Ready or Not

please suggest an unused sprite with a clock or something

This game is still under active development.
Be aware that any unused content you find may become used or removed in the future. Please only add things to the article that are unlikely to ever be used, or went unused for some time. If they do get used, please remove them from the page and specify in the edit summary!

To do:

  • Document various game mechanics from pre-release trailers/early access builds that weren't delivered in post version 1.0.
  • Compile and add the old school shooting dialogue from the 2020 PvP alpha version.
  • Document and add screenshots of the original uncensored in-game content (such as ability to dismember suspects and civilians after death/incapacitation, nudity and other tweaked sensitive thematic elements that can be seen in the following missions: 23 Megabytes a Second, Twisted Nerve, Valley of the Dolls, A Lethal Obsession, Hide and Seek and Narcos) and compare them between censored version that was added in the Console Launch update on July 15, 2025.

Ready or Not is VOID Interactive's take on the tactical police shooter genre and a spiritual successor to SWAT 4. Unlike SWAT 4, most players would prefer to violate rules of engagement than act like a proper Special Weapons and Tactics team.

Equipment#

Calico M950#

The Calico M950 is a helical-feed handgun that is used by the suspects in the game but unusable by the player.

G19 Simulation#

This G19 variant is one of the two guns that was exclusive to the Training Mode of the game and cannot be used anywhere else. If the game was modified to have the gun appear in your arsenal, it will be displayed as "G19 Simulation" and shares the same icon as the regular G19. Other than having a unique blue slide and frame, the gun stays mostly the same as its standard variant.

G3A3#

The G3A3 is a battle rifle that is used by the suspects in the game but unusable by the player. After the release of the second DLC Dark Waters on October 12, 2024, a modernized G3A3 was added to the game as free side content for players to use featuring a more modernized handguard with the ability to attach grips and tactical devices onto the weapon.

M14#

The M14 is a battle rifle that was featured in the game's reveal trailer, but went unused along with its own set of unique attachments in the final game for unknown reasons. There is a variant of the M14 with a wooden stock that can still be found in a display case near the entrance of the Los Sueños Police Department. after the release of the second DLC Dark Waters on october 12 2024, a modernized m14 was added to the game as free side content for players to use featuring a more modernized handguard with the ability to attach grips and tactical devices onto the weapon

MK18 Simmunition#

This MK18 variant is one of the two guns that was exclusive to the Training Mode of the game and cannot be used anywhere else. If the game was modified to have the gun appear in your arsenal, it will be displayed as "MK18 Simmunition" and shares the same icon as the regular MK18. Other than having a unique blue retractable stock, magazine, item description, and ammo type, the gun stays mostly the same as its standard variant.

Despite the magazine containing 5.56x45mm ammo, the game states that the gun uses 9x19mm instead.

TAC-700#

The TAC-700 is a non-lethal pepperball launcher that was usable during the game's early access phase, it was eventually replaced by the more modern mag-fed VKS pepperball launcher (known in-game as the R7 launcher). However, its model and data still remain in the game even after the official release (version 1.0) and can be selected/usable via modifications.

Mossberg 590 "Entryman"#

The Mossberg 590 "Entryman" originally was a exclusive shotgun made for Supporter Edition owners sharing the skeleton with the Remington 870 CQB in-game. it was first seen in the game's FBI HRT/Supporters Edition trailer being fully usable but later on it was replaced by the reskinned B1301 "Entryman" as the exclusive shotgun made for Supporter Edition owners.
