You just wrapped up a tense mission in *Ready or Not*, cleared every room, neutralized all threats, and rescued the hostages—only to see the frustrating message “Mission Not Complete.” It’s beyond annoying, but you’re not alone. Many players encounter this issue, especially in co-op. Here's how to resolve it and get back to playing without unnecessary setbacks.
How to Fix ‘Mission Not Complete’ in Ready or Not
1. Double-Check All Objectives
Before assuming the game is glitched, make sure you’ve completed every objective listed. Sometimes, even if you feel confident you did everything, one small detail might have been missed.
To verify your progress:
Press Tab to open the mission menu and review each objective. If any are marked as incomplete (in red), investigate further. Commonly overlooked tasks include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians: Any incapacitated individual must be reported by interacting with them (default key F).
- Securing evidence: Weapons, explosives, or other dropped items need to be picked up and secured properly.
- Completing optional objectives: Some missions require extra steps like disabling alarms or cameras.
- Rescuing all hostages: Ensure no civilian remains bound or unaccounted for.
Fix: Walk through the map again and double-check for any missed interactions or secured items.
2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
In multiplayer, the mission will only end if all players vote to conclude. If one person misses the prompt or doesn’t respond, the mission won't complete.
How to fix:
- Remind everyone to press Y when the vote appears.
- If someone is AFK, consider waiting or removing them from the session.
- If the vote screen doesn’t appear, try restarting the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, the game simply fails to register that an objective was completed. This can happen due to sync issues or bugs.
Known issues include:
- Weapons not registering as secured.
- Hostages not being marked as rescued despite interaction.
- Objectives remaining red even after meeting their conditions.
Solutions:
- Restart the mission and attempt again.
- In co-op, switch the host to see if the issue resolves on another machine.
- Verify the integrity of your game files via Steam: Right-click *Ready or Not* > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
4. Restart the Mission (The Classic Fix)
If none of the above works, the best course of action may be to restart the mission. While not ideal, Ready or Not is still actively updated, and occasional mission completion bugs are expected.
Use this method when all else fails—it’s often the quickest way to move forward.
Final Thoughts
Getting stuck with a “Mission Not Complete” error can break immersion and slow down your progress. But by carefully checking objectives, coordinating votes, and troubleshooting bugs, you’ll minimize frustration and stay focused on what matters—playing the game.
Ready or Not is available now on PC.
