The March Update Has Arrived!
Howdy gamers,
Welcome to the 27th edition of our biweekly newsletter! This time around, we wanted to showcase a few different concepts and weapon variants that are further out from being ready for public release. We're keeping an eye on any necessary hotfixes for the recently released March update and are hard at work on a much larger update for April, so we thought it would be good to offer a few teasers of what the future might hold.
New Weapon Variants -- MP5A3 and MP5A3/10MM
As we continue to work on brand new weapons for Ready or Not, we also want to show love to the subtle intricacies that existing weapons platforms already have. Whether these be different calibers, different furniture, or the ability to utilize different attachments, so long as it offers more options for the player to enjoy we're happy.
To that point, we've been working on two new variants of the venerable MP5 for Ready or Not. The MP5A3 and the MP5A3/10MM, its higher caliber cousin, are perfect examples of weapons that showcase and emphasize the subtle differences. This updated version of the world's most well-known and best trusted submachine gun features a lot more rail coverage for attachments, and in the case of the 10MM variant, a higher caliber. Both feature unique, updated audio to represent their differences from the existing MP5.

Suspect Ingenuity, AKA Shotgun Traps
On the conceptual side of development, we've been working on adding more variety to the traps and tools that suspects can utilize against the player. Chief among these has been the shotgun trap, an idea that we've held close to our hearts for years but never been able to dedicate time to creating it. Now, however, we're happy to showcase an in-game render of the new shotgun trap, and what it looks like from the other side of the door.

Conclusion
This brings an end to our 27th biweekly briefing, sharing some new weapon variants and a deadly new trap that we look forward to integrating into the game. Please tune in next time for even more development news!
