 had less recoil too from my recollection. Though I've had no issue using the 9mm version even for armored guys if I'm using AP rounds. But the recoil is so minor that it's easy to put 2-3 rounds on a head before recoil throws you off.

@@CertifiedSunset makes sense I haven’t played for a long time way before 1.0 existed and is there now AP? Or just FMJ And hollow

Spalling is a real danger. It's also incredibly funny with friends

Imagine playing hardcore and you lose a teammate to that. You took the hit and they died lol.

I've killed myself from shooting certain things too close to me, where the bullet comes right back and kills me somehow

I keep it in every loadout. I don't think there's been a map where I haven't used them yet.

It's too good in pre 1.0 that sometimes we ran "no wedges" challenge. In 1.0, yeah .... I'd rather carry one less main gun mag so I could pack enough wedges along with other gears.

SWAT 4 taught me that if you wanna win, you do it by using wedges. No question.

Postal Facility: Wedge all the doors so the only way out of the sorting are is through the garage door, retrace steps, clear outside, and lure every other enemy on the map through the garage doors. Ez A

How I beat Brisa cove. Just went along the outside, and told blue team to jam all 4 exterior doors into the rooms. Cleared laundry and center and then I got to choose how I cleared every room

You aren’t just feeling it, that’s literally what’s happening, they messed up and over tuned the AI to near first release alpha, which if you don’t know, would aimbot headshot you 3x as worse as they do now. The AI also will shoot you through walls with their X-ray aimbot. If you wanna do your Ironman run, wait till they patch and nerf their ai

Yeah they somehow fucked up the enemy AI accidently it seems. Their reaction times are literally back to 100ms when alerted and they will kill you and rush you with accuracy across the entire map

It shouldn't be needed, it should just be tuned down, but quickly after the 1.0 release there are some mods that make the suspect AI more manageable. "No crack for AI" combined with "Gunfighter Gameplay Improvement" makes for a much more enjoyable experience, seems by the number of downloads between the two that a lot of people agree. The AI is absolutely insane at the moment.

They have a mod on nexus that helps with the unrealistic AI if you wanna check that out.

They've said a hotfix is coming, hopefully it's soon

And you can kill civilians without point deduction

well, kinda, C2 is the just a slightly modified version of the same explosive, C4 is just a more powerful (and more stable) version of it

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

Yeah I use the LVAR

One of the biggest advantages to using a suppressor

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.

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.

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!

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 😆

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

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

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

​@@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.

I'd like to see that too. So far, we haven't had any of those numbers available

I disagree. Without it is more realistic, since we wouldn’t have anything like stats in real life

Seeing stats like that would make it more arcade-y I mean in real life a 5.56 round is a 5.56 round, it's gonna suck getting hit by it regardless of what barrel it comes out of

@@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. They seemingly had the same caliber (even that isn't stated anywhere tbh) so it's frustrating to not know why some weapons perform better.

@@sTeadFasT96 Makes 0 sense. Wikipedia any major weapon or common caliber and you have a literal stat card.

Correct, should have specified

AK every day AK all the day

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.

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

I would rather have the MCX Virtus, but It'll do

LVAR is literally the MCX but integrated suppresor. You get the same benefits of the MCX, but in 300 Blackout and almost identical barrel lengths.

@@jooper5944 why would you want 300blackout?

@@17MrLeon.300BLK has better stopping power than 5.56 and is subsonic, hence the LVAR being able to be so short and have stopping power. Size of an SMG with the power of a battle rifle is huge.

@@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.

@@Corioli There is a mod that restores the carry handle for the G36 :)

Do one of the harder missions where the AI is heavily armed and wears body armor some of the ai will tak 6-7 rounds of 4.6 to the chest and still walk away

I absolutely LOVE the MP7 (in other games as well, not just in RoN), the low recoil, fast firerate, and decent penetration is incredible. the P90, Kriss Vector, MP5, and Uzi are all incredible guns in about any game i've seen them in.

Already encountered them, it just shreds, high penetration paired with very high ROF seems to defeat any armor

@@R3dShiftthe mp5 10mm is better then the MP7 for what I’ve seen your getting more recoil but it’s worth it IMO

It’s even worse that every enemy npc is like a Muslim extremist, they simply won’t surrender. I remember on the gas station map, we had one last dude in a room, and we all threw 3 flash bangs, 2 gas grenades, 2 dudes with a taser, and the other two with beanbag shotgun. He ignored it all until we accidentally killed him with a beanbag headshot.

Throw in the hk m320 gas grenade launcher as the long tactical and you are true German

Even that is being generous with Ready or Not's AI, the way their morale system works is severely fucked. In SWAT 4 its relatively easy to get a suspect to surrender, they're human after all. In Ready or Not you can hit someone with a flash, spam them with pepper balls, fire one or two pistol rounds into their chest and they will just keep walking away basically forcing you to shoot them because if you don't as soon as their "stunned" timer is over they are instantly going to 180 snap back to you and aimbot you.

@@CecilioSprayetti Exactly! and them being so hostile means your ai teammates will blast them to space regardless if they’re stunned or not which ruins arrest objectives

​@@Pepps- and also locks you from getting an S rank in a missions. Devs should seriously rework the ai to be less deathwishing, it's also pretty much impossible to make suspect surrender without non lethal guns or deployables when realistically, most thugs would just piss themselves the second they see swat.

I had to resort to installing the No Crack mod which tames the ai. It makes the first few missions trivial but after that it remains consistent with suspects like in brista cove where they will shoot first if given the chance, but surrender if you C2 breach + gas your way into a room.

I've had suspects surrender in ready or not only to pull out a knife and stab me...

Also I find the P90 armour penetration cartridges great for not killing a suspect

Hope you enjoy!

@@civilianuseonly If you have any other tips, please make more videos. I share it to other RoN players

Your team shouldn't be that close, they are blocking your escape route when doing so. Therefore it is not a issue.

G36 remains one of my favorites

Indeed, a very satisfying option for sure!@@civilianuseonly

P90 go brrrrrrrrrr

@@nukesRus123 p90 is my shield backup

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.

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.

@@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* 💀

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.

Sorry to be that guy but if your armor breaks it means you've been playing like a fool

@@sigma_frenchie4075 most of the time the suspects shoot anywhere but the armor tho Lol sure you can avoid getting hit but the way the ai is rn its funneling into a rather lame ass playstyle

@@satorumayokohama1133 honestly yeah, you should grab yourself a mod that fixes the AI

i´ve been contemplating on doing so but wanted to S rank the more annoying missions as a challenge but with this Ai i dont know if i want to anymore@@sigma_frenchie4075

I plan on covering these, but they're so different I think they deserve their own video. Additionally, it seems the pepperball is potentially bugged right now

@@civilianuseonly _if_ they _are_ bugged, it would explain why I'm struggling so much to complete missions non-lethally. But yeah, I'd for one really appreciate a video on those!✊🏻

you should use the beanbag shotgun, it seems to do a lot better than the peppergun@@msaeedazizi

@@msaeedazizi What does "non-lethal" mean?

@@ChongiFishing that you don't kill anyone

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.

True. Took me like 15 tries to get it done right. Also mindjot

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.

The AK hasn't failed me yet

@@civilianuseonly with a little cia team with jeans and flannel shirt its great. no helmet, small vest.

I didn't realize just how much range the shotgun had, I never used it (as i usually go with the shield or optiwand), but I never thought about using it at a distance, incase the doors were trapped.

I'm wondering how's the damage difference between each of .300blk guns (ARN-180, LVAR, MCX). After 1.0 300.blk used to get a nerf as hell.

The F90 has become one of my favorite guns in the game

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

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
