Well, starting at m2 :P

[r_SpiderPig12 98]

Yeah but it is hard at m1 too because of the slow speed of the shots

[Smok-Ti-Thun 93]

This is my best score (non-drugging) with the Viking M1 - Rico M1 combo in Polygon DM from a while ago.

Ricochet is really good, you just need to learn how to get the most out of it! B)

 

I stopped fighting with the Rico because it became too hard against the many Thunder M1 's. Just had the ( ugly! ) Dragon paint, nice against another Rico-player, but further useless.

But now I have the Cedar paint! Bought this paint actually for using it with the Thunder M1 I obtained as well at the discount.

 

My plan was to pick up the Rico again at M2, but now I will give the Rico M1 another run in a Polygon DM  with the decent Thunder-protection from the Cedar. :)

 

I will post the result in due time.

 

By the way: the gameplay-picture is a nice example (by coincedence) how to use the Rico. You come out, shoot your plasma-balls just untill your opponent meets his maker......than you retreat and take cover, in this case behind the building, and wait a short time for your gun to fully reload (if possible ofcourse) and so on and on.......

yea,but you need to struggle a lot with rico 

the only m where is truly very good is m3

under m3 is just decent...

Yeah you could be right, as I wrote in my larger "review" of the Rico at page 29:

 

"Conclusion till now: really nice gun, pretty hard to master, but also fun!

Only thing I doubt at the end is it's effectiveness, I am really still in the dark about that."

 

But I will try the Rico intensively again at M2, at M1 level I just want to see if the Cedar paint can really make a difference!

Still the gun is very nice to play with ánd I enjoy it to have to put in some extra effort, to make it properly work...... :)

 

The M3 seems to be OP, even more so because (if I am not mistaking) most Paints at this moment are choosen to protect against Thunder, Railgun and Smokey! Ofcourse that might change in the future.... :mellow:

im not nearly as good as you guys -_- :rolleyes:

train more :ph34r:

[Smok-Ti-Thun 93]

Well that was the Rico M1 for now.....just did some battles with it, went ok but as Bugatti already wrote: fighting with Rico is quite a struggle!

It may rest now in the garage untill I can upgrade it to M2. On this account I will continue with Thunder M1.

 

After some short battles between equals I decided to do two battles underneath high-rankers with some M2 equipment to see what the Rico M1 could do. The first one did not "run" the second one was ok.

 

The Rico M1 is not too bad, but it is far easier to fight with Thunder M1.

With Rico M1 against high-rankers you got to steal kills as much as you can. :ph34r:

And the thing you will miss the most is the splash-damage of the Thunder. Nothing can beat that multiple kill-effect! B)

 

There are also a lot of Freeze M2 's in these battles, devastating weapon, really scary stuff.... :unsure:

 

In this battle were quite some druggers, so I did pretty well I think:

 

[bapatizeninja 23]

train more :ph34r:

only been like 3 days seens i got m1 ill give it another shout :)

[Smok-Ti-Thun 93]

only been like 3 days seens i got m1 ill give it another shout :)

Could be a good idea to open a practice account with a Rico M0 so you get the hang of it, without ranking too fast with your just obtained Rico M1.

 

The Rico M1 unlocks quite early so take full advantage of that before the Thunder M1 's start to appear....... :rolleyes:

 

Keep on training! And know that in the end there is a Rico M3........ B)

 

At least you will always be better than the player who finished as last in the uploaded picture above! 59 lost and 0 destroyed....he must have had lag, paused continuously, etc........otherwise he deserves the prize for most determined player!! :D

Play against lower ranks - in order for it to be good at your rank and above, it must be M2.

What do you think it will ever be richochet m3 in kit for buying? A got m2 and is fun playing with him but is to week for killing viking m2 with full charge up close is hard to killem, not to speak from afar no protection paint, whit right paint is impossible.I played on test server whit m3 and is strong aginst viking , dictator , hunter m3 even titan m3. 

   

[liam2rules 62]

Is Rico m1 worth getting after I m1 rail?

I have m1 wasp mammoth smokey and isoda

[doughnut2100 763]

I love rico, dont use it much anymore, but when I do I am glad the new pnysics came in. I saw an m2 rico the other day, he kept draining life so fast. :o

the secret is the acuracy,if you have noticed the most rico users are completely noobs that can barely hit a target :lol:

[ziaayadad 26]

Rico isn't anything at all at m2 I regret buying this in the first place, It takes a full charge to kill an m2 hornet or wasp and when Rico exceeds 15 percent protection it becomes too powerful to attack. Even the tiny amount of protection from my irbis paint on ricochet makes dictator Rico or mammoth and Rico users feel like nothing. It's all in ur head ( to those rico users) you think that Rico is strong and it's good but it's not. I know how to bounce shots but how can u escape once there is a hornet or wasp and considering the fact that it's unstable to have it on a hornet or wasp.

I kind of have to agree.. Rico M2 is almost entirely useless past Major rank.. until the point where M3 Rico unlocks... its just really sitting in my garage, not doing much. The only place I've found it to be relatively useful was in Farm... and honestly even then, I would've done equally well if not far better by using Smoky M2... heck.. or any other of my 5 M2 weapons.... I have yet to try it in a DM... maybe it will shine in Polygon, but in almost all other maps it seems entirely useless at M2 when vsing Major - Lieutenant General ranks. Its saddening because I was honestly really looking forward to using Ricochet M2 when I bought it. I wish its M2 version was slightly boosted, so there would be a smaller jump from M2->M3... at least it would be useable early-game.
