So, you just ran through a whole mission in Ready or Not, cleared all the enemies, rescued the hostages, and did everything right. But then – boom – "Mission Not Complete." Frustrating, right? Well, you're not alone. Here's how to fix "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first step is to thoroughly check your objectives. Even if you think you've completed everything, the game might disagree. If you don't complete all your objectives, you can still vote to end the mission.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to open the mission menu and review the objective list. If anything is red or marked as incomplete, that's your issue. Some common objectives that players often overlook include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you incapacitate or kill a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (F by default). 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 lead to the mission not being counted as complete.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Check that all civilians are properly rescued and not left tied up somewhere.
Fix: Revisit the map and ensure nothing was left undone.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
This issue is common in co-op mode. In Ready or Not, all players 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 it out or remove them from the session.
- If the vote screen isn't showing for some players, restart the mission.

3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, you've completed everything, but the game still won't recognize it.
Common Bugs:
- The game doesn't register secured weapons.
- A hostage doesn't count as rescued even though they are.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the conditions.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and try again.
- If playing multiplayer, switch the host (sometimes, the game registers 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 missing or corrupted files that might cause issues.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If none of the above solutions work, sometimes restarting the mission is your only option.
Yes, it's not ideal, but Ready or Not is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission refuses to complete no matter what, restarting is often the quickest fix.
And that's how to fix "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not.
Ready or Not is available now on PC.
