The Lawmaker mission from theHome InvasionDLC inReady or Notis fairly straightforward, but it can be a challenge for players who aren’t comfortable with close-quarters fights. This mission is set in a large mansion overtaken by a group of radicals, so expect a lot of room-to-room engagements.
While Lawmaker isn’t as complex assome otherReady or Notmissions, it’s still set in a large map with plenty of doors and angles to worry about. Clearing this level is going to be tricky, but with enough practice and preparation, players will be able to finish it in no time at all.
Updated July 12, 2025 by Marc Santos:Lawmaker is one of the more difficult maps to clear in Ready or Not thanks to its layout,and with the deadlier NPCs added to the game when the console version launched, it became an even harder mission to complete. We’ve updated this guide to include a segment with tips on how to get S-rank on Lawmaker.
All Lawmaker Objectives in Ready or Not
Lawmaker is another indoor CQB map similar tothe Dorms map inReady or Not. Most encounters here will be in rooms and hallways, though there are a few long sightlines, such as the main entrance lobby and the backyard. In this mission, your objectives are:
Lawmaker Panic Room Locations
There aretwo panic rooms in the mansion, and the one you’re looking for is the one with the red, flashing light. If the panic room you find does not have this light active, you’re able to safely ignore it.
All you need to do is interact with the exterior keypad of the active panic room. Doing so will prompt a response from the family inside, crossing this objective off the list.
Where to Find Sven Anderson-Lincoln
Sven, the owner of the mansion,can be anywhere on the map. He is a middle-aged man wearing casual attire, and he will yell distinct voicelines that should be easy to distinguish from the other civilians. He spawns on the third floor more often than not, and he almost always has at least one suspect guarding him.
Lawmaker has no soft objectives. Focus on getting every suspect and civilian out alive if you want toget an S-rank clear.
Tips and Recommended Loadouts
Suspects here arearmored and armed with high-caliber weaponry, including AK rifles and Five Seven pistols. They’ll have an easy time penetrating your armor, so we recommend usingCeramic or Steel plates on a light rigto balance protection with mobility. A ballistic shield can also work if you’re with a coordinated group, but in general, it’s better to avoid getting hit here instead of taking shots. Additionally,bring and use some flashlights, as some rooms can be a bit dark.
To make matters worse, the suspects in Lawmaker have a tendency to use civilians as human shields.Use flashbangs or CS gaswhen you know there’s a suspect in the room, as there’s a decent chance that they’re holding someone hostage. If you’re using a pepperball launcher,shoot the floor under the suspects. This will cause them to start coughing without risking any unauthorized use of force penalties against possible human shields.
