How to Achieve an S Rank on the Elephant Mission in Ready or Not (Single player)

In this mission, your priorities are:

  1. Eliminate shooters (they start shooting hostages after about 3 to 4 minutes).
  2. Defuse bombs (Approx 10-minute timer).
  3. Secure hostages.

Always listen for shooters talking with hostages or other shooters and prioritize eliminating them immediately.

Equipment Setup

  • Team Armor: Heavy ceramic armor for maximum protection.
  • Tools: Battering rams for breaching doors.
  • Mirrorguns: Not used due to time constraints.
  • Non-Lethal Weapons:
  • Sting Grenades: Equipped but not used in this mission.
  • Red Team: Equipped with pepper guns.
  • My Loadout: Beanbag shotgun.
  • Blue Team: One member with a beanbag shotgun and one with a pepper ball gun.

(This was my set up but feel free to use what works for you)

Enter Through the West Side Door

Enter through the west side door located below the library.

Once inside, secure the upstairs area and send the red team into the library to guard the hostages. Shooters sometimes head there, so I station the red team there until the shooters are eliminated. You might not end up needing them there, but I like to have them there just in case. Plus, you don’t need all five team members to clear the building that has only four suspects.

Clear the Hallway and upper Auditorium Entrance Area

Lead the blue team down the hallway and search and secure the small auditorium entrance area that leads to the auditorium.

Continue through the double doors at the end of the walkway.

Clear the Area Beyond the Double Doors

Clear the area of any threats and listen for shooters.

  • Check for open doors—shooters are often inside rooms with open doors.
  • If you hear a shooter, go straight to them.
  • If not, proceed downstairs.

Clear Rooms Downstairs

Quickly clear each room downstairs.

Listen for shooters at all times. If you hear one, prioritize eliminating them immediately, even if it means skipping uncleared rooms.

Defuse Bombs

Once shooters are eliminated, focus on defusing bombs. They have a 10-minute timer (approximately), so work efficiently but carefully.

Secure Hostages

After dealing with shooters and bombs, secure the hostages. Ensure the area is clear of threats before moving them to safety.

By following these steps and using the screenshots as visual aids, you should be able to complete the mission efficiently while minimizing casualties. Good luck!
