Summary
- Ready Or Not has an active modding community creating new maps for the game beyond official expansions.
- Newly added community maps like Kabul Compound offer unique settings and challenges like neutralizing threats in Afghanistan.
- Maps created by modders, such as A Florida Man, feature engaging storylines and scenarios for players to experience.
Ready Or Not has received two expansions so far, each one adding three new maps to the game. However, players don't always need to wait for official content from the developers, as the game already has an active modding community releasing a variety of content for the game.
While creating maps is not as easy as weapons or armor pieces, Ready Or Not modders have already put a lot of hours into crafting new maps, whether they are remakes of the game's own maps from the Early Access period, inspired by other games like SWAT or Rainbow Six, or purely concepted by modders themselves.
Ready Or Not: Best Weapons, Ranked
The best weapons in Ready or Not range from all categories of guns, but which of them will see players survive the challenging hostile encounters?
7 Kabul Compound
A Trip To The Middle East
Kabul Compound is the only map on the list that takes place somewhere outside the United States. This is, of course, nothing like a task for a SWAT unit, but it is still set on a small compact map with similar rules and objectives.
Unfortunately, not many details have been provided for the map in its descriptions to give some sort of story background to the players, but the squad is tasked with neutralizing all the threats inside a small building in Afghanistan, which is assumed to be the home to a terrorist cult.
6 Apartment Of Horrors
A Cemetery Of Dreams
Apratment Of Horrors is a small but compact map, where the officers are about to witness some horrible scenes. The entire map is a multi-level house that is raided by SWAT officers during the night. The house is assumed to be the home of some human traffickers who are believed to be responsible for many lost lives.
Ready Or Not: Best Mods To Try Out
Ready or Not featured hundreds of mods, some which can add new layers of fun to the game upon its 1.0 release.
The atmosphere in Apartments of Horrors is quite captivating. It might not be a difficult map to clear for the Ready Or Not veterans, but it is one of those maps that will crush the player from inside, seeing how people have been baited in an attempt to reach their dream life.
5 Private Airport
A Support Operation To Rescue Fellow Officers
Private Airport is a faithful remake of the Operation Falcon Hour and Operation Talon Steel from Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Following a failed attempt to arrest a drug cartel, some of the operators die, while some others are taken hostage in a private airport.
The player's squad drops onto the map as a support unit to eliminate all the suspects and bring the hostages back home before they are executed by the cartel members. Private Airport is a relatively big map, and the modders have used high-quality textures while trying to remain authentic to its source of inspiration.
4 Downtown 22nd Street
Investigating An Assault At A Subway Station
Unlike most official and community maps of Ready or Not that take place inside buildings, this map takes players to the depths of a subway station. The mission starts in the downtown area of the city, with the squad investigating back alleys and a subway station.
Ready or Not: 12 Tips and Tricks for Beginners
To succeed in Ready or Not, you need to be alert at all times.
This is one of those maps that really has the potential to become to source of inspiration for an official map by VOID Interactive, as crowded locations like subway stations feel perfect for Ready or Not scenarios. The suspects have hijacked a train, and the mission leads players into an intense fight inside the train wagons.
3 Shattered Nerve
When A Veteran Sniper Turns Rogue
Shattered Nerve is a modified version of the Twisted Nerve map. Shattered Nerve takes place during daylight, when the suspect flees into a two-floor house. It doesn't seem like a big deal for the SWAT squad until they realize that the suspect is a former GWOT sniper and is actively shooting.
This makes the mission quite difficult, as approaching the building becomes a problem for the units. The player deploys far from the building and needs to get inside from one of the various possible entries. But the building itself also has many rooms and hiding spots, which require careful clearing.
2 A Florida Man
An Intense Hostage Situation
A Florida Man is a small map, but it comes with an interesting plot. Following a series of home invasions in the neighborhood, the raiders break into a house and take an old man hostage. While 911 seeks to resolve the situation with negotiators, the talks fail, and suspects threaten to kill the hostage.
This is when the SWAT squad comes into play. The unit is tasked with rescuing the only hostage, who is a veteran of the Korean War. The map consists of a relatively small home as well as a parked trailer in the backyard, all of which need to be investigated.
The good thing about this map is that it also features a secondary scenario that takes place almost a year after the hostage situation. The second scenario is a night operation.
1 Lustful Remorse
Raiding The House Of Evil
Lustful Remorse is a map that was released by Ready or Not modders when the game was still in the early access phase. The SWAT unit is tasked with sneaking inside a pub, which is assumed to be the hideout for the gang, suspected of taking hostage possibly 8 people who have been reported missing.
The map's design is amazing. There is really no difference in the quality of this map and the official maps in Ready or Not. It's a complicated layout, and the enemies are perfectly scattered around the map, which makes it challenging to clear the pub with the full score.
