📋 About This Mod

Jug's Gameplay Review v9. 02 beta


Part 1: AI Mod + Movement Mod + Sights Mod

Part 2: Elite Armory


I missed you too <3

IMPORTANT: DLC4

The AI file is still a standalone difficulty. This way, you can keep all 3 vanilla AI configurations, so it's easier to compare and see how dogshit they all are! LOL

To install, just drop the files on the paks folder. To activate it ingame, check the upper right box for the difficulty settings on the mission selector screen.

Choose "JugsAI".

The AI file affects both SWAT and Suspects. SWAT will still be stupid, but they'll be better shots. Cover them and they'll (mostly) cover you.

Also: You will now have a maximum of 4 bandages to patch yourself up. If you use them all and start bleeding again, you will bleed to death. Take cover and don't get shot for nothing.

Thx to WEAZEL for testing

Description:

< GROUNDED IN REALISM >

Jug's Gameplay Review is a comprehensive mod for Ready or Not, focused on refining gameplay systems with an emphasis on realism and challenge. This mod series is rooted in the author's extensive experience with tactical shooters since the genre's inception with 1998 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

1. 1 AI Mod

The AI module refines enemy behaviors to create a human-like, tactical and immersive experience.

Key Features:

[]Realistic Visibility and Reactions: Enemies have refined vision cones and reaction times. Players can now approach enemies stealthily if undetected.

[]Enhanced Tactics: AI will flank, take cover, suppress, ambush (deep corners, etc.), and maintain defensive lines with more realistic behavior.

[]Morale-Based Decisions: Enemies will demonstrate self-preservation, with a greater likelihood of surrendering or retreating under stress.

[]Improved Accuracy Settings: Per-map accuracy balancing ensures professionals are deadly accurate, while low-level thugs miss more frequently. This will change their lethality at a distance. Expect close encounters to be deadly.

[]Dynamic Hostage Situations: Hostage takers will engage in standoffs, demanding careful tactical resolutions.

[]Deceptive Behavior: Surrendered suspects may attempt to flee or attack if not restrained quickly.

[]Careful balance between realism and game challenge in map population. Maps will rarely feel too crowded or too empty. There will mostly be civilians there too. Pratice your PID.

[]PROBLEM SOLVED | Tracking and shooting through cover: Suspects will act as humans, minimizing the dreaded vanilla feature of getting shot through cover by a wall
