Ready or Not: Mirage at Sea S-Rank and Soft Objectives Guide

by

In the game “Ready or Not,” the mission titled Mirage at Sea involves a high-stakes operation where players must act swiftly to rescue hostages from a luxurious ocean liner. Time is of the essence for completing this task; however, due to the dangerously deadly suspects on board, players should exercise caution and ponder their actions carefully before proceeding impulsively.

Just as the Elephant mission demands swift and error-free execution of strategies, so does Mirage at Sea. If finding success in this mission without suffering losses gives you trouble, I have a helpful guide for you.

Ready or Not: Mirage at Sea Mission Overview

To start off, think about donning light armor reinforced with steel plates for this operation. The increased agility could aid you in locating and securing the VIP quicker. However, if you notice that your character is succumbing too frequently while using this setup, switch to full heavy armor fortified with ceramic plates instead.

Objectives

  • Bring Order to Chaos
  • Arrest Sah’id
  • Rescue All of the Civilians

In this situation, the urgency arises because civilian casualties might occur if gunfire is initiated. To avoid any hostage casualties, it’s crucial to locate and apprehend Sah’id bin Khalid, who is an unarmed high-value target dressed in traditional white Arab clothing.

Sah’id is quite determined and unwilling to be arrested unless force is used with items like pepper spray, a taser, or other non-lethal devices. This could potentially lead to difficulties as he might charge towards his security detail. Typically, you can locate Sah’id on the uppermost or one deck below the ship, either in the office section or the residential area. It would be advisable to handcuff him immediately first.

If you manage to apprehend Sah’id, it will stop the civilian casualties from occurring, allowing the boat to be navigated normally. However, remember that most of these guards wear heavy armor and carry powerful rifles, so common ammunition may not be effective against them and they could breach the boat’s weak walls. You have the option to adapt your Remote Operated Naval (RoN) weaponry to match their firepower or choose a completely non-lethal approach.

Be extra careful when approaching stairways. Throw flashbangs before you ascend or descend.

All Ready or Not: Mirage at Sea Soft Objectives

There are two crime scenes in Mirage at Sea that serve as soft objectives:

  • The blood trail in the office on the second deck.
  • A dead body hidden in three possible spawn points.

The office can be located quite easily – simply make your way up the stairs and proceed beyond the party deck. Keep an eye out for the sign on the blood trail to secure the unassuming goal.

The exact location of the deceased varies with each new mission. Here are some suggested spots to look for it:

In order to successfully achieve this elusive goal, you should concentrate your search efforts on these regions.

  • The walk-in freezer in the first deck’s kitchen.
  • The storage room next to the stairs that’s just outside the kitchen.
  • The lower part of the maintenance deck.

How to Get S-Rank in Ready or Not: Mirage at Sea

In the realm of RoN, nailing an S-rank isn’t just another game for me. I strive to complete each mission flawlessly, without a single casualty or penalty on my record. That means grabbing every bit of evidence, knocking out soft objectives, and apprehending all suspects. My strategy is simple: non-lethal loadout and the same tactics I’d use in any ordinary mission attempt.

In this context, it’s worth mentioning that there’s a handgun sitting on the desk in the second-floor office. However, despite any specific accessibility settings, this firearm won’t be marked out or given special attention like other weapons might be.

Instead of suggesting a pepperball gun, we highly advise bringing a Beanbag Shotgun here due to the lethal nature of our enemies. A strategically thrown beanbag can instantly incapacitate a suspect, preventing further attacks. However, pepperball guns are also effective if you can manage to work around their specific advantages and disadvantages.
