So, you just ran through an entire mission in Ready or Not, cleared out all the enemies, rescued the hostages, and did everything by the book. But then – boom – "Mission Not Complete." Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here's how to tackle the "Mission Not Complete" issue in Ready or Not.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives

First and foremost, review your objectives. Even if you think you've done it all, sometimes the game might see things differently. If you haven't ticked off every objective, you might still be able to vote to end the mission.
How to Check:
- Press the Tab button to open the mission menu and scan through the objective list. If any are marked in red or incomplete, that's your clue.
- Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you've incapacitated or killed someone, make sure you report it by interacting with them (F by default).
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to pick up any dropped weapons from suspects.
- Completing optional objectives – Don't forget tasks like disabling security systems.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Check that every civilian is properly rescued and not left tied up somewhere.
Fix: Go back through the map to see if you've missed anything.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)

This is a common pitfall in co-op mode. For the mission to end successfully, every player must vote to conclude it. If even one player misses the vote prompt, you'll see the "Mission Not Complete" error in Ready or Not.
How to Fix:
- Ensure all players hit 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 might need to wait it out or remove them from the session.
- Check our guide on fixing the 'Can't Connect to Host' issue in Ready or Not.
- If the vote screen isn't showing for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all objectives, the game might still not recognize them.
Common Bugs:
- The game fails to register secured weapons.
- A hostage doesn't count as rescued even though they are.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting all conditions.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and attempt it again.
- In multiplayer, try switching the host (sometimes objectives are registered 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 correct any missing or corrupted files causing issues.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If none of the above solutions work, sometimes restarting the mission is your best bet.
Yes, it's not the most appealing solution, but Ready or Not is still in development, and mission completion bugs can happen. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be your quickest fix.
And that's how to resolve "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not.
