Ready or Not
Lethal TTK and recoil punish slop
SCUM
Realistic gunplay and ballistics punish poor aim

Mostly scripted suspects, limited reads
SCUM
Human players ambush and adapt across the island
Variance4 vs 5
SCUM leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Ready or Not
Suspect placement and AI behavior varies
SCUM
Loot spawns and unseen players create constant unknowns
Optimization5 vs 6
SCUM leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Loadouts, breaching tools, team plans
SCUM
Deep metabolism and gear systems reward planning
