How to get a bad ending into ready or not: boiling point

The last of the three available missions in Ready or Not: Boiling Point will see you exploring the last big place with many rooms and threats. This is the hardest mission of the bunch and will demand the best from you and your team, so be prepared.

In this guide, we'll go over each major and soft objective, the main points of interest, and what you need to know about the VIP suspect and secret bad ending you can get if things go a certain way. Here's how to complete A New America in Ready or Not: Boiling Point.

Mission Select menu showing A New America in Ready or Not.

VA New America has three main goals: Bring order to chaos (there are about 20 suspects), Save all civilians (~ 10 civilians) a Arrest the VIP suspect.

Keep in mind that all but a few suspects here will be heavily equipped. Make sure you are well prepared with your favorite weapons and take protection with you.

The first two are common, but for the latter you will have to shrink the suspect with a flower mask in the courtroomon the top floor. You have to be patient because it has a detonator and will fail your mission if the bomb is activated.

It can also trigger before you even get to the floor if you have too much time to complete the mission. There's no clear timer in the game, but count ~three minutes after catching the detonator signal (more on that in a couple).

You also have one soft goal: locate and capture a safe detonator signal. This will always be on the 21st floor, and after your character finishes their verbal report, you'll need to interact with the green screen near the bombs.

All Sights of New America

We have marked maps 20., 21. and 22. with symbols to find different points of interest and objectives. Skulls represent suspects, stars represent civilians, and chests represent soft targets, VIP suspects, and interactive items.

We don't use the map for the starting floor because the map in the game is useless and there is almost nothing.

If you can't see the maps, you can still check the explanation below:

How to get a bad ending

When you play Commander (single player campaign) you have an option complete a mission with a “bad ending” and get an exclusive ending that lets you earn some hidden cosmetics.

To do so, you need to do everything as usual, then change the detail in the final confrontation in the courtroom: reduce the suspect VIP, but grab the detonator yourself and activate the explosion.

This will take you to unique cutscenes that will show you in a prison and talking to an important character.
