Ready or Not First Hour Starter Route

Quick Answer

Spend the first hour on training, command binds, then low-risk missions for mirror checks, wedges, reports, and evidence bags.

Practical Steps

Step	Action	Standard
1	Name the problem first: beginner	Do not negotiate roles mid-raid
2	Confirm gear, commands, and fallback route before entry	Every player owns a door, angle, restraint, or evidence job
3	Control resistance before pushing deeper	Do not chase through unknown doors or unknown civilians
4	Restrain, report, and bag evidence immediately after clearing	Score losses often come from cleanup gaps
5	Recheck the same route before ending	Confirm no weapons, civilians, or objective items are missed

Checklist

• Decide whether this raid needs less-lethal control instead of all rifles.
• Assign doors, stairs, long lanes, and small rooms before entry.
• Confirm threat action before every shot.
• Report every contact to TOC after restraint or incapacitation.
• Bag dropped weapons and objective evidence before leaving the sector.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Better approach
Treating beginner as one keybind or one gear pick	Start with team roles, map space, and scoring goal
Relaxing after the first room	Handle wedges, evidence, and secondary search immediately
Changing weapons after every failure	Review entry order, fire lanes, and cleanup first
