With the release of Boiling Point, all of us at VOID Interactive have thoroughly enjoyed seeing you gear up and deploy into this next chapter of Ready or Not. The reactions, the intensity, and seeing you experience the most tactical suspects Los Sueños has to offer have all been amazing. 

While we're thrilled to have Boiling Point out to the public, we’ve also been working to address some of the issues we’ve observed since launch. We’ve tackled performance issues, crashes, lighting issues, and more.
 
Please check our official Discord for an updated list of some known issues in the  #known-issues-and-fixes channel[discord.com].

We are continuously monitoring your bug reports. Please report any bugs you find into our official Ready or Not Discord, using the bug report channels! There they can be structured and collected in one place so we can most effectively deal with them: Ready or Not Bug Reports[discord.com]

Patch Day General FAQ:

1. Q: ‘My game mods broke on PC with this update, why did that happen?’

   > A: When Ready or Not or games in general release updates to the game, the files for the game in areas related to new game content or fixes then changes. If mods were using the old files to function that have since changed to new files, those mods will likely need to update in order to work properly with the new version of the game’s files.

2. Q: ‘Why does a patch download initially seem frustratingly large in data/gigabytes, even when the game doesn’t actually take up that much more storage when the download finishes’

   > A: Game service platforms such as Steam etc. may update games by overwriting the game's files with the new files to replace it. For example, this means a update download that initially shows as 6GB during the download may actually only expand the game by 1GB in size, since it is largely just overwriting old game files for the other 5GB of data.

3. Q: ‘Why does a patch take so long to download despite my fast internet’

   > A: Other routine checks that a game service platform does to confirm game file integrity on the local storage device (e.g. your hard drive such as a HDD or SSD) during a patch download can extend the perceived download size/time.

4. Q: ‘Why didn’t my game update yet on my console platform?'

   > A: Console platforms do not necessarily support auto-updates, so you may have to trigger the update manually within your game library with an internet connection.

We're receiving reports of an attack that was just executed at La Costa Park. We're briefing officers as quick as possible and SWAT is gearing up to deploy. Strap in, because the situation across Los Sueños is rapidly escalating.

Warning: The content in the teaser is extremely harrowing, but critical to the unfolding story of Los Sueños, the LSPD, and D Platoon.

Our next DLC is titled Boiling Point:

The relentlessly debased city of Los Sueños faces an existential crisis when a subversive terror attack severs any remaining faith in what's become an ineffective and overwhelmingly militarized city government.Tune in to Future Game Show on March 12th @ 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 8 PM GMT / 9 PM CET for the full trailer and details.

We recently released a new episode of Down The Rabbit Hole. Our hosts Shayne & Issac begin their dive into the world of the Los Locos drug trade. It all begins at the memorable houses on 213 Park. 

Since our last community exhibit, we've been watching the mod scene closely, and some downright excellent maps have been released.


1. Tombstones by CptLensFlares

A serene and snowy wooded landscape turns to chaos as armed suspects driving a stolen vehicle come to a sudden stop just on the edge of the forest. Not only is this map gorgeous to look at, the slow trudge through the snow with relatively little cover means that every foot-step is an exceptional exercise in building tension. As you plunge deeper into the woods, it all culminates in an excellent, and dangerous, finale that we don't want to spoil. Bring a shield for this one. Great work all around!

2. Operation Bear Claw by Aku74Enter a shipping warehouse under the cover of night to take down a mid-level cartel member. The warehouse's ceilings make the space feel deceptively open. On the ground you'll be faced with rows of shelves blocking line-of-sight and making threat assessment extremely difficult. Step carefully and finish the mission.

Welcome to the 89th edition of our Ready or Not Development Briefing, February 13th, 2026! 

With elbows deep working on the game before and after this December studio holiday, a period of time adjusting our QA workflows, and introducing a Community Manager here, we’re back for another RoN development briefing with a new game patch on its way shortly. 
 
We are working toward supporting RoN for years to come, in the process of sorting through dozens of new exciting features to slate for future updates and keeping eyes out/working through more bugs to fix. 

Bugfixes are a top focus for us. Speaking of which, the patch we are releasing in the near future will contain over 200 bugfixes. These include many SWAT AI fixes, suspect fixes, CS gas fixes/improvements (particularly noticeable on Hard Difficulty), and visual fidelity fixes. A release date announcement and further details will arrive in the following weeks.   

Note: These development briefings serve to keep you in the loop about parts of our ongoing support for Ready or Not. However, the briefings do not encompass everything that we’re working on at a given moment. Please keep in mind that the content in our development briefings may still be a work in progress and subject to change. 

Listed under this section is just a small sample of the fixes that are incoming. The full, much larger changelog will go out when the patch is released for download. 

Base game features and content will be coming with this patch too. Among them are the multi-attachment system highlighted in the Vol. 88 dev briefing, improved quality of life for mission and loadout selection in quickplay/multiplayer, and some surprises. 

We have refined our internal patch structure and triage process to help address bugs with high degrees of player affliction, which will also help deal with legacy bugs. 

Thank you to those of you who have been using our official Discord’s #bug-report-forum channel, as several of these legacy type bugs are able to be easily corroborated with player reports in there. 

Certain bugs, such as bugs that cause graphical fidelity issues, were related to our previous build server setup. There were two main types of fidelity bugs: lightmap bugs and level of detail (LOD) bugs. Lightmaps are how light/shadows for static objects are ‘baked’ into the game to enhance the fidelity of textures to give them increased detail, whereas LODs involve multiple stages of model detail often used discretely at different viewing distances as a traditional way to optimize performance in games.  

Although we fixed lightmap related issues in previous patches, the remaining issues were largely Level of Detail (LOD) related bugs that were created by multifaceted means when our internal ‘development builds’ were compiled and ‘built’ into ‘shipping builds’ that are released to the public. In some cases lower fidelity LOD models were being used in circumstances where they were not appropriate. We have now moved to an entirely new build server system and are working through remaining LOD issues that have yet to be fixed. 

Sample of the fixes in the upcoming patch: 
(Once again: this section is just a small sample of the fixes that are incoming. The full, much larger changelog will go out when the patch is released for download.) 

• Fixed issue where SWAT AI was not following commands when bumping into each other, the player, other AI, or certain level geometry, after the command was issued. If this happened, SWAT AI would also stop following subsequent commands, assuming the same command was still active. 

• Fixed SWAT AI sometimes getting stuck when trying to breach and clear a double door that is open towards them. 

• Fixed SWAT AI sometimes failing to execute open and breach commands, when too many commands are issued in quick succession. 

• Fixed SWAT disarming bomb vests of civilians resulting in the civilian wearing the bomb vest being unable to surrender. 

• Fixed third person animation sliding while swapping weapons for SWAT and suspects.

• Fixed instances where suspects were able to step out of a CS gas cloud before getting affected by the gas. 

• Fixed suspects/civilians being unable to surrender while getting pepper sprayed. 

• Fixed suspects at times raising their guns while stunned, making rules of engagement confusing (i.e. while they are influenced by less lethal effects or about to surrender). 

• Fixed Supporter Edition Code button generating an incorrect code. 

• (Steam) Fixed frequent and repeated achievement progression popups. 

• (Xbox) Fixed voice chat not working when unplugging and replugging a gamepad mid session. 

• Fixed frequent crashes when skipping back and forth through a replay’s timeline. 

• (Xbox) Fixed LOD issues of various pieces of evidence in the evidence locker. 

• Fixed SWAT AI being unable to breach and clear one of the tunnel entrances on Twisted Nerve. 

• Fixed AI sometimes sinking through or getting stuck on one of the staircases on Greased Palms. 

• Fixed blood particles getting stuck in mid-air in several spots on Valley of the Dolls. 

• Fixed blood particles getting stuck in mid-air in several spots on Lawmaker. 

• Fixed SWAT AI officer running off when ordered to clear one of the underground hallways on Carriers of the Vine. 

• Fixed bullet casings getting stuck in mid-air. 

• Fixed volumetric lighting breaking when restarting missions while wearing active NVGs. 

• Fixed beanbag shotgun’s inconsistent recoil return rate. 

Plus: 

• Many more bugfixes to SWAT AI’s ability to breach and clear rooms or doors across various levels. 

• ~200 more fixes 

Also helping to facilitate our support for RoN into the future is our new community manager, Austin, aka eyyohbee! He will be helping to maintain ongoing communications with y’all in our public platforms and helping to host any community or creator activities that we may do. 
 

We’ll let him formally introduce himself here and we invite you all to join us for a warm welcome! 

Hey everyone! 

My name is Austin, aka eyyohbee, and I'm the new community manager at VOID Interactive! 

I'm stoked to be joining the team, and you, on the incredible journey that Ready or Not has been for the last decade. For the past few years, I've watched as the team expanded RoN into one of the grittiest and most immersive tactical shooters in the world. As I watched from the sidelines, playing the game, and diving into the expansive RoN lore, I knew I wanted to be a part of it if I could! 

I'm thankful for the opportunity and looking forward to working with both the team and the community to continue building RoN into the defining tactical shooter of our generation!

Thank you all for attending this briefing, and we’ll see you in the upcoming videos and posts leading up to the next patch and in the years more to come! Keep an eye out for our CM eyyohbee and please join us in giving him a warm welcome!

It's been two years since Ready or Not went into its full 1.0 release. A lot has changed for the LSPD over the years. The community has grown exponentially, but crime continues to hit Los Sueños. 

In the near future, we look forward to sharing more about what's coming with Ready or Not in 2026, especially with regards to future patches and the upcoming DLC that is planned for next year. For the moment, we'll focus on reflecting back. Thank you to everyone that showed up and thank you to everyone that continues to play Ready or Not. 

To give a clear idea of just how much your service has gone towards supporting citizens of Los Sueños, we have the stats to back it up. 

After completing 112 million missions across the Los Sueños area, the performance of D Platoon team has averaged with a C-rank. That does leave room for improvement, yet realistically not every mission can be S-Rank even under the best of situations and the best of intel. 

Of those 112M completed missions, the relative difficulty has varied widely for each team. One in five officers prefers responding to situations of lower volatility. Meanwhile nearly 10% of active LSPD SWAT have opted to take on the most dynamic situations. No matter where you land on preferences, your services are to be commended for taking the step towards ensuring the safety and security of your fellow citizens and bringing order to chaos. 

In fact, from those who are the most vulnerable and need your help, nearly 9 out of 10 civilians across every completed mission have been accounted for and brought out of harm's way. Of the suspects who could not be talked down and persisted in endangering life, nearly 3 out of 4 succumbs to lethal force of our LSPD SWAT officers. 

As we look back on previous mission calls, here are the areas where our LSPD officers are most often deployed across Los Sueños: The San Uriel Condominiums, 4U Gas Stations in South Los Sueños, the postal facility in East Los Sueños, the Clemente Hotel district in Downtown Los Sueños, and a private residence in Los Clemente.  

It's lonely to go it alone, take command.

In celebration of our second-year anniversary, we've been working on a limited edition 'Weight Of The Badge' Collection featuring several items that are truly exclusive and only available in this collection including the Entry Team Breaching Statue, Collector's Edition 2-LP Vinyl, MLO patch, and the Ready or Not Artbook.

The Weight of the Badge Collection is available for purchase now. Delivery will occur in batches as the orders are received between now and through the end of February. Check out the collection here:

The latest on lore from Shayne and Issac is back with Lore Episode 6. In this concluding chapter on the USIA, Shayne and Issac are talking about everything around the connection between the USIA and the MLO and bring to the forefront all the known conspiracies for each of these groups.

Fan creations are a very special part of our community, and below are a few of our favorites from the years. There’s also a new arrival in the form of a group of LSPD cosplayers with a custom ballistic shield prop! We made sure they got some LSPD Officer badges to go with their kits.

As we close out 2025, and our second year of Ready or Not in full release, we're forever grateful to our community who've been with us since the beginning and the new recruits that are making Ready or Not the quintessential tactical shooter. At the close of this year, we are now at nearly 14 million SWAT officers across our PC and console platforms. 

Going forward, we can’t wait to share more on what is coming for Ready or Not, see what the community brings to the table as we update the game, until then stack up and clear out.

Welcome to the 88th Ready or Not Development Briefing, Oct 31st, 2025! 

Happy Halloween officers, whether you’ll be suited up for a mission tonight or trick or treating.  

In this briefing, we’ll be outlining a shift in our Quality Assurance department, with new onboarding and expansion of the team working toward more fixes for the game. 

There’s also some new details to show about the current state of our multi-attachment rail system, and an explanation for dev briefing schedules going forward on a by-announcement basis.  

Note: These development briefings serve to keep you in the loop about parts of our ongoing support for Ready or Not, however the briefings do not encompass everything that we’re working on at a given moment. Please keep in mind that the content in our development briefings may still be a work in progress and subject to change

This autumn we began the process of shifting and expanding our existing internal Quality Assurance department and teams to aid in providing future game fixes.  

The first step is the onboarding of new QA members who will continue to help our other departments fix bugs and verify new features are functioning appropriately. 

This is an intensive hand-off period involved with QA teams and other departments as their work is intimately tied to in-depth understanding of game documentation and systems.  

Part of the learning process of launching on multiple platforms is that we have requirements to test multiple consoles and storefronts. There are now specific certification quality requirements and verification timelines alongside general testing across systems for unique issues that could pop up.  

Therefore, QA testing for us is now twofold: functional testing (ensuring features are working and verifying bugs to be fixed) and certification testing (ensuring we meet quality requirements for each individual platform or system). 

Expanding this QA department, especially adding a dedicated certification-specific QA team that allows our functional QA testing team to continue testing new features or bugs simultaneously, is central to our game update strategy going forward. 

One of the upcoming major features that we can show right now is the multi-attachment rail system for a future update.

At its most basic level, this system will allow you to equip and operate multiple barrel attachments at once, i.e. a red laser and flashlight together.

The barrel multi-attachment feature went through some other slight expansion since we last mentioned it. You can look forward to some extra quality of life improvements and amenities than were planned before, and it now serves as a framework for long-term scalability on weapon platform features. 

Some attachments such as the PEQ-15 are multi-functional, with the PEQ-15 having the option to swap between visible laser and IR laser as an all-in-one package.  

(Images: Screenshots of various weapons with red laser and flashlight simultaneously equipped) 

(Image below: PEQ-15 on a MK17 activating a red laser instead of what was previously only its IR laser)

A new miscellaneous attachment slot allows for canted iron sights to be mounted onto weapons for precision target acquisition in canted mode.
Meanwhile our Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) such as the ATAK-R 1-12x have the updated ability to switch between different magnification levels. Or go compact with a new red dot sight with 3x magnifier option. 

(Image below: Looking down the new canted ironsight can provide better accuracy and muzzle manueverability in tight spaces) 

(Image below: New red dot 3x magnification combo. Take away a bit of your horizontal line of sight for some emergency magnification) 

Certain weapons like the MP9 SMG have low rail space, so it’s worth considering how visually bulky you want your weapon profile to be as well as what space you have when deciding on these sorts of attachments 

As a bonus, players may choose to add carry handles to select weapons which typically support them, such as the G36C and currently MK18 for the AR side. On the G36C the carry handle offers additional rail space for larger optics at the sacrifice of extra height-over-bore. Both MK18 and G36C customizations offer an iconic profile.

(Image below: G36C w/ carry handle optic and multiple barrel attachments) 

(Image slideshow below: MK18 w/ carry handle and G36C option without carry handle) 

These development briefings are now going to be on a by-announcement basis rather than a fixed schedule. This means sometimes it will take longer between briefs than our previous 4-week schedule and that sometimes we might make dev brief posts on a quicker schedule if necessary. 

There are a couple reasons for this new schedule: 

The first reason is that we want to continue to prioritize the ability to give you dev briefs when they're ready. 

Secondly, we recognize that since we’re well past 1.0 launch, there are fewer simultaneous major system changes across the game that can regularly be shown off and alternated between.  

This way there is an expectation of more flexibility on our team for when they might drop, with the added benefit of maintaining quality per dev briefing. 

Thank you for sticking with us as we continue to work towards more fixes for the game. The upcoming flexibility that our multi-attachment system will offer meanwhile will help you best configure and utilize loadouts for each mission. We’ll see you in the next briefing.

One last thing, our next line of merch is rolling out including patches, pins, mouse pads, and desk mats-- with more to come.
