Ready or Not, disponibile l'aggiornamento mensile di marzo. Introdotti lanciagranate e giubbotti esplosivi

[Barrnet]

VOID Interactive ha reso pubblico il nuovo aggiornamento mensile per Ready or Not, il first person shooter dal taglio realistico che mette i giocatori nei panni di un Team Leader di una squadra SWAT americana. L'aggiornamento introduce la possibilità di trasportare o far spostare i civili o i sospetti arrestati, incrementa la portata dell'attacco corpo a corpo del giocatore, aggiunge come gadget un lanciagranate sottocanna per lanciare le varie tipologie di granate, introduce la selezione di paletta di colori (fosfori verdi o grigi) per il visore notturno ed introduce dei giubbotti esplosivi per civili e sospettati in alcuni livelli. Notevoli migliorie anche ai livelli presenti del gioco, con l'aggiunta di diverse nuove aree, suoni, elementi scenici o fix a problemi noti.

L'aggiornamento cura anche la stabilità di gioco, con una notevole quantità di piccoli o fastidiosi problemi sistemati riguardo alla consistenza dell'audio tra prima e terza persona, migliora la varietà di versi e frasi dei vari personaggi riducendone la ripetitività ed espandendone il repertorio.
