Ready or Not Boiling Point DLC: No Good Deed Mission Full Guide

What Is No Good Deed in Ready or Not?

No Good Deed is the opening mission of the Boiling Point DLC for Ready or Not, developed by VOID Interactive. Set at Blackwood Pier in the fictional coastal district of Kawayu, this mission drops D-Platoon into a nightmare scenario: a community fundraising event turned massacre, orchestrated by suspected members of Los Navegantes del Caos. The pier itself is inspired by the real-world Santa Monica Pier, lending the setting an unsettling familiarity. If you want to understand what Boiling Point is really about, this mission sets the tone perfectly.

The Full Story Behind Blackwood Pier

How Does the Mission Begin?

Local community leader Lucia Torres organizes a cleanup and fundraising event around Blackwood Pier, attended by both the Governor of California and the Mayor of Los Sueños. The night before the event, civilians spot an unidentified ship near the pier, but no action is taken. That ship returns the following night, and shortly after, chaos erupts.

Civilian 911 calls paint a picture of sudden, terrifying violence. One caller reports a loud explosion triggering the incident, while another describes a raving man on the beach spouting Mariposa Lily Organization mottos, hinting at a deeper conspiracy beneath the surface. D-Platoon arrives to find the situation already spiraling out of control.

Who Are the Suspects?

The primary suspects are Gabriel Santacruz and Baltasar Jimenez, both connected to Los Navegantes del Caos. What makes this mission especially dangerous is how the suspects operate: they arrive disguised in Los Sueños Police Department uniforms and wearing president masks, making target identification a genuine tactical challenge. Shooting the wrong person here carries severe score penalties, so patience and positive identification before engaging are absolutely critical.

The Mariposa Lily Organization is mentioned in the 911 calls but does not appear directly as a combatant faction in this mission. Their presence in the background suggests the Boiling Point storyline has larger conspiracies at play beyond this single pier.

What Are the Key Threats in No Good Deed?

Chemical Weapons in Indoor Areas

One of the most distinctive hazards in No Good Deed is the presence of lethal gas environmental threats deployed inside the pier's enclosed spaces. This is a Boiling Point-specific mechanic introduced with the DLC, meaning indoor areas can be flooded with toxic gas by the suspects themselves. Clearing rooms without proper preparation can get your entire team incapacitated rapidly.

Before pushing through any interior space, consider the following:

• Equip the Tactical Rebreather Gasmask (available as a DLC exclusive cosmetic with functional value)
• Use your Optiwand to scout rooms before entry and check for gas presence
• Coordinate with your team to avoid stacking multiple operators in a potentially gassed corridor
• The Boiling Point update also introduced a new CQB suspect type, meaning enemies inside tight spaces are more aggressive and faster to engage

Suspect Behavior and AI Changes

The 1.4.1 patch that shipped alongside Boiling Point addressed several suspect AI issues that directly affect how you play No Good Deed. Suspects are less likely to raise their weapons while stunned, and they now respond more reliably to compliance yells from your SWAT AI teammates. This means coordinated non-lethal approaches are more viable than in previous patches.

The new CQB suspect type added specifically for Boiling Point missions means some enemies are configured for close-quarters aggression. Expect faster reaction times and more willingness to push into doorways rather than hold back.

Recommended Loadout for No Good Deed

Given the chemical hazards and close-quarters nature of the pier environment, here is a loadout breakdown suited to this mission:

How to Approach Blackwood Pier Tactically

Exterior Approach and Spawn Location

The pier setting means you are dealing with open outdoor areas transitioning into enclosed indoor structures. The exterior sections expose your team to potential ambushes from suspects using the pier's structures as cover. Move in formation, use cover aggressively, and avoid clustering your team in the open.

The 1.4.1 patch gave hosts the ability to change spawn locations from the mission end screen, so if your team is struggling with a particular entry angle, experiment with alternate spawn points on subsequent attempts.

Clearing Indoor Areas with Chemical Threats

The indoor portions of Blackwood Pier are where No Good Deed becomes most punishing. The lethal gas mechanic means a standard breach-and-clear can turn fatal if you push in without reconnaissance. Follow this sequence for indoor rooms:

1. Use the Optiwand under the door to check for gas and enemy positions
2. If gas is present, deploy a 9-Bang through a crack or window to stun suspects before entry
3. Stack your team on the door and issue a coordinated breach command
4. Immediately identify suspects by uniform and mask before firing
5. Secure all civilians and report objectives promptly

Managing Civilian Safety

This is a fundraising event, which means civilians are present throughout the map. The disguised suspects make this especially treacherous. Prioritize securing civilians and moving them toward the exit early. The patch also fixed an issue where civilians could not surrender while being pepper sprayed, so less-lethal tools are more reliable for crowd control than before.

The aftermath of the attack triggers massive rioting throughout Los Sueños, which feeds directly into the broader Boiling Point narrative. How cleanly you handle the mission affects both your score and the story context.

What Rewards Can You Earn from No Good Deed?

Completing the Boiling Point missions, including No Good Deed, unlocks exclusive cosmetic rewards. Fully finishing all three Boiling Point missions earns you:

• 2 additional Tattoos (mission completion rewards)
• 2 exclusive Cosmetic Items (unlocked upon full DLC completion)

The DLC also includes a range of new cosmetics available from the start, including the Tactical Rebreather Gasmask, Bone Conduction Tactical Headset, ADV Headset in multiple colorways, and Machinex Fingerless Gloves. These are not just cosmetic flourishes; the gasmask in particular is directly relevant to surviving No Good Deed's chemical hazard.

Can You Play No Good Deed Without Owning the DLC?

Yes. VOID Interactive built a player-friendly co-op model into Boiling Point: as long as the host of the session owns the DLC, all other players in the lobby can participate in the new missions without purchasing Boiling Point themselves. This means you can experience No Good Deed with friends even if only one person in your group has bought the DLC.

Where Does No Good Deed Fit in the Boiling Point Story?

No Good Deed is the first of three missions in the Boiling Point DLC. The full mission lineup is:

The events of No Good Deed directly destabilize Los Sueños, with the pier attack serving as the spark that ignites city-wide rioting. Playing through all three missions in order gives the fullest picture of the coordinated attack on the city's institutions that defines the Boiling Point narrative arc.
