Copy and paste from previous year. And of course same mistake repeated! Once again braindead players defending territories that doesn't even border the "front line" like for example Capitals, Magadan and Sandal. Is it really that hard to block possibility to vote for such territories or ya gonna give goofy excuses like "it's players fault they do this" or "in each fraction such situation happens, so be happy enemies also sabotage their own team and helping your one" etc. Guess I am once again asking for too much... Won't be suprised that once again Stars bought for Rubies also count for this event. At least we get guaranteed prizes and many keys for just 100 Rubies (via buying event pass). Also, were there any changes to map after publishing announcement about it and before today? I see some small changes comparing now and what's in announcement.  

Rico is fine. It has lower DPS compared to other medium ranged turrets like twins. Its DPS is not consistent like other medium ranged turrets. Stats wise it has the same range stats as twins but without the splash damage and with higher reload time. Rico's kill time is high and to ricochet efficiently you need to be in a close range and in certain angles of the map which is far from being consistent or OP. Ricocheting in general require skill unlike splash damage. Rico losses most if not all close ranged combat with other turrets whether due to reload time or lower DPS. The vast majority of Rico users does not really use the ricocheting well, their usage is very limited to certain angles and most of the time they just go forward into 1 v X situation where Rico losses. I think Ricocheting potential is high but it requires skill, Map knowledge and position awareness while keeping safe distance to really reach that potential which most players lack. Something excels with skill expression is a sign of good design, likewise it should suck without skill expression. I don't mind a turret looking like it is OP in the hands of a skillful player as long as the condition that made it OP is the skills of the player. The problem is that Tanki became so easy and very noob friendly with so many things that makes the gameplay easy such as Hovering hulls and other OP augments and some new turrets that plays the game for you such as scorpion's missiles.

Yo my keys give it back, 1 weekly secret missions are a hell of a work bro

Alternatively, lose damage upon ricocheting, add an augment where ricocheting increases damage (initial damage nerfed but tanks may just leave it lowkey), easy money and 'content' generation. We could still have vacuum ricochet too...poor destab rico forgotten

Thank you tanki, because of a [redacted] new bp, we all lose out on 1 key each if we aren't awake quick enough to purchase it? This will likely happen again since the event spans over another battle pass. What terrible game design to scam players off a single key each 🤣   Can yall actually try to get this sorted out properly so people get the justified rewards, cuz I'm sure support will simply say 'you didn't have the battle pass' to many people at the time the reward was calculated. For an insanely short timeframe it means a lot of players will lose out due to an absurd timing requirement, why couldn't y'all just tie the game start and end with server restarts for simplicity???   @Marcus, @Opex-Rah Comments? Surely I'm not the only one who sees, this, I should probably check the russian forum too...
