With the new Commander Mode in Ready or Not 1.0, players are now in charge of managing their entire SWAT team. If you constantly use the same officers repeatedly in missions, they can get anxious and stressed. When that happens the only way to reduce their stress level is doing a couple of missions without them. Here is how to give officers a break in Ready or Not so you can reduce their stress levels.
How to manage your roster in Ready or Not
To manage your roster and give officers a break in Ready or Not, you must use your in-game tablet. You can open your tablet by holding the tab key, and you will see your player pull it up. From here, you need to click the Roster button in the bottom left corner of the tablet.
Here you will see your full roster of officers. The four at the top, indicated by two red and two blue members, are the officers in your active team. Each officer will have their status indicated. Here are the four status levels of your officers:
- Content (Green)
- Anxious (Yellow)
- Stressed (Orange)
- Crisis (Red)
How to give officers a break and fix their stressed status
In the event an officer has an Anxious or Stressed status, it means they need a break. You can give your officers a break by simply clicking on their portrait at the top of your active roster, and then clicking on one of the officers not currently in the active roster at the bottom. This will swap the two officers, allowing the one who is anxious or stressed to take a break. Simply do a couple of missions and you will see that their status will change back to Content.
However, if your officer is in Crisis status, simply taking a break won’t do the trick. You need to click the officer’s portrait on the bottom of your roster, then click the Send to Therapy button as highlighted in red in the above screenshot. This will take your officer out of commission for a while, but when they return they will have their status returned to Content.
That’s how to give officers a break in Ready or Not. It’s a pretty simple process but can save you so much headache later by keeping your officers content and ready for duty.
