The Best Tactical Shooters Of All Time, Ranked

Tactical shooters are different from your run-of-the-mill FPS. These titles stand out as the best the genre has to offer.

Out of the 8 pistols featured, all of them have different drawbacks and advantages. Whether some of them are slow firing, hard-hitting, or for those with a happy trigger finger, everyone can find a pistol that they enjoy, although players might want to watch out for some over others before every mission in Ready or Not.

8 .375 Magnum

Limited Capacity, Slow Firing

.357 magnum pistol

This powerful revolver is limited to only six shots but boasts substantial power behind each one.

The worst pistol in Ready or Not is arguably the.375 Magnum, due to the fact that it’s more of a relic to look cool than an effective method of ending a hostile situation. Sure, the weapon can hit hard, and certainly cause damage to enemies from close up and far away, but that’s only if players can get off an accurate shot before they themselves are killed. The high recoil, slow reload, and the fact that an early reload will make players lose their unused bullets in the magazine, makes for a clumsy weapon that’s best avoided.

7 G19

Dependable With A High Capacity

Chambered in 9x19mm, the G19’s dependability and high capacity in an age when revolvers still ruled the world have found it a permanent home in public and private security agencies worldwide.

First-person shooters are a tough genre to get into if someone has never played them before. Some get so hard that they are nearly impossible.

An ammo capacity of 15 makes the G19 a solid choice, but not the best. There’s nothing inherently wrong with using this pistol, but it simply does not boast an advantage over other options that are seen in a higher regard, leaving the G19 as an average and reliable pistol for update 1.0.

6 Five Seven

Bypasses Body Armor At The Expense Of Handling

This modern, high capacity pistol boasts a proprietary cartridge with excellent penetration.

Whilst the Five Seven may suffer from the fact that it has poorer handling compared to other weapons in Ready or Not, the fact that it has the bullet capability and force to penetrate through armor makes it a great choice for those hostile situations that require a more skilled hand, and a more powerful gun. The Five Seven is great for missions where enemies are going to be plenty, as 20 bullets in a magazine allows for a rapid sense of fire in a small package.

5 M11 Compact

Robust & Accurate

Popular among law enforcement units, the M11 Compact is an accurate, reliable and robust 9mm pistol.

On appearance, the M11 Compact is the smallest pistol players can get in Ready or Not, but as Yoda says: size matters not. If players use the M11 Compact, then they are going to find themselves enjoying a very reliable weapon, one that can use the 15 bullets in its capacity to destroy anything at a rapid pace.

4 M45A1

Puts Down Targets With Ease

m45a1 pistol

An improved version of the 1911 developed to meet the requirements of special operation forces in the US military.

The M45A1 does not have the best ammo count in the world, with only 7 bullets for its capacity. However, the weapon more than makes up for it thanks to its stopping power. Players can expect a more versatile weapon, and the M45A1 has a great chance of incapacitation enemies instead of killing them after just one or two shots, making it reliable for taking out targets without unnecessary death.

3 TLE 1911

Semi-Automatic & Timeless

tle 1911

Custom 1911 variant made for the Los Suenos police department.

These video games are must-haves for John Wick fans, due to their exhilarating action, gameplay, and relatable story beats.

It’s rare to find a pistol that has already been customized, but the TLE 1911 just does that, permitting players to still equip other attachments for the scope and underbarrel. The TLE 1911 is another reliable choice, and thanks to a high capacity, players can unload bullets into their enemies, sufficiently taking out enemies that have no armor, or any of the three materials: Kevlar, ceramic, and steel.

2 USP45

Heavy Hitter With High Capacity

usp45

This German made pistol is chambered in.45 ACP and boasts a higher capacity than other handguns of its caliber.

With the choice of excellent iron sights and ergonomics, the USP45 cements itself as a great choice for the hardest missions in Ready or Not. Players can select this pistol as a reliable choice for their secondary weapon, and even tinker with it thanks to the scope, muzzle, and underbarrel attachments that they can use. With 12 bullets in each magazine, the USP45 has a great chance at incapacitating enemies, but if players want to become the judge, jury, and executioner, then it’s more than capable of taking targets out in quick succession.

1 B92SX

Precise & Reliable

b92sx pistol

The standard issued service pistol of the United States military for nearly thirty years.

There is a reason that the B92SX is proudly boasted as a successful weapon in Ready or Not, and that’s due to its efficiency. This pistol is one of the best guns in Ready or Not due to the fact that it has a high ammo count, an itchy trigger finger, and an easily controlled recoil. Players should definitely think about taking this pistol into the field, as it may just save their lives, even if they do not use any attachments or modifications.
