So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in *Ready or Not*, eliminated all threats, and successfully rescued the hostages, but then—boom—"Mission Not Complete." Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fix the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first thing you should do is review your objectives. Even if you think you've completed everything, the game might have other ideas. If you miss any objectives, you can still vote to end the mission, but it won't be counted as complete.
How to Check:
- Press the Tab button to open the mission menu and examine the objective list. If any objectives are marked in red or show as incomplete, that's your clue.
- Common objectives that players often overlook include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you've incapacitated or killed a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same goes for civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to pick up any dropped weapons. If a suspect drops a gun, secure it.
- Completing optional objectives – Some missions have additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these might prevent mission completion.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Check that all civilians are properly rescued and not left tied up somewhere.
- Fix: Revisit the map and ensure you haven't missed anything crucial.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
This is a common stumbling block in multiplayer. In co-op mode, every player must vote to end the mission. If even one player misses the vote prompt, you'll see the "Mission Not Complete" error.
How to Fix:
- Ensure all players press Y (default key) when the vote prompt appears.
- If someone isn't voting, use voice or text chat to remind them.
- If a player is AFK, you might need to wait or kick them from the session.
- Refer to our guide on how to fix 'Can't Connect to Host' in *Ready or Not* if needed.
- If the vote screen isn't showing up for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, you've done everything right, but the game still doesn't recognize it.
Common Bugs:
- The game fails to register secured weapons.
- A rescued hostage doesn't count.
- An objective remains incomplete despite being met.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and try again.
- In multiplayer, switch the host, as the game might register objectives differently for different players.
- Verify your game files by going to Steam > Right-click *Ready or Not* > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This can resolve issues caused by missing or corrupted files.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If the above solutions don't work, sometimes the only way forward is to restart the mission. It's not ideal, but *Ready or Not* is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be the quickest fix.
And that's how to tackle the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
Ready or Not is available now on PC.
