Hunger Strike is a mission that belongs to the Los Suneos Stories free expansion in Ready or Not, where a Mexican restaurant is raided by some armed suspects trying to steal money from it.
Ready or Not: All Missions In Order
Ready or Not features 18 maps in total, and players will want to play them in a certain order if they want to understand the bigger picture.
The vibes of the mission are quite close to those of Thank You, Come Again, the very first mission in the Ready or Not campaign. However, the map for Hunger Strike is a little bigger and more complex. Depending on the difficulty level, the suspects' behavior will be different. That said, it's still best to force them to surrender, though it's not always possible.
All Hunger Strike Objective Locations In Ready Or Not
There are two objectives to collect in Hunger Strike. It's strongly recommended to choose the parking lot as the entry point of the team before launching the mission, as it is pretty close to the first objective.
Once the SWAT team is spawned, head towards the van that is parked next to the restaurant's backdoor. You will notice that the van's rear doors are open, and it's filled with cash. Inspecting the cash will tick the first objective.
Now, open the restaurant's door behind the van. Try to clear it using a flashbang, as there will be a few armed suspects inside. Take control of the room, and you will find a door leading to a staircase at the farthest end. There will be at least two suspects upstairs. So, make sure to clear it with flashbang again or bring the team with you.
Head inside the first room upstairs and then take a right and enter the second room. Next to the boss's desk, you will find a white device with lots of trash next to it. Inspecting the device will conclude this objective as well, but the mission will not be over unless you kill or arrest all the suspects.
Keep in mind that to get the S-rank in this mission, you will need to arrest all suspects alive. Also, no civilian or officer should be dead. Even friendly-fire will prevent you from reaching S-rank. Lastly, all weapons should be collected as evidence, and all civilians and suspects should be handcuffed.
Best Build For Hunger Strike In Ready Or Not
The map in this mission is filled with small rooms, which forces close-quarter combat. As such, using a shotgun is quite deadly, especially when clearing upstairs.
The corridors are quite narrow, and a reckless shot with a shotgun can result in you damaging your own squadmates.
The suspects will mainly use SMGs or pistols. There are no suspects with melee weapons, which is why you won't be surprised by attacks from behind.
Lethal Loadout
- Primary: 590M (Shotgun)
- Sidearm: PC19 (Pistol)
- Equipment: Tactical Shield
- Armor: Heavy
- Throwables: Flashbang (3x)
- Facewear: Anti-Flash Goggles
Although its pump-action nature may not make it usable instantly after shooting, the 590M is still the best shotgun in the game; it's pretty powerful for both close-range and mid-range engagements. Since enemies can hide from peeking angles through a door in some rooms, the Tactical Shield will prove to be a great piece of equipment to use alongside PC19 in order to force yourself inside a room without taking severe damage.
There will be no traps in this mission, which is why carrying a mirrorgun is almost useless.
Non-Lethal Loadout
- Primary: VPL-25 (Assault Rifle)
- Sidearm: TRPL (Pistol)
- Equipment: M320 Flash
- Armor: Heavy
- Throwables: Flashbang (3x)
- Facewear: Gas Mask
Regardless of what mission you are playing, this is the best non-lethal loadout. There is only one non-lethal weapon in each category, which prevents flexibility. As such, drilling enemies with the VPL-25 will force them to surrender and drop their weapons, but doing so without a prior flashbang would be quite risky.
That's why it's quite important to bring three flashbangs as well as a flash launcher to immobilize enemies.
