Ready or Not: Boiling Point — "A New America" Secret Endings & Full Walkthrough Guide

When Void Interactive dropped the Boiling Point DLC in early 2026, it took everything we knew about tactical shooters and threw it out the window. The final mission, A New America, isn’t just about clearing rooms and saving hostages—it’s a deep, morally charged investigation that asks more of the player than any mission before it. Whether you’re a completionist aiming for an S-Rank, or just hoping to see all the hidden lore, there’s a lot more to A New America than meets the eye. Let’s break down the crucial elements of this game-changing mission and what it takes to unlock the secret endings. Strap in—this one’s gonna get intense.

1. The Setting: A City on the Brink

A New America takes place at the height of chaos, with Los Sueños City Hall under siege by the Mariposa Lily terrorist group. The hostage situation quickly escalates from a standard rescue op to something much deeper, as it’s clear the plot involves a national conspiracy. While your primary objective is to save the Mayor and neutralize the threat, there are layers of intrigue beneath the surface that lead to some of the most jaw-dropping endings you could imagine.

2. How to Unlock the “True” S-Rank Ending

If you’re looking to get the Golden Ending, where everything goes smoothly, here’s the rundown:

Steps to Unlock the True S-Rank:

100% Non-Lethal: This is the biggest challenge. Every suspect, even the heavily armored Vanguard units, must be arrested alive. Forget about lethal force—Beanbag Shotguns and the VKS Pepperball Launcher are your best friends here.
Signal Jammer: On the 3rd floor, you’ll find a Signal Jammer in the Server Maintenance Room. Failing to jam it means the “Flower Head” bombers on the 4th floor will detonate their vests when you breach the courtroom.
Rescue the Mayor: The Mayor is hiding in a panic room. Find the keycard from the Chief of Staff (downed or arrested) to access it.

The Outcome: If you succeed, you’ll witness the LSPD SWAT team walking out of City Hall as the sun rises, with a news report confirming that the conspiracy has been thwarted. It’s a hopeful, heroic conclusion, with rewards like the Silver Shield helmet skin and the True Patriot achievement.

3. The Secret “Prison” Ending: Unveiling the Green Dragon Society

Now, for those who want to dig deeper into the narrative, there’s a secret ending that most players miss—the Prison Ending, which uncovers the hidden truth behind the Mariposa Lily and their connections to a more powerful group: the Green Dragon Society.

Ready or Not: Boiling Point DLC Review: Is the 2026 Expansion Worth It?

How to Trigger It:

Basement Evidence: Before heading upstairs, check out the black SUV in the basement parking lot. Use a Lockpick Gun to access the trunk, which contains the Trans-Pacific Shipping Manifestos—this is your first clue.
The Mayor’s Secret Room: In the Mayor’s Office on the 4th floor, you’ll find a red-bound book on the bookshelf titled “The Rising Sun.” Interact with it to reveal a laptop. Don’t shoot it, just use it to download the data.
Final Choice: When you confront the “Ideologue” on the 4th floor, don’t immediately arrest him. Let him finish his 2-minute monologue about the Green Dragon. Once he kneels, arrest him.

The Outcome: Instead of the usual debriefing, you’ll get a shocking prison scene where Judge talks to a mysterious man behind glass. The dialogue hints that SWAT wasn’t there to save the day—they were actually a “cleanup crew” sent to destroy evidence. Now, Judge has become a target. This ending sets up the potential for Ready or Not 2, and it’s a thrilling, cliffhanger moment.

4. The “Worst” Ending: The Collapse of Los Sueños

This is the tragic conclusion where everything goes wrong, and Los Sueños spirals into chaos. If you’re not careful with your tactical choices, you might trigger this bleak ending.

How It Triggers:

High Fatality Rate: If you kill more than 70% of the suspects, you’re heading for a bad outcome.
Failure to Jam: If you don’t activate the Signal Jammer, the courtroom will explode when you breach, killing your team and the hostages.
Killing the Mayor: If the Mayor gets caught in the crossfire (even by a stray flashbang), this ending is locked in.

The Outcome: The city burns, civil unrest erupts, and the federal government disbands SWAT. It’s a grim, dark cinematic that ends with the screen fading to black, showing the text: “The city has fallen. Order is a memory.”

5. Critical Soft Objectives You Can’t Miss

For those chasing the secret endings, there are a number of hidden objectives you must complete to unlock the full story. Missing even one could mean the difference between a regular ending and one of the hidden gems.

Soft Objectives:

The Blue Folders: These Mariposa Manifestos are scattered around desks and look like standard blue folders. Keep an eye out for the white lily icon on the cover.
The Wounded Whistleblower: On the 2nd floor balcony, a civilian is bleeding out. Save him using a Medkit or by calling the Trauma Team for help. He holds vital information for the Prison Ending.
The Burned Documents: On the 4th floor, suspects are burning files in a trash can. Use a Fire Extinguisher or a Gas Grenade to stop the fire and secure the documents.

6. Tactical Loadout for “A New America”

The difficulty spike on the 4th floor of City Hall is real. Here’s what the community recommends for optimal loadout:

Recommended Gear:

Primary Weapon: VKS Pepperball with a high-capacity hopper. Perfect for non-lethal takedowns.
Tactical Device: 9-Bang Flashbangs. Regular flashbangs won’t do much against suspects with ear protection—9-Bangs give you a full 5-second stun window.
Armor: Full Steel Plate (Heavy). Expect high-caliber rifle fire (7.62mm) in the long hallways.
Night Vision: White Phosphor Goggles. The 4th floor’s emergency lighting creates a harsh bloom effect, making standard NVGs nearly useless.

7. Deep Lore: Who Is the “Flower Head”?

The biggest mystery in the Boiling Point DLC is the character Flower Head. This bomber, revealed in the Secret Prison Ending, was once a rogue LSPD officer who went off the rails after the events of the “Valley of the Dolls” mission. Finding his personnel file hidden in the City Hall archives adds extra context to the final showdown, allowing players to engage in a tense conversation with him—potentially even talking him down.
