Narcos is one of the three new levels in theReady or NotHome InvasionDLC, and it thrusts players into an emergency in a quaint neighborhood involving one of the LSPD’s officers. The map features a mix of both long and short sightlines with cramped interiors and messy exteriors, challenging the players' reflexes, awareness, and perception.
This map doesn’t take as long as some of thebaseReady or Notmissions, but depending on how suspect AI behaves, it can prove to be a difficult one. Here’s a guide covering all the Narcos objectives (including soft objectives) as well as some general tips and loadout suggestions.
All Objectives in Ready or Not Narcos Mission
Narcos is a tricky mission, and compared tothe Dorms level inReady or Not, the suspects here are much more dangerous. Here, players will be facing members of the Los Locos gang, and not only are theyarmed with modified assault rifles, but theyalso have body armor. Plus, players will have tosweep multiple houses and clear the outdoor areas as well. The main objectives here are:
Informant Location
This objective makes Narcos a bit more dynamic than most other missions. The informant players are searching for is an undercover cop whose cover has been blown, andhe can appear in different areas of the map. The squad will need to thoroughly search the map to find him —the informant will be shouting for help, so make sure to pay attention.
The informant can and will crawl around the map. Take care not to accidentally shoot him.
Ready or Not Narcos Soft Objectives
Spotting soft objectives inRoNcan be confusing, but the ones in the Narcos map are relatively easy to spot. The soft objectives you need for this mission are:
The first two soft objectives areinside the first house that players enter through the default starting point. Inspect the bloody chair in the living room to secure the first objective. Then, go through the door opposite the chair, and look for a desk with a computer on it.
After securing these objectives, head outside and search the nearby houses. The objective you’re looking for is a dead dog in the kitchen.
Recommended Loadouts and Tips
Since suspects here are armored, we recommend bringing AP ammo to maximize stopping power. Rifles are the best choice if you’re looking to put armed suspects down, but if you want toget an S-rank in anyReady or Notmission, it’s best to use non-lethal equipment. For this mission,we recommend bringing CS gas and pepperball launchers.
The outdoor areas will likely give players the most trouble. Suspects are harder to spot here due to the color grading and, at some angles, sunlight might obscure the players' vision.CS gas is very helpful here— not only do gas clouds cover more ground than flashbangs and stingers, but they also linger for a while, giving the team extra time to reposition without having to worry about certain angles.
