[tacit gull]

No

[earnest bay]

Oh what's the ETA?

[tacit gull]

Whenever the update comes out, which has no release date at the moment

[earnest bay]

I see. Figures. Thanks 🙂

[copper cypress]

ROE only relaxed in active shooter mode? I currently only have no ROE violations in the elephant level😅

When encountering terrorists or veterans holding LMGs, I have to wait until they are in high ready state before using lethal force…

[unique lava]

technically theyre always 'assumed hostile' because they are active shooters

and never in low ready

[copper cypress]

Oh~

[stone bay]

dumb question here, but how does one know if there laptop can support unreal engine 5 games

[stone bay]

so im good as long as fortnite runs? , thank u thank u

ahhhhk , awesome- im completely clueless when it comes to the technical side of gaming

[silk junco]

doubt

[soft dome]

I've S-Ranked hide and seek 4 times today

That'll do

[stone bay]

Wow

[soft dome]

I'd show the stats screen for each one

But I don't have image permissions

[hot pendant]

Hello I have a question about the door wedges in the game. It seems that occasionally I'm unable to deploy wedges for doors. I'm currently playing on Valley of the Dolls and I prefer to carry wedges and try to deploy them in a few situations but I've noticed that some doors won't allow me to deploy them, it just keeps blinking the symbol that prompts you to deploy a wedge. It doesn't seem to happen on the same doors since when I redo the mission, I won't have any trouble wedging a door that previously was blocked for some reason. Is this a known bug or is there something that may be preventing me from wedging a door that I'm not aware of?

[stone bay]

Post them in #🎨ron-screenshots-and-art

[buoyant pecan]

Man what the hell
I completed The Spider
Non-lethal
Rescued all civilians
Arrested all suspects
No officers died
All that shit
And somehow still didn’t get an S rank?

[shy tulip]

Killed someone by mistake

[rough gale]

is there a difficulty system because im new and I feel like the missions are too easy currently

[unique lava]

or accidentally shot a surrendering suspect w non lethal

[buoyant pecan]

I don’t recall killing anyone
Tho I think I forgot to switch out one of my squad members MP9 to a non lethal lol

[unique lava]

ai is way too trigger happy to trust them w a lethal weapon on a non lethal run

[acoustic ridge]

yes if u want s rank just give then beanbags/pepperballs

[rough gale]

whats free lean cuz i hold left alt and it doesnt do anything

[shy tulip]

Should be alt from my memory, then use a/d

[rough gale]

oh thx

[queen oyster]

how to rest your weapon upward instead of down?

[jolly verge]

in settings, low-ready style

[queen oyster]

Thanks

[simple sphinx]

is there a way to deal with fps being much worse in multiplayer?

[tacit gull]

play with fewer people

Otherwise i dont think so

[unique lava]

i was on an almost perfect S run with lethal weapons on the spider until brixley bled out of his leg after arresting him

[ivory kiln]

[leaden holly]

...DLC when?

[stone bay]

[sharp fox]

if you turn on overhead names, you can see the names of the trailers that come in

[stone bay]

Cool

[dim cliff]

How soon is soon 🤔

[lost inlet]

just

[stone bay]

☝️

[blissful harness]

How hard is S on solo port? I'm trying to get the vest, so I figured I might as well get an S for it.

[jade seal]

not too bad, it's just annoying with some AI surrendering and then shooting in the same phase, Idk if it

[karmic bramble]

it's one of the two hardest in the game (alongside greased palms), be methodical, use beanbag shotguns and cs gas liberally. easier with a team of fellows also trying to s-rank it, elsewise you have to micromanage your ai to prevent them from wandering halfway across the port on a 'move and clear' order

took me about 3-4 hours to s-rank it, got lucky with some spawns

[unique lava]

[rugged fern]

is there anything new in the game

I haven't played since the 1.0

[edgy linden]

C o n t e n t

https://tenor.com/view/dying-hungry-and-thirsty-gif-23833941

[idle dagger]

does paramedic qualification to save the life of an officer prevents from losing the hermit achievement?

[brisk lynx]

I'm doing the postal service map (S), and I have one suspect left, he dropped his weapon, but doesn't surrender. I tried stingers, gas, punching and the pepperballs. Nothing worked. Any idea how to fix this?

[edgy linden]

I'm not sure, some suspects are really, really stubborn. I find using the beanbag better, I have noticed the pepper all ISINT as quick for making suspects surrender.

[unique lava]

thats weird ive never had that happen

[uneven monolith]

Using a taser should also be a pretty good option when they're being super annoying if you happen to bring one with you

[unique lava]

tasers are very very trusty

it actually allows me to capture objectives ALIVE and let them bleed out after detainment because i hit an artery

[uneven monolith]

Oh wow I've never seen that 😆

[unique lava]

10mm may leave them alive but lord forgive me when i see the waterfall of blood coming from their shoulder, thigh and neck consecutively and drop dead 10 seconds after the arrest

[fierce shore]

i dont unerstand the second mission

[jolly owl]

In a nutshell:

We're called to deal with "hostage situation". But if you deal with the thugs outside and the read briefings, it will become evident to you ||that we're essentially SWATing someone. But funny thing is, the suspect was running some illegal data servers on the 2nd floor, and had some pictures of minors near his bed and on his PC.

So unironically, the prank caller was a top g for that.||

[fierce shore]

whoever made this supermarket map mod belongs in jail

[hexed leaf]

uhh why?

[unique lava]

aint it a stolen asset

[last sundial]

Does anyone know anything about the console release?

[silk junco]

no official word about it

[last sundial]

Ok thanks

[unique lava]

is the clemente hotel haunted or some shit

istg im shooting agents and i turn the corner and theyre gone in a dead end

[unreal jacinth]

is the ue5 release coupled with the dlc1 release?

[silk junco]

who knows

[unreal jacinth]

well thats confusing

[tacit gull]

Probably

[urban walrus]

UE5 port is likely tied to the 1.1 update which could be either be launched before, after or at the same time as DLC 1.

[frozen moss]

Hello guys, i got a short question:
I played this game like 4 months ago and today i started again.
I feel like the maps are way easier.
Was there an update?
Is the TTK of my character longer now?
Thank you! 🙂

[crude prism]

There is currently a bug with Ceramic armor, you're effectively at 300+% health to what you were before February 6th.

They also toned the difficulty back a lot compared to launch, both of these things make the game way easier

[frozen moss]

Thank you! 🩵

[stone bay]

[stone bay]

This aint real right

[crude prism]

it's real

[stone bay]

Ill try it out

Bruh the S-Tier on Neon-Tomb is literally impossible.
Either, my SWAT AI pulls a gun (they dont have any mags equipped), and kills the suspect, the suspect kill each other with direct crossfire, or they kill each other through indirect crossfire. Sometimes I walk upstairs only to find a suspect dead.

[crude prism]

just an fyi it's not something you can test verifiably without using external software or some mod to show status (at least not 100%)

player on player is not bugged
player on bot is not bugged
the bug is bots shooting at the player (because there is a cap on damage dealt to players from AI)

[stone bay]

Hiw tf do you even find that out

[crude prism]

It was brought to my attention by someone who helps test with the spreadsheet stuff.

Then I verified it

[stone bay]

has anyone else noticed the combat grip being backwards on quite a few guns

[crude prism]

obviously intentional

there's no way that would be an accident, right?

[stone bay]

of course not

[crude prism]

[stone bay]

time to go fix this on every gun

( 😔 )

[crude prism]

You see nobody ever noticed because nobody uses the combat grip lmao

it's that shrimple

[stone bay]

probably because its fucking backwards

it go like this \

when it should go like this /

[humble mauve]

isn't it user preference

[stone bay]

no the only correct way is the way it should be

at the end of the day its used as a handstop so ig it doesnt really matter

[humble mauve]

BCM themselves say it can be mounted either way

[stone bay]

bcm is wrong

[frail quartz]

😡

But yeah, some people put the BCM on backwards for more grip

[stone bay]

thats interesting

[edgy linden]

You know what would be an epic update, once all the suspects are taken down have the civilians flee to the start of the mission and auto arrest themselves instead of spending 2-3 minutes back tracking to complete a mission finding the last one hiding somewhere

Is it realistic no, is it a convenient game mechanic of quality of life? Yes

[stone bay]

thats why i always tell them to run to the exit for that very reason

[unique lava]

or trailer units can start arresting civillians after all hostiles are detained or dead

[foggy stirrup]

a

[covert meteor]

game desperately needs more reactive officer ai, an option to try and use less lethal force first before they just open fire, and a secondary that isnt lethal

[soft dome]

Hey, quick question

Is ceramic still bugged where rilfe cartrages do around 50% less durability damage?

[blissful hedge]

"I fucked up.."

[unique lava]

"TOC, do me a favour will ya..."

[crude prism]

yeh

[soft dome]

Ahh yes

Ceramic being the most powerful armor type be like

I feel like steel could stand to be a lot stronger given that it's the heaviest

[stone stump]

be like what? it's completely logical to why it's the best

for the same reason cars have crumple zones

[stone stump]

it stops the bullet, but the energy still has to go somewhere (you)

[soft dome]

Maybe in a real life sense, but this is a video game

It doesn't inspire loadout diversity if only one option is the best and every other option is only good in niche scenarios

[opal holly]

no mercy for terrorists

[stone stump]

the game claims to be realistic

and yes, that is bound to happen when loadout has no cost

unless you make everything equal, some things WILL be better (meta)

[humble mauve]

I don't understand meta chasing even in most competitive games

I just use whatever is fun to use

[stone stump]

i prefer to have the best tools for the job

which is important, as you die pretty often in ron...

[shy tulip]

Skillt issue

As other games show, there will always be a meta, there will always be something that needs tweaking, and it will always result in something else being the best

[soft dome]

It's not a skill issue, I just like a variety of things being viable that's all

As it stands, there's no reason why I would choose anything other than ceramic

I feel like steel (in game I mean) is perfectly fine, I just feel like it needs to protect slightly more and slow you down a bit less (Increase the damage absorption from 70% to 75%/80% and maybe reduce the speed reduction of each plate from 23% to 20% or lower)

And kevlar, I have no idea what to do with kevlar, I guess it just exists?

[soft dome]

I feel like RON's balance is really good in that regard actually

You can use pretty much anything and it'll work within reason

The caliber is really the only deciding factor in what's effective against what

[jolly verge]

Armorer trait already increases steel reduction from 70 to 75%, which gives you 2-3 more shots before dying.
Acceleration penalty with steel almost unnoticeable if you using only front plate, you can just use heavy vest with front only steel plate and having kevlar protection on back/sides

[soft dome]

The armorer trait?

[jolly verge]

in commander mode

[soft dome]

That's single player right

[jolly verge]

yeap

[soft dome]

I haven't actually touched single-player yet

I've been doing multiplayer lobbies so I can go and do missions true solo

Also if you only pick a front plate with heavy armor everything else gets replaced by kevlar?

Interesting

I did not know any of this was a thing lol

[jolly verge]

yeap, you cant fully remove plates from light/heavy vest

[soft dome]

Gotcha

What other traits are there?

They sound interesting

[jolly verge]

there are bunch of them, like health increasing, kicking door with only 1 kick, surrender chance for yelling and etc.

[soft dome]

Gotcha

Yeah I was coming at this armor balance discussion without knowing armorer trait in single player was a thing

But now that I know, idk I guess scrap my idea about buffing steel armor?

[jolly verge]

giving steel plate 75/80% by default will kinda break balance

[soft dome]

Fair

You seem more knowledgeable about RON's balance than me

[unique lava]

I JUST DOMED A LOS LOCOS SUSPECT IN THE HEAD WITH 5.56 AND HE SHRUGGED IT OFF WHAT THE FUCK

[waxen grove]

i wouldnt bet money on it

[waxen grove]

soon™️

[tacit gull]

Well then you'd be losing out

[sick sluice]

why does the next level not unlock even after me completing Caesar's dealership THREE TIMES

[tacit gull]

Did you find the soft objectives and rescued all civilians?

[sick sluice]

yes

unless the guide is lying

besides do soft objectives matter in unlocking the next stage
that would make them hard objectives by definition

[lost inlet]

its beccause you missed or you using a mod that increase sus health

[jolly verge]

are you alive when complete mission?

[stone bay]

I just got spalled by one of my shields. Smh my head

[sick sluice]

does that matter

[jolly verge]

yeap

[sick sluice]

i remember dying 15 seconds into mindjot and the ai did the whole missions for me

[jolly verge]

if you dead, you cant unlock next mission

[sick sluice]

went into the next mission no problem

[jolly verge]

if you alive you can F every mission with failed every objective and you will unlock next one

[sick sluice]

then how did i pass mindjot

[jolly verge]

idk

[sick sluice]

wish the game never came out jesus christ it got so much worse

[rugged fern]

has the game changed since 1.0

[stone bay]

any tips for elephant

[pine sluice]

try find the bombs first then its kinda easy

[stone bay]

k

shit disturbing

my ass kinda anxious to play it so maybe tmr

[pine sluice]

not really i like being the shooter instead of saving them (ingame)

[stone bay]

"ingame"

💀

[pine sluice]

i have to add that bc before it got taken out of context

[stone bay]

yea ik

i shot and killed a man (ingame)

[wispy cypress]

proper updates when

this game is dead asf

[pine sluice]

nah

[urban walrus]

You can just roll back previous builds

[next shell]

how do you chat in ready or not

[hoary summit]

what was the status of pvp?

[tacit gull]

WIP

[crude prism]

In theory. But there's never been a public test/tease/anything since the 2020 PvP builds which are dinosaurs at this point

[stone bay]

#🔎looking-for-players

[native rune]

They’re working on pvp like country X is working on a peaceful resolution to conflict Y

Which is to say slowly, and grappling with many many multifaceted issues that will surely result in pissing the majority of people off anyway.

[edgy linden]

I mean the campaign mode is cool and all but idk, I think the AI and spicing up the randomness between level and enemies is one of the ways to give more replayability

Like once you S rank everything, and then you experience the silliness of random coop or serious rp with a group there ISINT much left to do

[acoustic ridge]

i just installed gunfighter, i didnt get my extra slots but i got every other change gunfighter makes, any way i can change that

[hexed leaf]

You probably have a mod that conflicts with gunfighter

[acoustic ridge]

i dont have any slot mods other than gunfighter, i wouldnt assume any other mod conflicts with it

[soft dome]

What's gunfighter?

[jolly verge]

you get all in one pak file?

[acoustic ridge]

no i only chose the parts i wanted

[jolly verge]

one of them is Basic?

[acoustic ridge]

yes i have gunfighter basic

oh nvm i just double checked, i didnt have it somehow

ill check if i get my slots now

[stone bay]

is anyone down to duo

[river tide]

why would this game need pvp it makes no sense lore wise

[jolly owl]

fortnite kids, let them be...

[river tide]

plus this game has terrible movement you cant sprint

youd shoot and be walking away

[jolly owl]

thank fuck it didn't stay that way then, just play r6 if you want a tactical shooter pvp

[tacit gull]

That's not true, it was always gonna be co-op and have PVP on top

[next bolt]

did you do the soft missions? or one of your ai teammates might have shot someone close to them

[dire anvil]

SA58… I think

[jolly owl]

how would pvp even work? officers vs officers? tactical? cops v. robbers tipe thing?

[tacit gull]

Still wondering what they're gonna do with it

[next bolt]

prolly similar to r6

[tacit gull]

Originally it was cops vs a military cult

[jolly owl]

damn. well as long as there is no battle royale mode...

[next bolt]

maybe a bit slower than r6

[next bolt]

I hope there wont be

imagine the slowest battle royale game

[jolly owl]

with building mechanics 💀

[next bolt]

you cant even jump but have building mechanics damn

[jolly owl]

and a Peter Griffin skin..

[tacit gull]

ron battle royale has been confirmed by zack to have 128 players

[jolly owl]

the day ron gets battle royale i'm killing myself in game.

[next bolt]

I hope not

imagine killing a suspect and hitting a floss to it

[jolly owl]

Brain rot ready or not. can't wait. what a time to be alive.

[next bolt]

naah nah we wont live that long to see that I promise

[soft dome]

Element to toc

I uhhhh... accidentally put 4 mags of p90 ammo in amos voll's head

How to proceed? over

[fleet fossil]

ye i do soft mission i gave ai gas weapons only

[stone bay]

Any of the shotguns

[next bolt]

sometimes ai can shoot with pistols even if you dont give any pistol ammo to them I had a lot of runs that are ruined just by that I recommend putting ai team somewhere on start where they wont shoot any suspects so you can do the mission calmer

[covert meteor]

just make sure you dont give them any pistol mags iv never had them shoot

theyll still pull their sidearm

but they wont shoot

i do wish there was more melee enemies ingame though, like i dont know where these druggies are getting FAL's from kitchen knives are way cheaper

[next bolt]

My game might be bugged because i double check every mission for mags and still they shoot matbe thats the same thing for him

[raven siren]

people who play solo: are also your officers a little dumb or am i just a bad captian, cuz i used the shield on one of them and they keep taking it off, or usually after i order to launch a gas grenade after we breach they open the door and stay in front of it for a small instant but so doing they take a lot of damage.

[acoustic ridge]

why dont i get my extra slots in public servers? i have gunfighter basic installed, i can equip 25 in the loadout menu but when i spawn in i only get 13 slots

[rough gale]

all my guys are depressed should i fire everybody and rehire

[soft dome]

I wouldn't know because I don't use AI officers

I host solo multiplayer lobbies and play true solo

[raven siren]

didnt know u could do that. now i am going to do that. recommended?

[soft dome]

I meannnn

It's certainly a way to play the game

It's much much more challenging than just playing with friends or AI bots

That's why I do it

It's very rewarding to be able to do the job of a entire 5 man team yourself while also getting S-Ranks

[raven siren]

im not new to tactical shooters, but kinda new to Ready or not, i've completed only the first 2 missions with bots for now. i was looking for sum to play the campaign, u would be down for sum? soon or late?

[soft dome]

I'm probably gonna be busy later

I made plans :(

If you try to do true solo, understand that various different challenges will come up in gameplay that you need to deal with on the fly or work around

[raven siren]

honestly, i would do that for the S-rank, as AI might die and usually multiplayer mates play a little random

[raven siren]

im addaptive.

[soft dome]

Good

On top of the level of difficulty the game has, these challenges stem mainly from you having to be a one man army while in true solo

Stuff such as having to check and manage every flank yourself

Having to be equipped for any situation and the possibility of running out of ammo or resources

[raven siren]

i mean, is 1AM for me, so im not that free too. but if one day you wanna do just dm me.

[soft dome]

Alrighty

[raven siren]

thats the worst part

[soft dome]

And then there's stuff like having to deal with all of the enemy aggro yourself

And needing to be hyper aware of your surroundings

There's also proper solo door breaching, checking corners, using sound cues

[raven siren]

for the S rank. you use the non-lethal weapons? or you focus mainly on flashbangs, smoke...

[soft dome]

If a door is open you need to know how to approach that door because nobody is going to be covering you

[soft dome]

Non lethals and the proper grenades for the loadout I'm using

I never use flashbangs, only CS-Gas and Stingers

[raven siren]

as it should be

[soft dome]

Also

Huge tip I'm gonna give you right now

CS-Gas isn't a automatic win button

Neither are pepperballs

Gas loadouts have their own unique strengths and weaknesses

Honestly I find stingers and beanbags much more reliable and consistent

[raven siren]

but are the non-lethatl weapons efficent against more armored enemies?

[soft dome]

Armor doesn't matter on non lethal

[raven siren]

ty for tip, i'll try the first mission alone and see how it goes.

[soft dome]

Beanbags outright ignore armor in all cases, so it's just a matter of hitting the body or limbs

Never aim for the head, it'll kill your target

[raven siren]

no i mean, primary non-lethal weapons

[soft dome]

Yeah that's what I said

Enemy armor doesn't matter

[raven siren]

oh yeah sorry i missread

[soft dome]

Beanbag shotgun is the most powerful non lethal option, but it comes with some drawbacks

[raven siren]

don't know how, but better this way. Ty for tip again

[soft dome]

It's challenging to aim, missed shots are punished heavily, and it's worse at long ranges (unless you're good at aiming, then you can use beanbag shotgun on every map in the game and be brutally effective)

[raven siren]

would you recommend also a shield in this cases?

[soft dome]

The pepperball launcher on the other hand is much less challenging to aim due to the semi auto nature, is better at long ranges (in theory) and has more ammo

[raven siren]

for solo i mean

[soft dome]

But also it takes more ammo to incapacitate targets and the inherent effects of gas are very unpredictable. Sometimes you'll gas or pepperball someone and they'll comply immediately, sometimes they'll stop dead in their tracks and cough allowing for easy incapacitation and compliance, sometimes they'll run away while under the effects of the gas, if they run into you that's great, but most of the time they run away into more fortified positions and that just makes things so much harder

[soft dome]

Shield is amazing no matter the circumstance

It's incredible for aggressive play and room clearing without using grenades

[raven siren]

ok, i'll try one last shield push with full AI squad then i'll do the solo. thank u man

[soft dome]

It's good to protect yourself with, either equipped or unequipped

And most importantly

On maps with large and open spaces, it can help you to get to cover while blocking bullets or be used to locate your target without great risk to yourself

You can also safely and effectively bully enemies into reloading their weapons and follow it up with a accurate spray of pepperballs or a single beanbag shot, or get easy compliance on scared or startled targets, regardless of if they pull a gun on you or not you'll be safe

I highly recommend taking the laser pointer with the beanbag shotgun exclusively because of the tanking strat, because it allows you to accurately follow up during enemy reloads

It also just helps to be able to shoot from the hip and be accurate in times where ADSing takes too much time

[raven siren]

got it. Ty again. good night, good luck.

[soft dome]

Yeee

You too

Oh and one more thing @raven siren

Don't get discouraged by dying a lot, RON is a very difficult game, you're gonna die at some points no matter how skillfully you play

You can do everything right in a situation in RON and still die because of some bullshit you could not predict

It's very realistic in that regard

Do your best, play well, and if you die or fail, roll with the punches

Learn what you can from each death, and use that to improve your gameplay

[raven siren]

i know, i awlays play by murphy's law. but the problem is that commander mode is almost impossible with AI, someone will always die and i have to throw the whole saving (cuz i would have to waste that officer and do the mission again)

[soft dome]

Yeahhh

I've heard that commander mode can be brutal

And accounting for the AI leaves a lot of unpredictability

[raven siren]

wait very last thing: any diffrence between doing solo multy. or trying commander mode, and just telling team to hold at spawn?

[soft dome]

Commander mode allows you to have various traits that buff your player character

Which makes commander mode a bit easier in terms of raw gameplay I'd reckon

Solo multiplayer (true solo) has none of these traits

Having done my research, nutritionist and armorer alone can make you so much more durable to the point where you can feel like a tank

Nutritionist even at it's lowest level increases your HP by a solid 40 points

And armorer buffs all armors in the game

Kevlar, broken ceramic, and steel get 5% increases to their protection

And ceramic's durability gets increased from 4 per plate to 6, and if you're using the ballistic facemask that gets a durability increase from 2 to 3

Which doesn't sound like a lot but trust me, it's a lot

[edgy linden]

That and the AI actually covers your back unlike random pubs

[stone bay]

Then you didnt do everthing right 🙂

[stone bay]

Theres levels for the different officers?

[soft dome]

Tell that to the guy in valley of the dolls making no noise, camping behind a wall, who put a entire mag of 10mm into my ballistic face mask

I had no grenades to flush him out with, and even if I did, I would have never known he was there

[stone bay]

I mean, ngl I dunno what magic is killing my Suspects but Im trying to S tier on Neon-Tomb for 5 days now and everytime a suspect is dead

And theres no way

Because i aint killing them

[soft dome]

You're not killing them

They're killing themselves

[stone bay]

Yes

[soft dome]

Most likely through friendly fire

[stone bay]

Wallbanging through the fucking roof on the bathing area

Like

Wtf

[soft dome]

Yeah

Part of the skill of playing ready or not is mitigating the inevitable bullshit that happens

There's gamesense, awareness, and mechanical skill too

[stone bay]

Or bomb vest guy deciding to make An S tier run more like a "how mucj pain can I take"

[soft dome]

But a lot of it is trying to mitigate bullshit

[stone bay]

I mean its like chess

[soft dome]

Y e p

[stone bay]

Youre trying to play by principles

If you follow them, it will guarantee the highest success rate

But not 100% of all games will be won

[soft dome]

All of that is true too

Mainly my point was just that a lot of the deaths in RON will be your fault, but a rare few of them, there'll be nothing you can do

[stone bay]

True

[soft dome]

I've been S-Ranking hide and seek all day

I've previously S-Ranked it 4 times, and I've S-Ranked it another 2 today

[stone bay]

This is exactly what Ive been saying with this

[soft dome]

The amount of attempts where I was nearly finished but died because I missed a beanbag shot at a critical moment is staggering

In general, I don't feel like hide and seek is the hardest map though

I think that title belongs to valley of the dolls for me personally

I think I've S-Ranked valley of the dolls like what?

10, 11, maybe 12 times now?

It never gets easier

[stone bay]

I find valley of the dolls one of the easiest

[soft dome]

Huh

[stone bay]

But I also played it tons

It used to be my favorite map when it came out

[soft dome]

Yeee

Meanwhile greased palms has actually become rather elementary in terms of difficulty

I can S-Rank that shit easily now

Probably my most played map outside of valley of the dolls

[stone bay]

Find sinious trails or greased palms a log more unpredictable when it comes to difficulty

[soft dome]

And the one I've S-Ranked the most as well

[stone bay]

Like greased palms can be a walk in the park or a nightmare

If you have 10 suspects in the jungle area

[soft dome]

Oh dear god the jungle

Yeah I do everything before the jungle

I only go jungle first if I'm exceptionally pissed off and want to bring the pain to the suspects

[severe oak]

can soemone send some uniform mods

[pine sluice]

this hospital map takes s olong

[stone bay]

It’s unnecessarily big

[pine sluice]

ive been doing this mission for so long

[edgy linden]

That's what she said

[pine sluice]

👎

[unique lava]

i swear getting an S run on any map except the 'tutorial map' is impossible when carying lethal

[stone bay]

I'm pretty sure that was the point.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[karmic niche]

Yeah sounds about right go look how much people hate cops n sheit 🤷‍♂️

[unique lava]

but no swat team is going to go in a hotel to save the senator from rogue secret servicce agents with a pepperball gun

[frail quartz]

Yeah, the S rank isn't really meant to be realistic, just an extra challenge.

[lyric osprey]

but I heard in the past u can go lethal and still get s rank, is this true?

[jolly verge]

if you kill/incap anyone you won't get S rank. It's possible to S with lethal weapons, but way harder compare to less lethal guns

[prime wing]

nah, it has to be flawless

[loud storm]

is it excessive force if i double tap

[inland fulcrum]

Almost finished with the campaign, been having a fantastic time. Got about 7 S Ranks today (up to 15 total). While the gameplay is excellent I want to say that I am amazed by the detail put into most of the maps - not just the over-the-top stuff like in Valley of the Dolls or Carriers of the Vine, but tiny little references that I would never have imagined to see in a modern game. For instance, I laughed out loud when a suspect in Brisa Cove said something like "I'm just traveling" upon arrest (which I'm assuming is a reference to sovereign citizen theories.)

It almost reminds me of Deus Ex (one of the greatest games ever made imo.) Whoever puts this effort into the environments is really doing a stellar job - I hope they know that.

FWIW, I don't think S-ranks are as hard as people make them out to be. I achieved one on Greased Palms in about 5 attempts, nothing close to the nightmare stories I've heard. I think once you understand the layout of a map it becomes much easier. Props to actual law enforcement who have to secure locations often totally blind.

[soft dome]

Alright guys, Imma share a hot take with y'all

I think CS-Gas and pepperballs aren't all they're cracked up to be

Change my mind lol

[prime wing]

yeah thats murder

[novel horizon]

I dislike pepperball personally

[inland fulcrum]

I like pepperball best on AI squadmates

[soft dome]

Mostly for me it's just the inconsistency of gas in general

If I shoot a beanbag at someone or throw a stinger I can be sure they won't move and they'll be stunned

Good morale damage too

Meanwhile gas and pepperballs will either make suspects run away or run towards you or do any number of things

[jolly verge]

gas and pepperballs better than beanbag only in commander mode with traits

[soft dome]

I see

I was mostly referring to multiplayer

What trait makes them better?

[jolly verge]

pacifier, which make suspect surrender if he in radius of pepper/gas smoke

combine with negotiator you can just run and gun for S grade

[soft dome]

Huh

Interesting

[novel horizon]

I ran with Beanbag and flash myself while I gave AI pepperball and gas

Cause yeah sometimes people will run out of the gas (pretty realistic reaction) but sometimes you want people to stay where they are

Baaaaaaaaaasically, I found good results with having a gas guy or carrying both and using different tools for different situations

[unique lava]

just got lethal S in 23mb and the spider

on a quest

[frail quartz]

I think they were referring to incapacitated suspects counting towards a full score in older versions

[unique lava]

ohh right right

[next bolt]

dont give your ai shields they will die like that

[next bolt]

nice

[main onyx]

No. Goal is to stop the threat (not kill the threat). If it takes one bullet, great. If it takes 50. Well sucks for them. Threat is stopped when suspect complies, when they drop unconscious, or dies.
That does not mean shoot them when they are already laying on the ground.

[elder void]

Alright, so Six Days just announced another feature delay (Squad AI), let's see if we're going to hear the same thing for RoN today in Bi Weekly briefing

[ashen agate]

[hollow citrus]

soon™

[native rune]

Blog or Not Looks like Not

[silver palm]

It was always Not

[silver palm]

Crazy how they still aren't in the game. We be losing the drip

Shit that was 5 days ago

[supple blade]

I can't believe that this game hasn't been put on console yet. A roblox game managed to do it 💀

[elder void]

#announcements message

Hahaha! Another week for disappointment for the Milsim gaming community. I think I'm done with milsim shooters for now, going to distract myself with Boomer Shooters and GZDoom games like Selaco.

[silver palm]

It would definitely blow up on console but they got stuff to do before putting the game on console imo

[supple blade]

I think so too, but it's just a little odd. Usually games get ported over when they reach the area of development that ready or not is at

[meager fern]

Hello, when i host a public lobby or just friends only lobby NOBODY is unable to join me i can't remember what message they get but some message saying they can't join me and server side checksum IS DISABLED all i see in the "chat" when i host a public lobby is a player joins (they're character does not even load in) and they leave

[silver palm]

I haven't played since January so I don't really know how much the game changed

[silver palm]

Especially with EA being finally over so it has a better chance on coming on those platforms

[elder void]

Especially Ground Branch which has been in EA for 10+ years now 😂

Yeh, this is why I didn't even bother with Gray Zone Warfare despite all the hype surrounding it

[opal holly]

what is better for fps and quality dx12 or dx11

[jolly verge]

dx12, but it's does not change quality

[opal holly]

kk thx

[elder void]

I have Zero Hour, haven't played since several patches ago, but I'll check it out now

[vast ruin]

Can we get some more transparency from the devs? You guys make the newsletter to give us an insight into what is happening but you're hardly using it. I understand not much has happened but just tell us that. This defeats the purpose of the newsletter and is making you guys on par with other game companies when you guys used to be better then them. Own up to your promises for once, it isn't that hard.

[elder void]

Ooof, AI Squad is improved, but no where near the quality of RoN AI. Commanding them is still janky.

What would make up for the shitty AI is have them available in COOP mode when you don't have enough friends for a full Fireteam

[oak copper]

when dlc?

damn

[quiet urchin]

Hello everyone. I hope to find an answer from those who are often thrown out of the lobby in the menu due to an allegedly bad connection. Who and how overcame this disease? Thank you

[oak copper]

the only thing the briefings are doing is rising expectations, I hope the final product lives to it

[river tide]

lfg casual #523218209713684480

[stone bay]

hey guys, long time ago i recorded each dialogue from Judge myself and replaced his voice with mine, would that still be possible after the final release?

[hasty iron]

So I heard something a while back that the game was being rewritten for Unreal Engine and all the existing mods would have to be redone, etc. but then I heard someone else recently say the game is already on UE and that the mods don't need to be redone. Any definitive answer to this or is it all speculation?

[shy tulip]

RoN is already an Unreal game and always has been. RoN however is on 4 right now, it is being updated to 5. Safe to say most if not all mods will break.

• Maps will have to be tweaked for UE5
• AI mods will break because they've already confirmed they're changing the AI (sight detection letter)
• I believe they said in a past letter that they're adding more voices, so it may break voice mods.

[hasty iron]

Ok thanks for the clarification! Will it still require the same skills to make the mods or is it going to work completely differently? Like I'm sure that making assets in blender and such will be the same, but as far as the process of working it into the game, will it be pretty similar with just tweaks or will it be like learning a whole new thing?

Asking because I haven't gotten into making my own mods and I'm trying to figure out if its worth learning stuff yet or if I should wait.

[shy tulip]

I do not know how it will work, I do not create mods. I can say it will eventually change since they're looking to use open source tools for modders to use, by the look of it.

[waxen locust]

is the helmet cosmetic only?

or add armor

[native rune]

The helmet adds head armor, yes

It doesn’t matter what Customize helmet you pick, just that you have one to begin with.

[waxen locust]

so if i remove it from the menu, to what extent to i lose armor?

i assume 1 shot to the head is kill regardless of having helmet or not

so what is the difference

[native rune]

One shot to the helmet is not an instant kill, player damage is capped meaning you can only suffer a certain amount of health damage from a particular hit, if I remember correctly.

The helmet can (if I remember correctly) absorb one hit by default, then it will display red on your paper doll in the bottom corner, and your vision will get all messed up for a bit.

Reading the holy spreadsheet, helmets also apparently have a chance to deflect rounds. Deflected rounds will not harm the helmets durability. Your head can take more than one hit if you have a helmet on, because at most the first shot can do is break the helmet, then a second shot would be needed to do damage beyond that, if you don’t bring a helmet you can be one-shot.

[waxen locust]

ty

can i also ask how to change the weapon of ai bots and can i make them take non lethal only?

[native rune]

1. Go to the loadout screen, the white text on the top corner that says Self is a drop-down menu, click that and it will allow you to change the kit of everyone on your team.

2. Technically no, But in practice yes. Give them a less-lethal primary like the beanbag shotgun, and make sure they have no ammo for their pistol. That way they will only shoot their less lethal weapon, and then they will switch to an empty pistol.

[waxen locust]

where i see alpha bravo charlie and delta?

this is them?

[native rune]

Yes

[waxen locust]

Question, what does the fire an officer do? why is it good? if i obtained perks with an officer and i fire him will i just lose the perks?

[shy tulip]

You get rid of a member, maybe they were stressed and gonna quit anyway, maybe you want to reroll and see if you get an officer with a trait you want

[waxen locust]

Also another question i see theres a trait that makes the bot help a teammate if incapacitated, to which situations this applies?

i thought that if a teammate is going to die then he will revive him with something but i don't understand when it helps

[amber dock]

I think it's after the mission

So one person that died during the mission is saved and only incapped or something like that

[waxen locust]

nope

i checked and it showed me 3\4 officers dead

i oh think i understand he is incapacitated as a status but i still need him to not die during the mission to get s rank

so better not use bots because they always either die or kill the suspects

s rank was meant to be played solo or that's how it feels

[stone bay]

should i go into the main entrance in elephant?

[limpid cypress]

i go the stairwell personally, the main entrance for me has way to many angles and shit

i might be misunderstanding/forgetting though

[copper cypress]

In fact, it is dangerous wherever you go.

[meager fern]

Hello, when i host a public lobby or just friends only lobby NOBODY is unable to join me i can't remember what message they get but some message saying they can't join me and server side checksum IS DISABLED all i see in the "chat" when i host a public lobby is a player joins (they're character does not even load in) and they leave

[next bolt]

no s rank is meant to play how you want to play I used bots in my runs and they helped a lot you just need to learn how to control bots and when you have to control the bots rest is up to you and your tactics

[stone bay]

Is there a way to turn up the volume of dialogues in game?

Like a seperate way

[next bolt]

Idk

[next bolt]

also if you want to go solo I suggest you take some gas and a gas mask it will help a lot based on map ofc

[stone stump]

isn't there a slider for that in the sound settings?

[stone bay]

i can see only SFX ones but gunshots are already too loud for me

idk but it feels like when i played before the volume of the voicelines were louder

but now they are really quiet

[stone stump]

on the other hand it's perfectly reasonable to not have that slider included. after all, the game claims to be realistic

and it might be beneficial for immersion for the voices to be relative to other sounds

[stone bay]

i dont think its very realistic for me to not hear anyone

[stone stump]

you should hear everyone just fine

[stone bay]

it just breaks my immersion because the guy on the radio is really and i mean really quiet

and the gunshots are loud but its fine

[waxen locust]

true i tried using them more with non lethal weapons only and shield to breach doors with and it worked

sometimes they do get killed instantly but theres no way to avoid that 100% of the times

[stone stump]

giving them shields isn't the best idea

ironically they are more exposed that way

[waxen locust]

they use it only when breaching and it always helps against enemies ready to shoot us

i got a couple of maps s on the first try that method just now after struggeling for while

[next bolt]

you shouldnt give them shields they usually die and they also kill the purpose of non-lethal because they use pistols, instead I suggest going with c2 and gas bombs to clear rooms

[waxen locust]

c2 kills the people infront of the door so it's not always useful but it sounds like a good tactic overall

[jolly verge]

с2 deal 100 damage to everyone on the other side of door, it's will only incap civi and injure suspects, making them fake death

[waxen locust]

i think it would be better if taser would be suggested as a non lethal weapon in pistol section just like beanbag shotgun is in the shotgun section

then you can actually take it hold it and walk with it and use it in close quarters

[waxen locust]

so it might clash with trying to get s rank bcs you don't want anyone dying

[jolly verge]

you don't use c2 on S runs anyway

[next bolt]

you need a mirror gun incase I use c2 after I chechk the room with mirror gun If there are civillians I just wont use c2 instead I will go with cs gas and btw them faking death dont affect s runs I did that a lot of times and still got an s

[next bolt]

tasers are only required for a few maps because there will be some suspects who never surrender If thats the case I bring taser (I used taser in only neon tomb and never ever used it)

[next bolt]

I did use

[stone bay]

easy fix

go into options and uncheck serverside checksum

or check it, whatever fixes it

[next bolt]

I think the go to loadout for you is never bring pistol ammo use cs gas bring a mirror gun and rest usually all vks ammo which is the gun I used every map

[meager fern]

read.

[stone bay]

any weird mods you have installed?

[next bolt]

for ai teammates I always go with no pistol ammo 2 breaching shotgun 1 ram 1 mirror gun 3 cs gas for all of them and for 2 ai teammate I got 2 c2's each also I use vks for all ai teammates

[meager fern]

no

[waxen locust]

Why sometimse when i finish arresting everybody on the scene and use the search and secure command they just take cover and wait and do not go for securing weapons

i think i know there might be objectives that are not on the list but must be done

[next bolt]

There is nothing to secure thats why lol

[next bolt]

You need to go for soft objects yourself they just arrest amd secure evidence

[stone bay]

Usually when the path is blocked in some way by like wedges or its not guns that are lying around but soft objectives

[solid patio]

Guys , will steam give me a refund if I have 43 hours on this game?

The constant major issues are just dogshit 😭

Game doesn't launch at all

[coarse osprey]

we have an emoji for this

[solid patio]

hopefully it was this one

[coarse osprey]

nah, it's this one:

sadly steam wont give refunds after 2 in-game hours

[solid patio]

Well, there goes my 25 dollars

[coarse osprey]

nah, try reinstalling or removing all mods

the basic stuff help 99% of the time

[solid patio]

Trust me , I have tried every single fix possible , I've reported everywhere and I got no leads at all , I've spent at least 4 hours searching for a fix 😔

[coarse osprey]

verify game's cache

ahh damn, no hardware or software issues?

[solid patio]

If you're interested you could head to #1253705813495648336

[coarse osprey]

try ask in #💻tech-support some folks there can help

[solid patio]

I posted a video there

[solid patio]

I just haven't found this error anywhere , be it steam discussions or bug reports

[coarse osprey]

well, last thing i can offer is try turning off anti virus or let steam & ron bypass it, even though it looks bad, there are games that never launch with specific anti viruses on, like i used to have avg and couldn't run prey, took me weeks to realize the anti virus just hated it but never gave a message

[solid patio]

Hopefully that is the case , I use Kaspersky , let's give this a try

[coarse osprey]

sometimes there are updates that make the game unplayable on some rigs, a later update randomly fixes it

devs recognize the problem or something, magic

[solid patio]

So basically my best shot is to wait till the next update

[coarse osprey]

most likely, can try the antivirus stuff

i am no dev or tech support guy, i only hope to give a solution

[solid patio]

Yeah so I just specifically trusted the ready or not exe file location using my antivirus , and it doesn't work

I'm cooked

[solid patio]

Truly thanks for your help , still can't open the game tho

[coarse osprey]

pff that sucks, try running the exe as an admin too, if you have w11, try compatibility to w10 in the properties

[solid patio]

Can run for max to max w8 , and if I run using admin the game doesn't connect to steam

No steam , no friends

@coarse osprey , what in the shit , I did a little clicking of buttons and I think I just found a new fix

Feels like I just found a new fucking element

[meager fern]

Every time ANYONE tries to join me it says "Connection to the host lost" i have server side checksum disabled.

[coarse osprey]

how? what? it got fixed?

was afk

[solid patio]

Yeah , so this might be tough to understand , but i went to the exe properties and then ticked the (run as administrator) option so that the shortcut always runs the game using admin , might not seem surprising to you

So what i was had tried before was to go to the exe file location , run it as admin directly from there

instead i went to its properties and clicked away

[coarse osprey]

that's nuts 😄 guess you gotta fiddle with it until it works

glad you made it through

[solid patio]

wish i could send a pic here , but it isnt worth much ig

[solid patio]

hoping for the best the next time i launch this shi , i appreciate your help , pretty ironic how i got most of the help from a channel unrelated to bug discussion

[coarse osprey]

[solid patio]

[olive tulip]

whaaaaaaaat? i never knew that could happen

[quartz echo]

when will RoN go over from P2P to dedicated server hosting?

[olive tulip]

no clue, it honestly might just not

[solid patio]

well , atleast i didnt , not much of a tech guy

[olive tulip]

i work for IT so if something like this happens again you can ping me

not for THIS game but you can still ping me

[solid patio]

I expected a passive aggressive comment but damn thanks a lot , ill be sure to do that when I have such an issue.

you know stuff about pc components too?

having a tough time dealing with cooling

[olive tulip]

ah, new pc or old-ish?

@solid patio

[solid patio]

Bought in December end , last year

[olive tulip]

hm alright

what type of cooling

[solid patio]

My dad scares me about how running the pc fans on high speed damages it

[solid patio]

Just a normal inbuilt fan

[olive tulip]

not really

[solid patio]

Wait wait my bad dude laptop YES LAPTOP

[olive tulip]

OHHHHHHH THAT MAKES ALOT MORE SENSE

[solid patio]

I always tell others I have a pc 💀

My bad 😭

[olive tulip]

nahnah its fine dw

[solid patio]

So I just run it up to 5800 ish rpm while I play games , especially RoN , dunno wtf happened to the game , it gets my pc VERY hot , wasn't like this about a month ago

[olive tulip]

is your laptop flat on something?

[solid patio]

I have it placed on a (non functional) 10-15 year old cooling pad

[olive tulip]

try to put it sort of tilted on something

where the bottom is open

saved me from having a overheat with my old laptop

[solid patio]

Hmm

Currently I use my cooling pad just as a stand , so I could just get rid of it and use some books or something

Btw I put a table fan perpendicular to the hot air flowing out of the side vent , so as to divert the hot air away faster

[olive tulip]

smart but having it open is still just better

[solid patio]

Hm alright great , just wanted to clear my suspicion that high speed fan running reduces pc lifespan

[olive tulip]

it really doesn't, my PC has been running at 5600 rpm for like a year now

then again i have a RTX 4090 so it might be different for me

[solid patio]

That's good to hear , I have a HP victus , win 11 , Intel i7 13th gen

[solid patio]

4060 here

[amber dock]

Good morning

[sterile tiger]

Wait Unreal Engine 5 is now currently in RoN?

[amber dock]

Not currently. Stuff in the newsletter is future stuff.

[sterile tiger]

Ohhh alright

[thick ibex]

bro the hospital mission is ridiculous.........

[high seal]

In iron man mode if a officer dies but gets saved by another officer with the paramedic trait, will I still get the achievement for completing iron man mode without losing a officer?

[sterile tiger]

I am about to buy RoN

Are the ragdolls realistic and is it fun?

[potent wigeon]

Boy it's fun. I just got the game aswell and if you like tactical shooters, you're gonna love the game

[sterile tiger]

Alr imma buy it

[stone bay]

ragdolls are a good mix of arcade and realistic

[tacit gull]

The ragdolls aren't anything special and the game can be fun, but i would wait and get it on the summer sale

[sterile tiger]

ah i just bought it ):\

[stone bay]

worth

[sterile tiger]

i hope so

[tacit gull]

For full price? Right now? Hell nah

[sterile tiger]

then i will probably just refund and wait for an other time

[tacit gull]

If you still want it on sale you can refund and wait untill the 27th

[sterile tiger]

yeah that

[tacit gull]

You can try it out for 1.5 hrs if you want to

[waxen locust]

guys if i see i have 3 pings from this chat what is the best way to find them without scrolling forever?

[tacit gull]

But just dont go past 2 hrs because that will void your refund

[sterile tiger]

yeah i will just set a timer

[tacit gull]

You should have an inbox on discord that shows messages you're pinged in

Or a Notifications screen on your phone

[mortal flint]

[stone bay]

are there any mods that disable the AI's incessant need to immediately break formation to secure evidence or a body or whatever the fuck?

[tacit gull]

no

[sand topaz]

You can send a halt command before they get too close 😅

[sand topaz]

Counterpoint, i loved the game and put 200 hours into it in singleplayer so feel I got my moneys worth out of it

[cursive sphinx]

What if instead of TOC it was cock

[tacit gull]

i'm sure the old subtitles had that in there somewhere

[sand topaz]

Lol they were awful

[floral hemlock]

Damn this game is dying

[sand topaz]

Why do you say that? I've found the community to be awful but the game itself is awesome

[cursive sphinx]

What's wrong with the community you guys seem all right

[tacit gull]

I'm pretty sure it's the complete opposite, there's a ton of people playing but the game is in a terrible state right now

[floral hemlock]

I think the game is okay. I don’t care about the community, it’s a good game just still kinda janky, no AI updates yet, and just the same Stale Maps

Personally I liked when you could choose what kind of situation with each map like before Alpha

[sand topaz]

I never played before the 1.0 release, picked it up after that

[floral hemlock]

Regardless, the game is pretty stale now. I was so hyped for this game for like 4 years, now I’ve S ranked every map, done the Iron man run, and now just waiting on content they can’t even get out on time

[tacit gull]

That's how it's always been, right now a lot of the game's systems are stale, old or just horribly designed and thought out

Some are still unfinished, some aren't in the game

And that just leads to a very draining experience

[floral hemlock]

Def needs to be Polished and Optimized. The first run going through all the maps was great! I wasn’t too excited about the huge maps though, since you can’t even run in this game

I’m sure once this game reaches its end of life, this game will be great

[tacit gull]

Oh there's definetly some incredibly talented people working on it

But the product overall i wouldn't recommend at all right now and it sucks

Not that it matters since most of my friends got the game in EA but still

[floral hemlock]

Well let’s hope the new 3 maps are fun and hopefully they’ll be on time for DLC 2

[waxen locust]

ty

[stone bay]

i think saying it sucks is a stretch

it depends what youre looking for, as far as gunplay goes its top tier

[spring hull]

whats going on with replay mode? are they fixing it? feels more broken than a while back.

[stone stump]

they haven't touched it since "release"

[potent wigeon]

Fuck me this game is tough

Maybe not in terms of difficulty but mentally. It's like playing a horror game with guns

[sterile tiger]

Yeah I am not prepared to get spammed by drug addicts in a dark, eerie environment.

[wispy cypress]

new maps when

[wispy cypress]

puss* activities

[spring hull]

lame

[waxen locust]

How to avoid active shooters killing suspects \ civilians ? i try getting s rank on the mail map but every time i arrest everyone no kills the only kills are the shooters killing civilians \ suspects before i can even react

[shy tulip]

They won't really do that on mail unless they take a hostage with you nearby, otherwise it sounds like them just getting hit in crossfire

[unique lava]

in my playthroughs i've experienced that some of the los locos suspects try to take Eugene Gomez hostage somewhat frequently which fucks up S runs

[rocky storm]

maybe spawn area too small, for some map i never have more than 2 human player
i have 4 ai player with me so we only have 6 player starting position

[jolly verge]

Nope, paramedic wont save the hermit and i guess watch too

[spare crest]

Which mission was hard for y'all? (Mine was Ides of March)

[torpid holly]

meth

[spare crest]

That was easy for me

[torpid holly]

The issue for me is how concentrated the flashlight is

I couldn't light up more than a few cm on my screen, and if I used night vision I'd be flashbanged in some rooms

[spare crest]

true

like my eyes were burned

[torpid holly]

Yeah

Difficulty wise it wasn't that hard, it was just straining on my eyes and that's worse than the hardest mission

[spare crest]

ye

I mostly use the shield when going like in well lit missions

[torpid holly]

Shield isn't a bad shout

I haven't used it much

[spare crest]

If you want cover with the shield, grab a laser pointer on your sidearm

After all, You don´t wanna go point blank.

[royal sinew]

how do i change the voices

[spare crest]

You need to be in an online game to change the voice of your character.

Kinda like Judge tho...

[royal sinew]

i was in a friends only session

[jolly verge]

host can't change voice

[royal sinew]

changed it but its still on judge

[spare crest]

did you go back to singleplayer?

[jolly verge]

it's always will be judge, other players can change it

[royal sinew]

thats so lame

[tacit gull]

Your voice only changes when a player joins your lobby

[royal sinew]

oh

[spare crest]

What is the last mission btw?

[tacit gull]

And either way the other officer voices dont have command lines implemented

So you will still hear judge sometimes

[spare crest]

Right immediately when you open a door and there´s a civi infront of it, the cops literally make shout chaos

[meager fern]

Can someone recommend me mods for realism? Making the game LOOK and FEEL realistic like you're gear, improovements Mostly gear LOL

[royal sinew]

check nexus mods and sort them by "most endorsed" you'll find a lot of them

[spare crest]

The postal facility is GIANT

[stone bay]

fffffffs A+ for the third fucking time on Neon Tomb because my Swat Officer shot a friendly

what counts as friendly fire in RoN?

even if you flash your buddies? or stinger them?

[jolly verge]

yes

that why gas better, it's cant damage swat ai

[split elk]

I got lucky and cleared it first time (A)

[thick ibex]

nah if you aren't confident/brave enough then 90% of the time ur gonna lose

I suggest you start with Swat 4 first, it's very similar to Ready or Not but much more slow-paced and focused on tactics and strategy more

[thick ibex]

bodycam mod idk

[stone bay]

Officer Eli looks alot like Hickok45 to me for some reason

[royal sinew]

playing solo is easier than playing with bots

apparently

[stone bay]

Really?

[spare crest]

I got it on A+

What is the last mission?

[split elk]

Port hokan?

[spare crest]

I dunno

[split elk]

I mean last mission is port hokan

[spare crest]

oh

cheers

[brazen merlin]

So I just tried slugs on the shotguns. That is some mean stopping power

[jolly verge]

slugs kinda bad, buckshot is far better, no need aim at torso to deal max damage, have chance to dismember = instant death, effective at any distance

[brazen merlin]

I was single shotting targets from a good 50m+ with the slugs xD

[jolly verge]

fun thing that slugs effective distance in game is only up to 25m, after that damage will drop by 3.2 points every 1m
buckshot don't have noticeable damage drop (40 to 35 per 1 pellet on 151m distance)

maps just not that big, so you can't really notice it, unless you really trying snipe with slugs

[spare crest]

Valley of the Dolls is kinda annoying

THREE GUARD BEHIND A DOOR!

[brazen merlin]

It's stopped letting me choose Slug lol, I have Slug ammo selected but still gives me Buck in game

[spare crest]

The game said ''Use some Buck and not Slugs''

AI just survived a headshot...

We got some god powers happening here...

[stone bay]

yes they tend to do that

[jolly verge]

if you enter multiplayer lobby it's will buckshot, but after a few shots it's should be slugs again

[brazen merlin]

It might be, just saying Buckshot, cause I got clipped by a friendly and spun round and smoked him from a decent distance

[spare crest]

WHAT?!

[jolly verge]

you can oneshot everyone with buckshot on any distance in game

[spare crest]

thanks for tip

fuck, right when I said that i entered the van

[wheat zealot]

anyone know when the next update will be?

[spare crest]

Nothing beats playing RoN whilist listening to some fire music.

[thick ibex]

i can't with the hospital mission bro

I cleared every floor and in the basement

I had 2 guys left, I ran out of ammo for both weapons and had nothing to defend myself against the last guy and got blasted

oml I came so close to finishing the mission

[spare crest]

Is there a school mission?

[silk junco]

yes

[limpid cypress]

Just take your time and rely on the ai

Just have them clear the rooms

[river tide]

it’s a college campus

mission name is the elephant

[twin flax]

I have earned the achievement "The Hermit" but did not receive the diamond watch for it. Does anyone know why?

No officer died, but someone resigned. Could that be the reason?

[shy tulip]

Yes

[twin flax]

ohhhh noooo

Lets try again i guess ...

[sterile tiger]

What is the best weapon loadout all-round?

I am a more of an aggresive type of player who is more on distance

[rapid yew]

S-tier: 4.6, 5.56
A-tier: .300blk, 7.62x51(HP), 12G, 9x19
B-tier: 7.62x39, 5.7
F-tier: 45ACP

this is rated by DPS, the weapon matters very little

4.6mm is the easiest to use

you have 40 rounds which get spit out in just under 2 seconds

5-10 are enough to kill regardless of who you're shooting at

[sterile tiger]

Alr thanks man

[rapid yew]

5.56 does somewhat more damage but it's trickier to use

every weapon is fine except the HK416 which is the worst 5.56 in the game

300blk is just 5.56 with more recoil

7.62x51 hollow points kill in 1-2 shots to the chest but you have to have very good trigger control, you can't spray and pray

12G buck is 1-2 shot but you once again have to have good shot placement

9mm is the solid average, it's kinda ok but deals little damage

7.62x39 is like .300blk but with even more recoil, no real reason to use it except if you're a hardcore AK fan

5.7mm deals little to no damage and would be F-tier if it wasn't for the fact that the P90 is recoilless and has a 50rnd clip

45ACP is just worthless and you should never use it

suspects eat it like popcorn yet it has comparatively high recoil and a very low rate of fire

@sterile tiger

if you just want to have a good all around weapon just use any of the 100000 copypaste AR-15s

my personal favorite is the SR-16

[sterile tiger]

Appreciate it!

[misty island]

Shit game by shitty devs. Redo last mission only.

[stone stump]

opinion rejected

[rapid yew]

in this game it kind of is...

[acoustic ridge]

why cant i remove wedges with my multi tool, only started having this problem once i installed gunfighter, wondering if anyone else has a problem like this

[stone bay]

usually only have that sometimes in Multiplayer

then only the person who set the wedge can remove it

[acoustic ridge]

playing singleplayer right now, cant remove a wedge

[calm lily]

hey, I need some help with the Valley of the Dolls mission... ive been one-shotted twice during both my attempts, outta nowhere, neither heard nor seen anybody around and definitely didn't have a second to react. this never happened in other missions ive played so im not sure what im doing different, any advice?

[stone orbit]

How many percent will the discount be for Ready or not

[stone bay]

dont think its going to be less than 35 dollars

[stone bay]

shot from behind?

didnt clear all possible angles?

remember, suspects will hide under beds and shit

[calm lily]

No idea, I haven't even seen the person who shot, both times

[stone bay]

do you use door wedges?

[calm lily]

I was in the corner of a concrete wall

[calm lily]

No

[stone bay]

always bring em

2nd best tool right after your gun

[calm lily]

what do they do?

[stone bay]

they make it so doors cannot be opened by suspects

[calm lily]

oh wow

[stone bay]

on valley of the dolls right when you enter the buildign you want to wedge every room, then wedge the entrance door

and then you clear room by room

without having to worry about checking your back

[calm lily]

that sounds like a solid plan, I'll use it next time

Thanks 👍

[wispy cypress]

ngl multiplayer lobby finder is worse than l4d2

atleast there is 0 racism in ron..

[stone bay]

yeah about that

[ivory kiln]

I never really noticed recoil on 300 BLK

[wispy cypress]

ngl cant wait for bodycam pov movement mod in ron

like hand movement, head movement

[shy tulip]

that sounds like horrible torture

bodycam only works because both teams are full of idiots who can't aim properly

in RoN you would be against ai who see and shoot just fine

[rapid yew]

All you need to do is to remember the critical areas

But the most important thing is to NEVER enter the killzone which is the catwalk on the second story

Once you reach it, close and wedge the door leading to it, go back to the very beginning and, instead of entering the mansion, turn right and go down

Clear from there

[half crescent]

i still havent played it have you played it and if so can i ask about it?

[shy tulip]

I have not, I don't intend to either, it's a gimmick pvp game tbh. The only thing it does "differently" is just being a UE5 photorealistic game with jankier controls than a normal FPS.

Full time hatin

I think you can judge how far it'll go time wise just by lookin at the fact it's sunken under RoN

[half crescent]

something i'm considering is whether or not I can put CQB trained players in bodycam to work together or if it would be extremely jank and difficult. maybe someone will know

probably factoring in movement and voice attenuation

[crude prism]

Give me more games that take away total control from the player!!!!! It's more fun!!!!!!

(bodycam is not it tho, sorry)

[native rune]

Body cam seems like a game that’s fun for 6-8 hours total

The premise is very enjoyable, probably more than putting significant hours into actually playing it

[shy tulip]

The premise relied on them pushing the game out before Unrecord because pvp money

[native rune]

Modern game development be like

[stone bay]

I’m not entirely sure unrecord is even going to come out

[half crescent]

i like games that do this with extreme physics simulation or like ragdolls

[tacit gull]

Bodycam is pretty much just an asset flip that was thrown out so they can suck up the unrecord money

[kind imp]

there was a jerk circle

[tame orbit]

3rd time it’s been postponed, I got high hopes for this game. Hopefully it doesn’t get postponed again.

[thick ibex]

2 of them got kille and on the last room, anotehr died

So I had to rely on the last AI but the AI is kinda janky so the last AI died and I was left to 1v1 with the last suspect without any weapon

[elder parcel]

that mission got me

[rocky storm]

if you have jammer then block the door, suspect seens will stay in room for a short time when encounter blocked door.

[unkempt mountain]

as someone whos played it alot and has unironically played almost every tactical shooter
I think its really enjoyable and there isnt a single other pvp game that plays like it
super immersive and intense 5v5 matches. rn people hiding in the darkness and the shit controls gotta get improved tho

[stone stump]

bodycam filter =/= immersive

[winter orbit]

^ This

[potent abyss]

i haven't personally played it, but i already get turned off that it's called body cam

like that's the up front main selling point of it

[solid spoke]

Bodycam looks nauseating with all the motion blur and what not

[earnest phoenix]

isnt bodycam just ue5 asset pack slop

[solid spoke]

Im pretty sure it is

Not worth 30 dollars

[earnest phoenix]

yeah it looks interesting for like a match or two but its just tdm but ooo fancy graphics !!!!!!!

[solid spoke]

yeah it's not worth it

also I was wondering what you guys would think if VOID added the rest of the weapons to the arsenal

like the rest of the AKs and the battle rifles

[potent abyss]

honestly

i want wacky and silly weapons

like a lever action

[solid spoke]

real

I don't know if its only me but I feel like theres a million AR-15 variants with only a small amount of variety

[potent abyss]

i really like the arsenal of weapons already but i want a little silliness

[solid spoke]

I think the current arsenal is alright

[potent abyss]

like why not bring a sniper rifle in cqc?

[solid spoke]

I just feel like all the ARs feel the same

[potent abyss]

it makes sense. shoots bullets fast and straight, just which model you like most

[solid spoke]

true

[potent abyss]

i get it though. i just want an ounce of silliness

like having a musket

it takes 20 seconds to reload and everything

[solid spoke]

yeah I got the sniper or not mod and I had the most fun charging into the nightclub with an m249

even if some of the animations are jank and it's absolutely absurd for a PD to use belt fed machine guns

I just wish there was more variety besides a morbillion m4 variants

[potent abyss]

oh

how do i get gun mods into the game?

with the build in mod thing or nexus

[solid spoke]

Its on Nexus but technically speaking its not really a mod since the guns are already in the base game but the mod just lets you use them

here it is though

https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/3178

[potent abyss]

cheers

lemme find if there's anything for lever action or any guns

[solid spoke]

closest thing is an m24

still fun to quick scope though

[elder parcel]

They should honestly add a knife to the game, that way it'd make the game feel cooler whenever you wanna go John wick style.

[solid spoke]

true

[stone stump]

i'm sure bringing a knife to a gunfight is a great idea

and i'm sure police use knives as they definitely go well with the whole "preserve life" MO

[elder parcel]

Yeah, but the context is that if you want to have some fun and like I said "go John Wick style".

[solid spoke]

I just wish we could use the m14 and G3 in the base game

It would be cool

[stone stump]

both are completely unsuitable for CQB

[elder parcel]

Are the devs planning to make more missions or paid DLCS?

[solid spoke]

yeah but it would be cool

[stone stump]

the only thing they're actually planning is delaying DLCs

[elder parcel]

[stone stump]

and please read the announcements

[solid spoke]

like they're already in the game why not let people use them

[stone stump]

it doesn't work that way

the model is here, 3rd person animation is here, but that's about it

[solid spoke]

there are 1st person animations for most of the guns that the suspects use

[stone stump]

exactly, suspects use them

not you

[solid spoke]

but why not let players use them?

what would be the downside of adding more weapon variety

[tacit gull]

Because suspect guns are not player guns

The new update should have a new gun

[solid spoke]

but what defines a suspect gun?

they're up on the wall in the police armory

[tacit gull]

I'm not sure on the details but i think they have different stats, no recoil and cant take attachments by default

[elder parcel]

No recoil?

Wth?

[solid spoke]

no they definitely do

and alot of them actually have custom attachments

the only thing missing is animations or the right ammo count

[spare crest]

Do you have to install it or is it already in the game?

[supple prairie]

[it is] part of the game

[spare crest]

oh, thanks

[spare crest]

If I die in the mission, will the bots do the shit or do I have to restart?

[tacit gull]

Bots finishing the mission won't do anything

They'll get stuck anyway so dont bother

[spare crest]

FUCK I WAS DONE!

[versed marlin]

hello

what does that clipperthing do

[azure lily]

I'm stuck on valley of the dolls

[spare crest]

I JUST did it

[azure lily]

How?

[spare crest]

Luck

Like fr

[spare crest]

Elephant is easy

[thick ibex]

brothers I finished the Hospital mission.....

only took me 45 minutes and a bunch of braincells

[thick ibex]

1. Bring a shotgun
2. Always use flash and stingers before entering a room
3. If you're clearing the backyard, maybe let the AI do it or bring a riot shield just in case

you can't believe how happy I was after finishing Valley of the Dolls

[rocky storm]

with 30+ suspect we get hit hard.

2 human + 4 ai been suppressed

[split elk]

I wish we had the soundtrack

[bitter mason]

I wish the soundtrack was used a bit more in game
some levels the real meat of it kicks in too late

like in coyote the actual soundtrack only starts when you reach the end of the tunnels, so if you play the game properly, you very likely have finished the level by that point

[rocky storm]

suspect 43/54
rank F

dead again

dev channel update very fast
don't know when will be public.

[night pasture]

Oh we are getting one

[azure lily]

THANK YOU MAN THANK YOU

[thick ibex]

have you finished it?

[azure lily]

Not yet

[azure lily]

Not yet just booting up the game

[thick ibex]

also be careful if you're walking down/up the stairs and look carefully

[azure lily]

Tf

I just got kicked from the game

Uh

I don't remember actually

Yep it won't let me enter for some reason

[elder void]

Possibility of update this week?

I mean, can we just skip this bi-weekly thing already if devs keep failing to meet the briefing schedule???

Just give us info or anything as soon as it's available

[gaunt gale]

Well, it's not the Devs, it's us

They're breaking their backs, it's just mostly bug-fixing and cleanup, so it's not really anything substantial enough to make a newsletter about

[tacit gull]

The game sure needed it, even without an engine transition

But it would be nice to atleast pick up on the larger bugs and let people know they're being looked at

[umbral oar]

could you also tell us your sleep schedule in the next newsletter

[gaunt gale]

What's a sleep schedule?

[umbral oar]
