Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[ps90_unbeatable 53]

But they are so cute when they don't turn turret xD

It's the funniest when you shoot them, and they totally freak out and shoot and run away xD

ya even at my rank i don't see ricos turn their turrets and i tell them to turn their turrets or they don't survive but when i encounter some players who turn their turrets they're invincible. Edited October 14, 2014 by ps90_unbeatable

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

I once saw a gismo not turning turret with rico xD

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

[trombone_ftw 734]

But they all use Hornets, so their aim is accurate many times... drives me nuts.

With Ricochet, turning your turret isn't absolutely required, but it makes you look like a noob and massively reduces your performance in combat.

 

Anyway, I'm still dreaming of M4 Ricochet from the test server. It's almost tied with Smoky as my favorite M4 turret; extremely fast fire rate, good knockback, really good damage, and a really cool weapon model. It absolutely shreds anything without Ricochet protection. It's not as effective as Smoky for precisely knocking the aim of enemies, and it can't match the massive damage of Smoky's crits, but it has a better base DPS and is more reliable.

 

I would like to get both M3 Ricochet and M3 Smoky at some point.

Ricochet took over Tanki at one period...after the rebalance.

you kidding when I'm on dp and around 3-4 enemies i turn my turret and get straight 3 kills

and you should be ready to turn your turret precisely when your aim is getting knocked with smokey or thunder or rico.

and you should be always on the move it greatly reduces the knockback

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

Ricochet is amazing xD

if you use double power with it,you can kill a team xD

[hellboy1234567 546]

so u recommend rico M0 to M3 in the next sale?

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

i have it m3 already xD

but i would rather make smoky m3 if in your place...

Upgrade smoky to m3 xD

if your smoky m3 already go rico m3 xD

i will get(i hope) dictator m1,m2 and m3 at some 50% sale...

[hellboy1234567 546]

i had smoky M3 since tankers day...and i am having a little too much fun with it...now i need another toy, fire M3 is definitely gonna be in my garage in the next sale..just thinking about whether to get rico or shaft...both will be a direct M0 to M3 purchase

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

then rico m3,but killing enemies with shaft on double power fun also >_>

i want dictator,because i want to go gold hunting xD

[Smok-Ti-Thun 93]

 

Oh man, I am seriously thinking of making a topic in Ideas and Suggestions, saying to nerf Rico <.<

It is tooooo OP, the first guys was a drugging Mammoth Rico...

Agreed! A tiny nerf would suite it well IMO.

 

It is still OP: even more amazing if you see how much it already got nerfed after the Ricocalypse!

 

I reckon it has become the favorite noob weapon.

From a close-distance almost every opponent is doomed.

And at medium distance just shoot a bit in the right direction and many times

the bouncing effect does the rest. (you can even do this without knowing how to turn the turret... :rolleyes: )

 

It 's not that difficult to imagine the sheer damage it delivers in the hands of a skilled player...

 

(not interested in this weapon at all at the moment, I don 't like the "slow" moving plasma balls. At M3 these balls

move pretty fast, which is good. Time will tell, but first Smoky M2/M3! :wub: )

[Chameleos 157]

unless you're always on drugs,2 enemies in a row,and ur dead. that's how i see rico... but it's very good anyways

You can't even imagine how strong it is, we all know that the higher the rank in which a modification opens and the higher the price means that this turret is stronger, Smoky is the highest in terms of unlocking at a rank and second highest in terms of cost (after Twins M2 which unlocks at Lieutenant Colonel for some reason).

On the other hands, Rico, which costs almost 90K and unlocks at First Lieutenant is so much stronger than Smoky that unlocks 4 ranks after and costs 25K more, it is so over powered that in that same game, there was an M2 M2 Rico Hornet, I was an M2 M2 Smoky Mammoth, we once meet face to face with full health each because we just re-spawned, he got me so low as almost 1 HP until I manged to kill him! A Hornet Vs a Mammoth and he got me almost 1 HP with no help from other players, that is how OP Rico is, and IMO, it needs either a nerf in the fire rate, or in the damage each ball does, simply because it is too powerful for the rank that it unlocks at and it's cost.

 

Tbh, if they don't nerf it soon, I am buying M1 then M2 at the nearest sale, I just can't continue to play DMs with it in the field against me, I'd much rather have it on my side...

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I think M3 Ricochet is fine in terms of balance. M2 Rico is quite unbalanced though.

wait till u kill a mammoth,then face an m0 wasp with it. you will die. it's powerful in one to one,but once you're out of bullets well,you're dead unless u can hide. Smoky m2 instead can push way harder (just shoot the hornet at side and he'll probably miss...) and has no bullets limit

True, but it's reload speed is too fast, it can reload very fast.

[trombone_ftw 734]

I wonder if I should buy it M2..? M3 is a beast, but M2 is very strong also, and it is SO MUCH FUN on Wasp!!

If you're going to get it M2, you might have to give up M2 Thunder, which doesn't sound like something you'd do.

 

M3 Ricochet is sofriggenfuntouse. The bouncing effect is very useful, and there's nothing like unloading a stream of deadly plasma balls into an unsuspecting enemy. I might get M2 Rico as well, since the abundance of Thunder paints means that M2 Thunder might have some issues against higher ranks.

no they should not nerf rico it's already not good at medium range and forget about long range and you can directly buy m2 without buying m1 right?

Edited October 16, 2014 by ps90_unbeatable

[trombone_ftw 734]

It's just fine at medium range. The problem is that it is NOT  short range weapon, yet it dominates short range.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I think Ricochet is mostly alright for now, but the damage on M2 Rico might be a little too high.

Rico might be deadly on certain maps.. but the amount of spark, desert, and dragon users ruin rico. M2 Smoky protection paints are less common than ricochet protection paints. Edited October 16, 2014 by Misdirect

m1 wasp can be killed in two shots of rico m2 Drugger :o
