This is new in Ready or Not
In the last update in February, Ready or Not already brought a new map with Club, but it still consists mostly of gray boxes. The brand new map is called Brisa Cove and looks fully worked out.
It goes to luxury apartments that have been hijacked by terrorists. So far, only one mode is available to play, which involves barricaded suspects and hostages.
It’s in the March update
Let’s look at what’s new in the Ready or Not March patch. After buyers of the expensive Supporter Edition initially got access, the update is now available to all players.
- New weapons: With the M32A1 grenade launcher for Flashbang rounds and the M320 for Flash, Stinger and Gas, players have new tactical options for non-lethal overpowering of suspects.
- New function: SWAT officers can now shoulder and carry shackled suspects and civilians out of the line of fire. So far you could only push the NPCs to the side.
- New AI armament: NPC opponents can wear and detonate bomb belts in certain scenarios and maps.
- New view option: Night vision sight users now have a choice of white or green light.
- New sounds: More SWAT and NPC actions now emit their own sounds. For example, the knife attacks now have specific sounds.
In addition, the update for Ready or Not is packed with other improvements, including physics, maps, network, performance and bug fixing. on Steam you can read the full patch notes.
