SWAT Commander Plays Ready or Not with REAL SWAT TACTICS | 23 Megabytes | Full Release 1.0 

once you bring order to chaos, the command to search room/ area should change to search and secure. that will get your team to pick up everything missed and zip tie any suspects or civilians yet to be zip-tied. its super helpful at the end of a mission to get a better score.

First sentence already made me crack up. “Ok, RON. It appears to be ready” 😂

For people who didn’t catch on Chris missed the 911 call in the briefing of someone claiming to be Michael and shot his mother and going to shoot his brother but in reality he was just streaming and playing his game that was the gunshots sounds and as you go in his mother is fine and they’re all caught off guard, turns out he was apparently running that illegal server farm with a few people my guess is somebody watching his stream attempted to do a prank and it went South as they do, PS forgot to say they found the CP he had and that leads to the other missions about CP

Great vid as always. A new feature in 1.0 often overlooked is the ability to command surrendered suspects and civilians, look at them and use the command key as you would with officers. You can order them to move to you, move to a specific spot, or tell them to face away from you, drastically reducing the chance they'll pull a secondary weapon on you.

Great stuff. Once you get used to controls you'll automatically know what to do and do it much faster. Usually i'd split my guys into two groups (you can do this by moving the scrollwheel on your mouse), you can split them into red and blue teams, then tell them to clear the same room if it has multiple entrances. Much higher chance of suspects surrendering that way. Also, using wedges on doors to prevent suspects flanking or to box them in is VERY helpful. Some other useful advice: - equip all your guys with flashbangs - dont use stingers as they can hurt civillians - gas can be good but then you'd need a gasmask, up to you - after you split your guys, use one group to always cover behind you or left/right - enemies can see flashlights and lasers, if you peak a door with either of them on, they'll panic and shoot you through the door/wall - best thing to do when clearing a room is to tell your guys to clear and flash, if they just clear with no flash, they can get shot at and die real quick - sometimes stack up only one team (red or blue) on a single door stacking 4 people is just asking for a stray bulelt to kill them - when they open and flash, you can throw your own flashbang in a direction you want, as sometimes your friendly AI officer will just toss it in - use optiwand for more situational awareness and to help with the previous tips

There's a voice command mod that just takes this game to an entirely different level. being able to issue voice commands to the AI is just sublime, as the AI is actually really good at what it does.

Someone already mentioned this, but I think the server farm is just an optional objective they don't necessarily need to complete. Other than that, awesome job! Keep up the great work!

i still don't know why they made the streamer have an army of people defending him

This is so informative, i'm loving this series, thank you!

Hello Chris, I just want to give you an insight how crew system works. Take your time :) starting from 38:05 Main focus 1.) Top row is your active red/blue team. Bottom row is your total members you have in LSPD. ? symbol is empty slot which you can recruit new officer. 2.) To swap officer, click on any top row officer and click on any bottom row officer. 3.) As you can see, you've unlocked "kicker trait" for Robinson. other officers(has lock symbol) have to gain experience by playing in mission to unlock their trait. 4.) There are 4 level of mental health: Content, Anxious, Stressed and High Stressed(Crisis) 4.1) I highly recommend sending high stressed officer to therapy by click at bottom row of that officer and click send to therapy. It will show how many days he will return to duty. 4.2) If you take High Stressed(Crisis) officer with you to do mission. Best case is he will quit LSPD. Worst cases are: -disobey order -commit friendly fire -shoot any cuffed suspect/civilian Additional info 1.) There are total 13 unique officer traits which you can utilize to combine your team efficiency. 2.) Best map to quickly gain your officer experience to unlock trait is 4U gas station. Also best map to quickly fast forward day for any officer in therapy or still in hospital(incapacitated) 3.) Any action you did during mission, has an impact on your squad member mental health such as: killing suspect, civilian(very high impact), Unauthorized use of force. 3.1) If they have enough of your actions, they will disobey your order and will continue the mission by their own. At the end of mission, it'll be high chance they will quit LSPD 4.) If any officer is beyond high stressed at the end of mission, the therapist will intervene and take that officer away. in my case, it's 3 days for that officer 😂 Anyone has more comment to share please comment down below for Chris to enjoy :D

16:56 Interesting fact: In the Middle Ages, the stairs in castles and fortresses were spiral staircases in clockwise and very narrow as an ultimate way of defense

I love your content because you're basically the only or at least active swat member that actually makes videos about the game, as well as breaking it down for us 👍.

i just wanted to say i love your video and keep up the good work and thank you for your service

Appreciate the insight into your world. It's always interesting to see Cops and real-world professionals hop into games that simulate their profession. Thank you as well for keeping your community safe!

This is a great video. I loved that you explained all the fine details at the beginning.

That same "Stinger" bug you experienced at 8:45 in the setup got me a couple of days ago as well. Great video

I really love the "Media" tab on service tablet. Especially 911 calls.

I love this type of content! If you could, I would really like to see you layout your plans on the map in the briefing room. The buttons to draw on the map are a bit finnicky, and sometimes the maps aren't the greatest, but I would still love to know your tactics for approaching the scenario as a whole

Wow. 27 years. You straight soldier❤ Merry Christmas thank you for everything you do! ❤❤❤

one of the reasons I love this channel is that you're informative, while letting yourself having fun with zero pretentiousness! You don't act above the audience or gamers because you yourself is one you understand that games exist to give entertainment not giving a one to one simulation.

Be advised some of the upcoming levels will have numerous traps behind doors. You can peek the doors and use your multi tool to disable them. Also the mirror gun is an excellent tool I recommend for the team leader to scout a room before entry. Rotate your stressed team members out with those that aren't while sending them to therapy for a few missions. You can do that from the tablet>roster section. They will resign if stressed too much. Happy to see more of this and thank you for your work as a public servant.

Hey, Nice video! I especially love your intro cut, great work

i personally love the fact that you are taking a very SIM approach with the briefing and all , nice way to feel more immerse in the game

Always good to see your Chris and 76K nearing that fable 100K!! U deserve it man, been there from when it was only around a 1K I think actually when you first appeared on Gamemology :)

This was very interesting to watch!

Great run, Chris! Its awesome hearing you talk with your expertise regarding SWAT and Law Enforcement. In terms of tactics, I would have used a gas launcher after C2ing the streamer's apartment door. The gas covers the main room and almost the entire apartment room, except the streamer's room. I probably would have cleared the room on the second floor that you passed on your way up first (but I don't think it's your fault, sincs this mission is a bait and switch). Other than that, great job!

Hey Chris! Your perspective as an actual SWAT leader adds a fascinating dimension to your gameplay, and I truly enjoy the insights you share. You might find it helpful to familiarize yourself a bit more with the game's mechanics and controls. I noticed a few moments where understanding certain aspects, like the total slot limit for equipment, could boost your progress. During the briefing, you may want to ensure you catch all the details, like the 2nd floor map and the 911 call audio recording. Additionally, I observed that selecting commands during the mission took some time. Checking out Tacspeak could be beneficial: It's a free voice command add-on specifically configured for RON, and it works seamlessly right out of the box. Consider trimming non-essential video parts, like the extensive searche for secondaries at the end. This way, you can highlight the most relevant and exciting moments for your audience. I wanted to suggest checking out Controlled Pairs Gaming for inspiration. He shares a similar approach, but with a military background. His fluent gameplay mechanics seamlessly complement his explanations. His editing is also on an excellent level. I'm looking forward to more of your content! The SWAT perspective you bring is incredibly interesting, and it'll be intriguing to compare with Controlled Pairs Gaming's military viewpoint. Keep up the great work!

What makes your gameplay interesting is the in-depth information that you provide to regular civies like me

love this video. my friend and i play, and both discovered that you can change your teams kit. so now we run 2 tac shields. blue team is nonlethal, and red team lethal. thanks for the video

Whenever you use the move, open, or breach command you can open/breach it yourself with the leader. Or you can throw a bang in after they breach it with a leader command and they will flow in after the munition is thrown

Hey Chris you can tell your swat to search and secure they will find weapons and civs and then you can look for the soft objectives around the map like that farm for example

Got GLID who's an ex-military British commando playing this with his team of active police and other ex-marines and now you, this is great.

I love to imagine this man getting out of his gear every day, driving home and then arguing weather Tabaxi is a good pick for bard in his nerd cave. I wish my room looked like that.

This is exactly the video I was waiting for!!!! Thanks, Chris.🎉

I think this scenario is meant to teach you to remain alert and suspicious regardless of the briefing intel since it stresses the "one guy" premise then immediately you're facing way more than just one. Still a great job for your first time seeing the map even with the close calls. The controls and technical aspects of gameplay can distract from the tactics you would otherwise be falling back to. It can be hard to notice the brief text prompts on screen that show you can interact with something especially when you remain threat-focused and not collectible doodad focused as they would expect a "gamer" to be.

Regarding the missing stinger grenade from the beginning. Theres a bug where if you switch from light armor (which has 13 slots i believe), to heavy armor (which has 11), you keep the extra slots until you lock yourself out by removing items.

Just found your channel bro. The first thing I luv the fact that you're an older gamer like me (hope not to offend), I'm 53 and have been gaming since Pong in the mid-70s. Keep up your great service! From Australia (born in Orange County). 👍

fun video , i learned a few things ill try with my buddy thanks!

At around 9:30 , if you select light armor you can take a max of 5 to 4 flashbangs depending on the amount of mags you take , Heavy armor limits your capacity intake to 10/10 and light armor at 13/13

Very great to see you playing the series, and you pointing out the differences. I guess in a normal SWAT situation, your team would not be so overwhelmed by swarms of bad guys like it in the game, and having you act with just 5 people lets you feel like the underdog against a much stronger opposition. I also think den bad guys should comply more often if confronted with a swat team in their face.

So basically a troll swats a streamer, but ends up accidentally kickstarting a crime ring crackdown. This is in the lines of “task failed successfully”

Not sure if someone already mentioned it but if you use Q and E on your keyboard you can lean left and right to clear corners without exposing too much of your body. Great content keep up the good work! Thank you for your service!

As a Special Enforcer in the reservists, we get briefed on suspects to secure and suspect we can kill. In my 20+ operations, we had to kill more than 80 combatants. But saved over 18 000 civilians! Oscar Tango Mike

Such a great Let's Play. Please continue. Greets from Germany.

There is the Patrol Officer total conversion mod available for this game now. I think even that mod is not an exercise in writing speeding tickets or arresting disorderly college teens for public drunkenness during a peaceful Sunday but all about dangerous patrol officer missions requiring the use of force.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned, but the point when you couldn't reequip the stinger or take an additional flashbang is because of the loadout point system they have in the game. You choose the heaviest armor, so you can't carry as much. And because you must have recently switched from the standard vest that allows 13 load out point to the heavier vest that only allows 11 loadout points, when you deselected the stinger and C2, you lost those "free"/bugged 2 points and were down to 11/11 loadout points.

The funny thing in that mission, those guns shots were a video game lol got me when I played that mission

awesome stuff! finally found ur channel! my dad is a police in the swedish region! :) and i subbed bc ur a cool dude! keep up the good work my friend!

Interesting video. If I remember well, actually these gunshots at start of the mission is a video game sounds (but really loud somehow) and that's why someone called 911 for active shooter. Streamer got swated by his haters. But in the end it turned out that there is actually something criminal going on with him.

Love how when the mission doesn’t end he gets more or less bored and starts shooting the roomba and other objects 🤣

4:34 😂 “took one hour to download, I was not ready for that” -playing the Ready or Not game 😂😂

Bro, that's one very impressive comic book collection. Big UPs for that!

This game has decent squad ai so you dont always have to take point in clearing corners, like where you got sprayed from 2nd floor early in the mission (happened to me too lol). Someone already explained queueing orders, so I'll just say it becomes almost necessary to split your teams later on, to cover your flanks if nothing else. Really shines for breaching bigger rooms from multiple doors, clearing hallways with multiple doors, ect.

Well Done Chris...well done That Rhoomba, it truly was the scariest enemy on that mission.

Great Video Chris!

27:30 if you want them to clear on your move you have the option to do that by "move" and then "clear with leader" they will wait for you to do your thing and then go in.

This game would be amazing with voice attack. For those not familiar voice attack allows you to give commands with your voice. So you could say "stack up left side, bang and clear." And the command would be given in game, the NPC's, would then follow the orders.

Been a while since I watched your videos (originally subscribed back when you went on Gamology and watched sporadically since then). Really enjoyed your commentary.

I think if you tap Z while looking at an opening, you can tell your team to immediately move and clear the room. What I wish they'd add is an extra command to tell your team to clear short, or at least a command to tell them to stop immediately without opening the command menu so that they don't run all the way down a hallway and expose themselves like running past open doorways.

Haha yeah I was so confused to find all of the other tenants joining in the defense, but then I used some “Head Lore” and figured when I kicked open the 2’nd floor apartment those dudes where defending their illegal server bitcoin farm, and maybe the other dude in the third floor apartment had a warrant and was hiding. Love the videos!

Chris! New here and love the content. Hoping to find friends to play this with. This is such an awesome intro to this game, I want to learn and practice with realism like how you show it

Now this is EPIC! I love your videos man.

Option 1: Turn on Weapon Outlines (Accessibility) after soft completion to find visually obscured un-secured weapons Option 2: Order your team to Search and Secure each room (They may secure the evidence for you)

I definitely would have liked more map "drawn details" or something like that for improved planning of how i want to attack. Some maps seem not updated either, but if possibly maps for sure so I can draw out infiltration/attack details that I can revert to.

Hope this helps Chris , The biggest problem I see with anyone playing this game is they don't use walk key enough they run everywhere , if the Ai tangos hear your footsteps when running they will either actively investigate ( why the first tango opened that door ) or shoot through a door\threshold or wall and you lose the advantage , when you walk your silent

I just saw a simmalar video fron a german SEK officer intresting to see the diffrence in the aproach of the mission and the tactics deployed

Hey Chris, quick question: During your opening compilation, was that the Ben Avery Shooting Facility you were doing carbine stuff at?

Great video again! May I know the reason why swat teams don’t use flashbang nowadays?

I forgot about Chris until now because I started watching ready or not stuff

Have a good day Chris

A tip for you is that you can issue quick commands using Z. It usually has the indication of what the command will be in the bottom right

"Roomba's down" lol

Sometimes I get to play this with someone who's currently a SWAT officer. The others are prior-service military. Sometimes we play and the SWAT officer is giving us good tips, other times we respond with pure aggression and he's like "or... that works."

Hey it’s the guy from the other series good seeing him again.

The game is cool alone, but to see someone who has long standing experience talk the technical parts of real life operations and how these operators would handle it in the real world is awesome as well.

You can listen to 911 calls in the media section on your tablet while mission briefing

OMG This is like watching my great grandma look for cookie recipes in the printer...

hello, stress level basically depends on how much suspects you can arrest, instead of outright killing them. Going in with less-lethal weapons will result in a better outcome

you should play the game how you wanna play without you showing us your thought process and all that, but after you're done, go into replay mode and *then* walk us through what you were thinking approaching whatever situation you were in. if you're up for it of course. good content man, keep it up.

Hey Chris! Not sure which sig legion you’re referring too for your duty gun at one point, but i believe the m11 compact is modeled after the sig p228 m11

Can’t wait to see you get through all the maps especially the last one hehe

What was the model of Springfield pistol that you mentioned you didn't like? I kinda get that going from HK to Springfield was a step down but was there something specific that you didn't like on that Springfield pistol?

Sorry, one more thing. I get if you want to do blind runs, but I'd highly recommend looking up secondary evidence locations for these maps moving forward. The game fails to tell you anything about how many things you're looking for before the mission is considered clear, and knowing where those reportables are would save you a lot of time and headaches without necessarily spoiling the whole mission. Merry Christmas to you, and thank you for your service. Can't wait to see more!

New here, sorry if you’ve already done this but I’d be interested to see you play Door Kickers 2 (top down isometric CQB tactical game) if you already have then I’ll check it out, if not I think you might enjoy it and others would enjoy seeing you play! Thanks Chris!

I command squad to enter and clear or breach and clear most of time. Also check for them door traps.. I learned the hard way..

So couple things... the briefings are incredibly useful, in this you had a photo of the deceased mother, yet in first room you cleared she's alive and well, hence its a bogus active shooter call. RoN actually does this a lot where the briefing is either not 100% complete or slightly inaccurate. There is a voice attack pack for it, if your struggling with the ai comands. Although (and open to correction) real world SWAT would clear and CID would gather evidence after the fact in this you have to hunt for evidence and tag it as you go, the reason it was a soft complete was due to you missing hardrives. The photos by the bed in were labelled something like 'photos of minors', as it's evidence you can figure out their content and why they are evidence. Ready or not does a lot of context clues like that, and will deal with dark side of the job, you find the photos, you immediately think about where such anindividual would store more... PC and phone with external storage which gives you the inkling to check his rig and set up for more evidence. The missions actually chain together with multiple ongoing investigations and there is additional info on the boards around the various offices so taking a moment after brief to look is always good. Great seeing you play the game and giving a real view on it so thanks. Merry Christmas to you and family as well from across the pond

I'm also curious if the "gunfire" was from the games he was playing, as there didn't seem to be any active shooting threat going on. No bodies laying around or anything.

Thank you for your service

Will Chris ever dress your SWAT teams in "Civilian Casual" outfits in the customization? I just like the nice detail where SWAT will be called on emergency duty during their day off

Use Q and E to lean slightly to the left or right. Holding alt while using WASD allows you a better range of leaning motion.

Less than 2mins into the video, and already subscribed.

Were you in the Special Enforcement Bureau? I see you in LAPD uniforms and then LASD SEB BDU's so I was wondering what department you worked for I saw rescue 5 in the background lol

I really like to see another person with another way to play

I wish there were more like residential call outs for barricaded suspects or warrant service.

I must say, I played the older version, it was ok, but now? It's like night and day! I can see that the game devs had actual swat members coach them. It's way better and knowing that, I am HYPED for this one my friend.

Hey Chris, around 9:00, the reason you couldn't select more stingers is because you were maxed out on the amount of equipment slots you can carry as seen under "Loadout" at the top, in red print. When wearing Heavy Armor, your max equipment slots is 11.

I just watched now the most interesting thing that can be happened with this game) Thx so much Chris "Keep it up" (c) PS: Use your guys to clear the rooms often. Sometimes useful to separate them on teams if room not big or has several enters. And yes, they can be stupid, just waiting for enhance AI more))

Because of the 4-man (or 5 in single player) only limitation, this game (and other similar games before it) will always feel like a military unit trying to fill the role of SWAT officers. Unless you load up entirely on beanbags to take everyone alive, more often than not, you and your squad will end up looking like tier 1 operators cleaning house. Not even mods that fix the suspect AI can help. That being said, I still really love this game. Maybe one day the devs will fix all the issues that are currently being resolved by community mods.

Also so you know: you can listen to the 911 calls in the media tab by clicking the transcript button
