Thanks to MMMM (O_O) over on the Ready or Not Discord for helping me expand this section with more information revolving around these two Traits specifically as well as providing the Ready or Not: Mechanics, Damage & Suspects Spreadsheet. Thanks for the mention!

This section will go in-depth into how both traits function, and how much of a benefit they are under real gameplay circumstances.

Armorer: +100% Ceramic Armor, Ballistic Mask, and Helmet Durability for both The Player and SWAT AI. Has no effect on Steel or Kevlar.
Effect only applies once.

*Further Context: Ceramic Plates have a durability of 4, Ballistic Masks have a durability of 2, and Helmets have a durability of 1. Armorer improves this to 8, 4, and 2 respectively.

Ceramic Plates, Ballistic Masks and Helmets block all damage until broken.
Only Ceramic Plates continue to provide a 40% Damage Reduction after being broken.

Helmets have a 25% Chance of deflecting bullets, even after being broken. This causes no damage to the player or Durability remaining.
Ballistic Visors have a 33% Chance of deflecting bullets.

In order of least damaging to most damaging.

.45 ACP rounds deal 0.3 Damage.
9mm & 10mm rounds deal 0.5 Damage.

12 Gauge Buckshot deals 0.125 x 8 for every pellet that hits the armour (1 Total).

And all other calibers deal 1 Durability Damage per bullet.

Simplified, with Armorer your armor can survive:

Helmets will survive at least 6 .45ACP Rounds, 4 9/10mm Rounds, and 2 Rifle Rounds.

Ballistic Masks will survive at least 12 .45ACP Rounds, 8 9/10mm Rounds, and 4 Rifle Rounds.

Ceramic Plates (Each Plate) will survive 26 .45ACP Rounds, 16 9/10mm Rounds, and 8 Rifle Rounds. That's a lot of damage you can shrug off before getting minced.


Nutritionist: Increases both The Player and SWAT AI's Health.
Effect stacks. (+25%, +30%, +33%, +35% more Health.)
*For reference: The Player and SWAT AI have 160HP. This is increased to 200HP, 208HP, 212.8HP, 215HP respectively.

Both The Player and SWAT AI will fall unconscious reaching 50% or less Health.
Your effective Health Pool is 80, 100, 104, 106.4 and 107.5. You'll still "bleed" and be considered dead in the mission screen.

These weapons have their damage reduced by 50% from Kevlar. For headshot values, multiply by 3.
12 Gauge Buckshot deal 40 - 35 (Point Blank - Far Range) damage per pellet.
The Makarov and AK102/103 deal 50 - 40 Damage.
9mm Rounds deal 80* - 35 Damage.
.45 ACP & 10mm Rounds deal 100 - 60 Damage.


These weapons have their damage reduced by 70% from Steel. Spalling deals an additional 1 Damage that ignores damage reduction.
The P250 and FiveSeveN deal 80* - 45 Damage.
5.56x39mm Rounds deal 132.5* - 107.5* Damage.
.300BLK Rounds & SLR47 deal 145* - 112.5* Damage.
