Mod Issue or Game Issue? (Ballistic Mask & Shield)

[gardenstater]

Hi all,

I got rid of all of my old mods, and downloaded a bunch of UE5 compatible mods. I now have two issues:
1) I cannot remove the ballistic mask in the loadout & customization screens
2) SWAT officers drop their ballistic shields whenever I tell them to deploy them

I figured the issue stemmed from ballistic mask mods & a shield mod, but I still had the problem when I removed them. I then manually removed all of my mods and still experienced both problems. I then played the game in safe mode and once again, same problems. I've tried verifying the integrity of my files. Still, same thing. I feel like I've tried everything that would make sense.

Is there a troubleshooting step I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Reset all their loadout to default

I was going to write back to say I've tried that, but I just tried it again, where it didn't work but then I switched to commander mode, where the problem doesn't exist, then I switched back to quick play and the problem's gone.

So thank you!

The officers still drop their shields when I command them to use them. Only in Quick Play mode & not commander mode. Anyone have any solutions, or know why this happening?

Probably an issue with mods you had earlier and then uninstalled, which messed up your loadout. You can delete the "mod saves" and the savefile containing your loadout if you want to try and fix it.

They are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ReadyOrNot\Saved\SaveGames\
Don't remove the achievement and levelstats file, but you can experiment with removing the others (take backups first).

Commander Mode, Campaign and i think QuickPlay too, all have their own loadouts...

So you actually have 3 setups for "Default"

If you're using any Mods that change the slots or any of your Gear, even if not fully advertised that way, that is why you're getting a Shield.
^ If the Mod is # of Slots (More Ammo or smthng) then your Options for gear like Wedge, C2, etc are expanded and you might now have Face Mask, and other SWAT Gear that you didn't before.

^ IT's a feature of the Mod you have installed if that's how it works.
