So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the enemies, and rescued the hostages, only to be hit with a "Mission Not Complete" message. Frustrating, isn't it? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to fix the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first step is to thoroughly review your objectives. Even if you believe 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 count as complete.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and review the objective list. If any objectives are marked in red or show as incomplete, that's your clue. Common overlooked objectives include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – After incapacitating or killing a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same applies to civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to secure any dropped weapons. If a suspect drops a gun, pick it up.
- Completing optional objectives – Some missions have additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these can result in an incomplete mission.
- 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.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
This issue often trips up players in co-op mode. In *Ready or Not*, 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, remind them via voice or text chat.
- If a player is AFK, you may 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 appearing for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, you've completed all objectives, but the game doesn't recognize it.
Common Bugs:
- The game fails to register secured weapons.
- A rescued hostage isn't counted.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the conditions.
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: Go to Steam > Right-click *Ready or Not* > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This can fix issues caused by missing or corrupted files.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If none of the above solutions work, sometimes the only option is to restart the mission. While not ideal, *Ready or Not* is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be your quickest fix.
And that's how you can address the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
Ready or Not is available now on PC.
