Mastering Ready or Not's Arsenal: A Tier List of the Best Weapons
Ready or Not demands tactical precision and strategic firepower. Weapon choice is paramount, whether you're clearing rooms, engaging in intense firefights, or subduing suspects. This guide ranks the best weapons in Ready or Not, categorized for clarity.
Assault Rifles: The Balanced Powerhouses
Assault rifles offer a blend of firepower, accuracy, and control.
-
GA416: The GA416 is exceptionally well-rounded, boasting smooth handling, excellent accuracy, and substantial stopping power. Effective at both close and long ranges, its low recoil ensures accurate follow-up shots. Extensive customization options further enhance its versatility.
-
MK18: Known for its exceptional smoothness and built-in scope, the MK18 excels at mid-range engagements. Its compact design makes it ideal for close-quarters combat, while its accuracy shines during tap-firing. While less potent at longer distances, its customizability makes it highly adaptable.
-
SA-58: For sheer damage output, the SA-58 reigns supreme. Its high-impact rounds can one-shot enemies, but its significant recoil demands precise trigger control. This isn't a spray-and-pray weapon; accuracy is key to maximizing its lethality.
SMGs: Speed and Mobility
Submachine guns prioritize speed and maneuverability.
-
MPX: (Note: The original text lists the M24 here, a sniper rifle, which is an error. This section has been corrected to reflect the likely intended SMG.) The MPX is a strong contender in this category, offering a balance of firepower and mobility. (Further details on the MPX's stats would be needed for a more precise ranking.)
-
P90: The P90's massive 50-round magazine makes it ideal for sustained fire and room clearing. Its manageable recoil and decent range for an SMG, combined with its high rate of fire, make it a formidable weapon for aggressive players.
Non-Lethal Options: Restraint and Control
These tools are crucial for subduing suspects without lethal force.
-
R7 Launcher: This area-of-effect weapon fires pepper balls, causing incapacitation through irritation. Excellent for crowd control and flushing enemies from cover.
-
Taser: The Taser provides quick, non-lethal takedowns. Its laser pointer aids accuracy, but precise aiming is crucial due to limited shots.
Pistols: Reliable Sidearms
A dependable sidearm is essential for emergencies.
- B92SX: This well-balanced pistol offers high ammo capacity and smooth recoil. Its speed and accuracy make it a reliable backup weapon.
Shotguns: Close-Quarters Domination
Shotguns excel in close-range combat.
-
M1014: The M1014 is a semi-automatic powerhouse, perfect for breaching and close-quarters combat. While accuracy isn't its strength, its devastating close-range power makes up for it.
-
B1301 “Entryman”: Designed for hostage rescue, the B1301 boasts a unique bolt design that reduces muzzle climb, enabling faster, more accurate follow-up shots. Ideal for tight spaces and quick breaching.
