The Dorms map inReady or Not’sHome InvasionDLC offers a unique challenge — it has both close and long-ranged sightlines, and there are plenty of sneaky angles where players can get shot from. It’s a tricky level to complete, but with enough patience and know-how, players will be able to get a perfect rating for it nonetheless.
While this mission is definitely one of the harder ones inReady or Not, completing it with a high rating is far from impossible. The following guide covers all the important bits of the Dorms map, includingall soft and hard objectivesas well as some general tips on how to make your run a little bit easier.
Ready or Not Dorms - All Objectives
The Dorms map is similar toRoN’sTwisted Nerve missionin a lot of ways. Both levels are set in a rundown building full of junkies, and drugs are involved one way or another.Expect to fight in very close quarterswith little room to maneuver, but don’t discountthe long hallwayin the first floor.
As far as objectives go, Dorms resembles your typical police raid — go in, control the situation, pacify all threats, and secure all civilians. However, the objectives aren’t the problem, it’s the map layout.
The building isfull of dark areas and wall holesthat armed suspects can hide and fire from. All those little murder holes in the walls in particular can be a huge problem, since they diminish the effectiveness of tactical grenades. For this mission,we recommend bringing a shield and/or CS gas— have your pointman block incoming bullets, and if there are any armed suspects in a room, chuck some tear gas inside. Gas should bypass broken walls and affect anyone hiding behind them.
As always, if you’re bringing CS gas, don’t forget to wear a gas mask. Also, consider using aweapon equipped with a scopefor long-ranged shooting.
Ready or Not Dorms Soft Objectives
Thankfully, there’s only one soft objective in Dorms, and that’s tosecure some drug equipmentsomewhere in the building. To find it, start at the south entrance, then head up the first set of stairs in the long hallway. You should be able to see a shrine of sorts after a short search. Head to the lectern to find a bong along with packets of drugs.
