Ready or Not has an interesting arsenal or weapons with it being a hardcore tactical shooter.
Ready Or Not is the latest game made by VOID Interactive in which you play as a SWAT officer and carry out missions taking out dangerous hostiles. Of course, a SWAT operative has to have the right firearms to successfully complete a mission.
Though the game was just released last December, Ready Or Not’s arsenal is not that big, but it’s not lacking. There is still a number of guns ranging from assault rifles to pistols. There are even less lethal options as well for situations where you only have to subdue a suspect. Plus, the game and its devs are encouraging players to add more guns through mods.
