Ready or Not News

Attention Officers,

Welcome to the 41st edition of our biweekly newsletter! This newsletter will be showing off something quite exciting!

To start off, we’d like to announce the integration of the mod.io platform into Ready or Not. Starting October 18th you’ll be able to download and remove mods at the click of a button!

This may come as a surprise to many members of the community, as we have said that we would bring Steam Workshop functionality in the past. However, given how under-performing the system is, we’ve decided to instead adopt mod.io. Just like the Nexus Mods and Steam Workshop users will not be limited in what they can upload to the mod.io page, with the obvious exceptions being obscene or unsuitable content.

The adoption of mod.io will allow direct integration with Ready or Not, giving users the ability to search through and download mods from inside the game itself, instead of having to open up the Steam Workshop or download via a third-party website. It will also offer the most flexibility going forward as we make updates to how we support modders and as Mod.io continues to update and add more functionality to their platform!

We’ve worked with both Modders and the Ready or Mod Discord team to ensure that the concerns of the modding community are met, currently we are testing the implementation of Mod.io with just map mods!

As we update both the game and our support with mod.io, we will extend compatibility to all of the weapon and skin replacers that the community has come to enjoy!



At the moment you can download skin, weapon, and attachment replacer mods via mod.io, however they need to be extracted from their folder in [C:\Users\Public\mod.io\3791\mods] to [steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Content\Paks]

[h3]Attention Officers, [/h3]

Welcome to our 40th edition of our biweekly newsletter! This week we’ll be giving our community a break from maps and suspects, we instead take a look at the new firearms to be added to the departments armory coming in the next update.

[h3]Armory Expansion[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
The first new weapon is the SPC, an addition to the games roster of SMGs whose claim to fame is its prodigious rate of fire of up to 1,100 rounds per minute. Any officers that choose to bring the SPC out into the field will have to practice careful trigger discipline and target acquisition if they want their ammunition to last throughout the entire engagement.


[hr][/hr]
Next comes the M11 Compact, it stands alongside the P92X and G19 as another long time workhorse of multiple law enforcement agencies. Chambered in the ever-reliable 9mm, the clean lines of the M11 will fit in among the pre-existing roster of wonder 9s.


[hr][/hr]
An upgrade to a classic, next we have the MK18 whose brand new model will be replacing the legacy M4A1 model so that we can maintain a consistent look and feel for all of our weapons going forward.


[hr][/hr]
Lastly we have a weapon that’s been heavily requested, the MP7. Being the first firearm in the PDW category, the MP7 brings a unique combination of capabilities between its’ armor piercing capability afforded by its 4.6mm round and high rate of fire that every entry team would love to have at their side.

Welcome to the 5th in our series of monthly newsletters dedicated entirely to community creations and contributions to Ready or Not, we’ll be focusing on popular, particularly well made, and unique mods to augment your gameplay!

Community Spotlight – Mods of the Month

1.) G36C Full Carry handle by Unselles

Starting off with the smallest mod of the bunch, both referring to the size of the mod and the change, is the G36C Classic Carry Handle mod which does exactly what it says on the tin. Though the G36C in its unmodified form isn’t as unique as it looks, the half-rail setup even appearing in HKs official advertisements, it’s vast under-representation means that the casual firearm enthusiast would feel the stock version is out of place.

2.) Howa Type 20 by Ballistic

Moving on to a section of the world that is very under-represented in the world of firearms, we have the near-future service rifle for the JGSDF produced by Howa, a domestic arms company in Japan. The Type 20 brings a familiar Masada-like aesthetic to the table while being different enough to stand on its own among the American and German offerings ingame.

https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/1763



3.) SIG MCX Virtus by MarkHood

Both the bigger and younger brother of the SIG MCX, upgrading from 9mm to 5.56 and bringing the increase in armor piercing capabilities that upgrade entails to the platform. Replacing the GA416, the well made model does not seem out of place next to the array of stock guns in-game.

Editors Choice

4.) IWI Jericho 941 by Jin

Shamelessly plugging one of my favorite real steel handguns and what is arguably an iconic pop-culture firearm, we have the Jericho that takes the slot of the venerable M9 in-game.

Closing

Going forward we can’t wait to see what else the community brings to the table as we update the game and give modders more functionality to play with and improve their own works.

Attention Officers,

Welcome to our 39th edition of our biweekly newsletter! This time around we will be showing new developments in our upcoming level, Data Center. Our level designers and artists have been working hard to add new creative aspects to make this level a force to be reckoned with. We are excited to share these updates with our supporters!
[hr][/hr]
Encrypted Crime

The data storage facility featured in our new level, Data Center, is one of the last remaining centers still operating for Mindjot, a company that provides the online outsourcing of trade workers to workforces within Los Suenos. Mindjot was formerly known for being a platform where people can voice their opinions anonymously, avoiding punishment from the police and public.

Due to the lack of socio economic stability in Los Suenos, Mindjot quickly grew in necessity; at one point responsible for facilitating outsource work for almost half of the city's developmental projects. Another key factor to success was Mindjot’s utilization of crypto currency, which proved to be an advantage when the value of the dollar was wavering.

Above: You know, for a dirty company, their lobby is kept surprisingly clean.

Their success took a turn for the worst as larger companies began to lobby for industry change. A once strong respectable company became a mere joke overnight. Following the collapse, Mindjot turned once again into a hub for the anonymous illegal trade of various listings.

Above: The claustrophobic racks will make any gunfights long and dangerous. Liberal use of flashbangs is advised and will keep collateral to a minimum.

Above: Humming server racks and rumbling HVAC makes pinpointing suspects locations a bit difficult.
[hr][/hr]
The Los Suenos Criminal Investigation Division has found evidence of prostituation, trafficking, and exploitation within Mindjots online servers and employees, specifically the security guards. The individual identity of these users has proven to be difficult to identity due to the extensive use of VPN’s. Following the conviction of a pedophile, investigators were able to link the distribution of explicit child pornography to Mindjot.

Above: Outside of the pristine front desk and server rooms, the cracks start to show.

Above: One has to wonder if the employees know what sort of data they’re managing.

Above: The rooms tend to blend together, though if you look closely, it’s easy to keep track of where you’ve been.

Conclusion

This concludes our 39th biweekly briefing, taking a deeper look into the criminal activity happening within one of Ready or Not’s future levels: Data Center! Be sure to tune in next time for more development news!

Attention Officers,

Welcome to our 38th edition of our biweekly newsletter! Today we will be showing a first look into one of our future levels, Agency! Vol. 34 Development update introduced the prime suspect of this level, George Brixley, owner and main agent of Brixley Talent Time.

The Row

The Row is one of the poorest areas in Los Suenos and is often avoided by the general public. Months of trash accumulates on the curbs, clothes hang from windows waiting to be stained with the smell of smoke, and makeshift tents of the homeless litter the sidewalks. Meanwhile, Brixley Talent Time looms right in the middle of it.

Above: The choking smog leaves inhabitants wondering what they’re exactly “worthy” of.

Above: Life finds a way even in the harshest environments.

Above: You can’t walk the streets of the Row without seeing Police cars posted at every alley.

[hr][/hr]
Brixley’s Playground

Brixley Talent Time is a filthy place, disgustingly decorated with childrens toys, clothing, and photographs. Used as a front for talent scouting, this place is a breeding ground for sexual assault, pornography, and financial abuse.

Above: It’s highly unlikely Brixley invested in a washer and dryer - or a janitor.

Approach with caution, as Brixley may not be acting alone in his repulsive schemes. He has a lot to lose and a prison cell for life if captured. That man has a face you could see in your nightmares, a challenge for even a mother to love.

Above: I don’t envy the investigator that has to catalog all those photos.

Above: The locks on these bathroom doors wouldn't make anyone feel safer.
