Greased Palms Mission Guide

The **Greased Palms** mission in Ready or Not throws players into a high-stakes raid at the Los Sueños Postal Service facility. Responding to a violent shootout involving LSPD detectives and weapons smugglers from the Los Locos Del Pacificos gang, your D Platoon team must restore order, secure civilians, and apprehend key suspects like FISA Agent Jack Adams and Maria Lopez. This sprawling map tests tactical precision amid long sightlines, hidden threats, and chaotic interiors.

Mission Background and Setup

Set on October 25, 2025, the scenario unfolds after detectives uncover a smuggling operation aided by corrupt insiders. A deadly exchange leaves one suspect dead and a detective critically wounded, prompting your SWAT team’s deployment. The postal complex features offices, processing areas with conveyor belts, warehouses, and outdoor parking zones, creating diverse combat environments.

Expect unarmored suspects wielding pistols alongside heavily armed foes with AKM and M4A1 rifles that penetrate standard Kevlar. Civilians and key non-combatants wander unpredictably, demanding careful identification and non-lethal handling where possible.

All Main Objectives Explained

Greased Palms features several core tasks that must be completed for mission success. Prioritize them systematically to avoid score penalties.

• Bring Order to Chaos: Neutralize or arrest all armed contacts across the facility. This broad objective covers every hostile encountered, from gang members in offices to snipers in processing rooms.
• Rescue All Civilians: Identify and detain unarmed individuals. Scan for compliance signals like raised hands; use zip ties to secure them safely.
• Arrest FISA Agent Jack Adams: Locate and apprehend the prime suspect without lethal force, even if he draws a weapon. He’s often guarded.
• Arrest Maria Lopez: Secure this civilian collaborator, typically in office spaces like the storefront or annex.
• Find Eugene Gomez: Detain this civilian, who spawns in high-risk areas like the conveyor belt room.
• Locate FISA Office and Tag Evidence: Search for the office and interact with key items like bins or documents.

Prime Suspect Locations

Finding high-value targets efficiently is crucial. Here’s where to look:

Soft Objectives for Bonus Points

Completing these hidden goals boosts your score toward A or S ranks.

• Incapacitated Los Locos Shooter: Trace the blood trail from storefront backrooms to a stack of boxes where the wounded suspect hides. Report the body.
• Illegal Firearms Crate: Check open mail trucks outside the warehouse near Gate 1 (opposite spawn). Tag the stash inside.

These are quick to grab during sweeps and essential for high grades.

Optimal Clearing Routes

The map’s size demands a structured approach. Start conservatively to minimize risks.

1. Storefront and Backrooms: Enter via main entrance. Clear counters, bathrooms, and rear areas. Check for Maria Lopez and blood trail here first.
2. Annex and Offices: Wedge doors if needed. Sweep for civilians and Adams in ground-floor spaces.
3. Processing Center Approach: Circle outside via garage doors for better sightlines. Avoid direct entry due to AI pathing issues and conveyor traps.
4. Second Floor and Warehouse: Ascend after ground clear. Methodically check overlooks and loading bays.
5. Outer Parking and Gate 1: Final sweep for trucks and stragglers.

Use mirrors and drones for peeking; command AI to hold positions at chokepoints.

Recommended Loadouts for Success

Tailor gear to the map’s open areas and rifle threats.

• Primary Weapon: MK18 or similar with SS190 AP rounds for armor penetration. Add angled grip for CQC.
• Secondary: Beanbag shotgun or taser for arrests.
• Lethal Alternative: M320 launcher for room clears and long-range suppression.
• Armor: Steel or Ceramic plates essential against high-caliber fire.
• Tools: Flashbangs, CS gas, wedges, zip ties, and Optiwand.

For S-rank, swap to non-lethal primaries like R7 Launcher setups.

Tips for A+ and S-Rank Performance

• Wear heavy armor early; switch to lighter for speed if pursuing S.
• Non-lethal S-runs demand perfect headshots on shielded suspects.
• AI quirks in conveyor room: Lead them or go solo.
• Tag everything: Evidence bins, bodies, crates.
• Practice map knowledge; restarts help refine routes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Where is FISA Agent Adams most likely?

Check the main office first, then second-floor or processing center. Always tag the bin.

How do I find soft objectives?

Blood trail in storefront back for shooter; Gate 1 trucks for guns.

Why does AI struggle in processing?

Pathing issues; approach externally.

Best for S-rank?

Non-lethal loadout, M320, perfect clears.

Solo tips?

Drone heavily, prioritize sightlines, steel armor.

Advanced Strategies and Common Pitfalls

Avoid rushing processing center—it’s a killzone with elevated positions. Instead, flank via exteriors. Suspects love human shields; train headshots. For multiplayer, assign roles: one on drones, others on entry. Post-1.0 updates refined AI, but long sightlines still punish exposure.

Score breakdown: Full objectives + softs = A+; zero downs + non-lethal = S.
