| Levels | 2 |
| Affects | Only affects Assault Rifles and SMGs |
Ready, Rested, Reloaded makes automatic weapons cheaper to fire and faster to reload. The first level cuts the stamina cost of shooting an assault rifle or a submachine gun, and the second speeds up reloading while the bar is healthy. The whole automatic weapon branch of the Reflexes tree is bought through it. Rifle builds start here.
Effect
Firing an automatic weapon costs stamina, which is the reason a long burst leaves a build with nothing left to dodge with. Taking part of that cost away is what lets the trigger stay down.
The second level ties reload speed to the same bar. Above half stamina the reload is much faster, which rewards a build that manages its firing rather than emptying the magazine every time.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | -10% Stamina cost for shooting AR and SMGs. |
| 2 | +30% reload speed when above 50% Stamina. |
How to Unlock Ready, Rested, Reloaded

Character Builds
The build is the automatic weapon Reflexes build. An assault rifle or a submachine gun is the weapon, the movement perks below should already be bought, and stamina is the resource the whole branch manages.
Buy both levels as the Pro gate opens, then Mind Over Matter and Tunnel Vision to fix the weapon's handling. Sharpshooter at the Phenom gate is the destination, and everything above that reads its stacks. Muscle Memory far below is what lets the faster reload happen on the move.
Notes
The picks above it refine the same two weapon classes. Mind Over Matter cuts recoil, Tunnel Vision extends range and accuracy, Spice Of Life speeds up weapon swaps and Sharpshooter turns sustained fire into stacking bonuses.
Muscle Memory lower in the tree allows reloading on the move, so the faster reload happens while V is running.
