Ready or Not: Boiling Point DLC Guide – All Missions, Cosmetics & Patch Notes

Los Sueños has never felt more volatile. The Ready or NotBoiling Point DLC drops players into the city's darkest hour, where a coordinated terror attack has shattered public trust in an already militarized government and pushed the metropolis to the edge of collapse. Three new missions, a wave of exclusive cosmetics, and one of the biggest free patches since the game's full launch all arrive together in version 1.4.1, making this a pivotal moment for both new and returning SWAT officers.

What Is the Boiling Point DLC?

Boiling Point is the third DLC expansion for Ready or Not, developed by VOID Interactive and released during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. It builds directly on the game's main narrative, placing the fictional city of Los Sueños at a tipping point after a subversive terror attack dismantles whatever faith remained in the city's governing institutions.

The DLC is available across Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Epic Games Store, priced at $9.99 / €9.99 as a standalone purchase.

What Are the Three New Missions?

Boiling Point adds exactly three new maps to the Ready or Not mission roster. Each one escalates the tension of the overarching Los Sueños narrative:

• No Good Deed – The opening mission that sets the stage for the terror threat unfolding across the city.
• All Gods Burn – A mid-campaign escalation pushing your SWAT team into increasingly hostile territory.
• A New America – The climactic mission where the stakes reach their peak.

All three missions support full multiplayer co-op, and the CQB suspect type introduced specifically for Boiling Point adds a new layer of close-quarters threat that veteran players will need to adapt to. Additionally, some suspects in these missions deploy a lethal gas environmental threat, meaning your team's positioning and movement through rooms carries even greater risk than in the base game.

What Exclusive Cosmetics Does Boiling Point Include?

Beyond the missions, Boiling Point delivers an extensive cosmetics haul for players who want to customize their SWAT officer's appearance. Here's the full breakdown by category:

Head Gear

• ADV Headset (multiple colorways)
• Tactical Beanie (variant with Headset, multiple colorways)
• Tactical Cap (Forward and Backward variants, with 2x Comms Headset options and multiple colorways)

Two additional tattoos and two more cosmetic items unlock only after fully completing all Boiling Point missions. These serve as a direct reward for players who push through the entire DLC narrative.

How Do the Boiling Point Purchase Options Compare?

VOID Interactive offers three ways to access the DLC, depending on how much of the game's content you already own:

For players who haven't picked up the earlier DLCs, the Mission Pass at $19.99 represents strong value, bundling all three expansions at roughly a third less than purchasing them individually.

What Free Content Comes with Version 1.4.1?

Here's what most players will miss: the Boiling Point release is paired with a massive free update, version 1.4.1 (console players see this as update 1.001.002), that delivers substantial content to all players regardless of DLC ownership.

Is Boiling Point Worth Buying?

At $9.99, Boiling Point delivers three story-driven missions with new enemy behaviors, a substantial cosmetics collection with completion-locked rewards, and arrives alongside a free patch that meaningfully improves nearly every system in the game. The multiplayer access feature for non-owners is a genuinely player-friendly approach that lets you experience the missions before committing.

For players already invested in Ready or Not, the DLC expands the Los Sueños narrative at a price point that's hard to argue with. If you're on the fence, join a friend's lobby first and run through the missions, then decide whether the cosmetics and ownership perks are worth the purchase.
