How To Fix ‘Mission Not Complete’ in Ready or Not

So, you just ran through a whole mission in Ready or Not, cleared all the enemies, rescued the hostages, and did everything right. But then – boom – "Mission Not Complete." Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here’s how to fix "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not.

1. Double-Check Your Objectives

The first step is to ensure you've completed all your objectives. Even if you think you've done everything, the game might have other ideas. If you miss any objectives, you can still vote to end the mission, but it won't count as complete.

How to Check:

Press the Tab button to open the mission menu and review the objective list. If any objectives are still red or marked as incomplete, that's your clue. Common oversights include:

• Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you incapacitate or kill a suspect, you need to report it by interacting with them (F by default). The same goes for civilians.
• Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to secure dropped weapons. If a suspect drops a gun, pick it up.
• Completing optional objectives – Some missions have extra tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these can prevent mission completion.
• Ensuring all hostages are safe – Double-check that all civilians are properly rescued and not still tied up somewhere.

Fix: Revisit the map and ensure you haven't left anything undone.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)

This is a common pitfall in co-op play. In Ready or Not, all players must vote to end the mission for it to be considered complete. If just one player misses the vote, you'll see the "Mission Not Complete" error.

How to Fix:

• Ensure all players press Y (default key) when the vote prompt appears.
• Remind any players who might have missed the vote via voice or text chat.
• If a player is AFK, you may need to wait or remove them from the session.
• If the vote screen doesn't appear for some players, restart the mission.

3. Objective Bugs

Sometimes, you've completed all objectives, but the game still doesn't recognize it.

Common Bugs:

• The game doesn't register secured weapons.
• A hostage isn't counted as rescued even though they are.
• An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the conditions.

How to Fix:

• Restart the mission and try again.
• If playing multiplayer, switch the host (sometimes, the game registers objectives differently for different players).
• Verify your game files: Go to Steam > Right-click Ready or Not > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This can fix missing or corrupted files that might cause issues.

The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method

If none of the above solutions work, sometimes restarting the mission is your best bet.

Yes, it's not ideal, but Ready or Not is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission refuses to complete no matter what, restarting might be the quickest fix.

And that's how to fix "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not.
