Ready or Not - Kaminsky
Welcome to the first in our series of monthly newsletters, dedicated entirely to community creations and contributions to Ready or Not! This month, we’re focusing on popular, well made, and unique mods to take your gameplay to the next level. Let us know if you’ve already experienced one of these in the comments!
For many players this will be one of the first mods they download, and often the first they are recommended. The simply named ‘In-game menu’ offers users more granular control over their lobbies in both single and multiplayer. The mods feature set includes a proto-server browser, user limit changes, a map selector, and even a simple mod management and identification interface, to see what mods you have loaded at any given time.
The Fairfax Residence is a map that features many veterans of the Tactical Police Action genre. It’s a faithful remake of the old SWAT 4 map, and faithfully maintains both game’s high level of environmental storytelling. Most present is the slow feeling of dread from the compact map, the well decorated environment, and its sparse use of NPCs.
Old Wenderly’s claustrophobic corridors, and high density of both civilians and suspects, lend themselves very well to the short, furious firefights that test all players' target acquisition and identification skills. The only downside to the map is the lack of decoration, but given the map's size combined with how hectic the action tends to be, it’s very easy to overlook its missing flair.
Editors Choice
I really think the name of this mod speaks for itself! Though given the in-universe talents of the ODSTs and the incongruity of placing them in a reasonably modern space, it doesn’t mean that Absiv didn’t hit it out of the park with a modern version of the ODST battle suit and aesthetic. The cherry on top of this mod, is that HoltDT also contributes voices that sound like they’ve been passed between helmet comms, as well as two weapons provided by Unselles! The headliner is the venerable M90 pump shotgun, whose sheer imposing presence makes it an absolute joy to use. The other is the MK50 Sidekick from Halo Infinite, whose replacement of the USP is quite a fitting choice.
All round it’s a wonderful package, with more tweaks and firearms on the way!

Addendum
I have miscredited several creators in the above post, this has been fixed:
Both Unselles and HoltDT have authorised ODSTRoNMOD to utilise two mods separately uploaded on Nexusmods - these mods are;
*.357 Bonanza, M90, and MK50 by Unselles
*Trauma Team style voices for SWAT by HoltDT
*ODST Armor designed by https://www.artstation.com/abisv
Going forwards, we can’t WAIT to see what else the community brings to the table as we update the game and to give modders more functionality to play with and improve their own works.
