So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the enemies, and saved the hostages, only to be hit with a "Mission Not Complete" message. Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to resolve 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 think you've done everything correctly, the game might have other ideas. If you haven't completed all objectives, you can still vote to end the mission, but it won't be considered complete.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and examine the list of objectives. Look for any that are marked in red or incomplete. Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – After incapacitating or killing a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (F by default). The same goes for 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 status.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Check that all civilians are properly rescued and not still 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*, all players must vote to end the mission. If just one player misses the vote prompt, the "Mission Not Complete" error will appear.
How to Fix:
- Ensure all players press Y (default key) when the vote prompt appears.
- If someone isn't voting, remind them using voice or text chat.
- If a player is AFK, you may need to wait or kick them from the session.
- Consult our guide on how to fix ‘Can’t Connect to Host’ in Ready or Not for additional help.
- If the vote screen isn't showing up for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all tasks, the game fails to recognize your efforts.
Common Bugs:
- The game doesn't register secured weapons.
- A hostage doesn't count as rescued even though they are.
- An objective remains incomplete even when conditions are 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: 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 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. Restarting is often the quickest way to resolve the issue.
And that's how you can fix "Mission Not Complete" in *Ready or Not*.
