They will need toconfront harsh, real-world situations, such as corrupt politicians, extremists, human trafficking, and many other illegal activities.

What is Ironman Mode

Ready or Not’s Ironman Mode takes up the game’s difficulty by a notch,specifically for beginners. The Ironman Mode is essentially a permadeath mode, which means that if your character dies, their death is permanent – they cannot be revived or brought back to life. Players will simply lose their character forever and their save file will be lost.

The fear of death and losing the character permanently adds a layer of realism to the game, forcing players to carefully approach every situation and think before they act. Those who make it to the end and complete Ironman mode can unlock some exclusive cosmetic rewards.
