Ready or Not: Suspects Now More Reactive in Patch 21677

Patch 21677 for Ready or Not, also known as the PvE Update, is now available on Steam. It brings some AI improvements and a wealth of bug fixes.

The armored suspects in Ready or Not will now react more severely to bullet impacts. On top of that, some changes were applied to how suspects react when encountering a player. Perhaps, they're more aggressive now than before.

For bug fixes, the issue where bullets were not penetrating through limbs is resolved. Also, the excessive camera movement that happens when the player/suspect is shot with certain weapons is fixed.
