Ready or Not is a hardcore tactical FPP shooter video game which is quite popular among the public because of the intense and strategic mechanics of the game. The game was launched on 17th December, 2021 which depicts a modern-day world in which SWAT police units are called to defuse hostile and confronting situations. The game is available on Steam, so get your Ready or Not Steam key from LootBar and start playing.
Being an FPP shooter game, the most important thing that will decide your outcome and effectiveness in certain encounters is the weapon loadout. With a wide range of weapons, armor types, ammunition options and tactical gears available, both new and returning players face certain difficulties in choosing the right choice of weapons and gears. While the game encourages you to adopt flexibility while picking your weapons for different situations, there are certain loadouts that work consistently well across every mission. In this guide, we will provide you with the best universal weapon, armor and gear loadout that players can rely on regardless of the mission’s size, map or situation.

Weapons
Starting with our first loadout setup slot, the weapon setup. As you know, each of the weapons in the game that uses traditional ammunition is considered to be lethal and can either be loaded with AP (Armor Penetration) rounds or JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) rounds. While the AP rounds are designed for armored targets, the JHP is well suited for unarmored targets. So, in short, it doesn’t matter which weapon they use, they will still get good results.
But the priority changes when it comes to recoil management, better control and armor penetration. Each weapon has both its advantages and disadvantages. For example, Weapons that use 5.56 x 45mm or .300 Blackout have lower recoil in comparison to the 7.62 x 51mm weapons that makes them more easy to control for follow up shots. When it comes to armor penetration, the rifle rounds are considered to be the best. What we are aiming in the best weapon is 2 factors:
- Easy to use with light recoil and more control
- Capable of penetrating even armored targets
Considering these 2 factors, the best weapon choices that let you complete missions comfortably are:
- ARWC
- MK18
- G36C
- MCX
Heavy-caliber rifles that work situationally well are G3A3 and SA-58 that shine in missions that require taking down heavy armor targets such as Ides of March and Neon Tomb. It is suggested to use them in semi-auto to avoid the high recoil in close range. Get your LootBar game key and start practicing with these weapons.
Pistols and SMGs
These are your sidearms or better call them the secondary weapons. Among any other pistols, the Five-Seven is arguably the strongest pistol with a huge 20 round magazine that fires 5.7mm rounds. This weapon is also exceptionally well in armor penetration. Coming to SMG, the P90 SMG is the best suited one with the same features as the Five Seven pistol like armor penetration, huge magazine capacity, and uses 5.7mm ammunition.
Armor
In Ready or Not, Armors are divided into two categories – Light and Heavy, where each have their unique benefits and trade-offs.
- Light Armor: Faster movements, less coverage (arms and groin are exposed in light armor).
- Heavy Armor: Slower movement, maximum body protection.
Armor Materials is another important aspect of armor building where players can customize the type of protection their armor will provide in the game. In Ready or Not, there are three armor materials you can choose from:
- Kevlar: The Kevlar provides high mobility but has limited protection against rifle rounds
- Steel: Steel is excellent for protection against all types of ammunition and rounds but the only downside is its heavy weight.
- Ceramic: The Ceramic material focuses on a balance of strong protection and moderate weight but it can break after a certain threshold of damage.
Choosing the right armor material for specific situational missions is important. In my opinion, the Steel heavy armor is the best one because of the massive protection if the weight and the slow movement speed does not matter for you. For missions like The Elephant and Relapse, kevlar or ceramic turns to be the better option.
Grenades and Tactical Gears
For the grenade pick, these two are definitely the best picks out there:
- Flashbangs - The Flash bangs are a universally useful utility that can stun targets even behind covers and are far safer for teammates compared to the Gas.
- CS Gas - Extremely powerful in specific missions like Greases Palms, but require gas masks to avoid slowing your team.
For the gears, the most reliable long tactical tool for any loadout is the Mirrorgun (Optiwand) that allows players to safely gather intel before entering rooms, reducing the risk of ambushes. Having at least one of them in the team dramatically improves safety. Other options are: Breaching Shotgun, Ballistic Shield, or M320 Launcher.
Best Loadout Option
In summary, here is the best loadout option that universally works for all kinds of mission in the game:
Primary Weapon | MCX |
Secondary Weapon | Five Seven |
Grenade | Flashbangs |
Tactical Gear | Mirrorgun |
Armor | Heavy steel armor |
Conclusion
In conclusion, whether you are a newbie or an experienced player, having a balanced setup not only improves your survivability but also helps you maintain control and complete the mission with higher ratings.
