ok just noticed this on Ricochet , that if your flipped onto your side .. instead of flipping back to normal when you turn your turrets  .. with this new splash damage it now kills u instead of being able to  flipping you ,  back to normal..

Best way to rule with ricochet (:i use ths with m1 so it might not work with differant upgrades) Buy loads of double damage and every time u see hard enemies (or normal) hit three and shoot.

at your rank try going to battles with lower ranks ..this way you rank faster and also gain  more exp .... try to cut back on using drugs if you do use them.. if you are using them then try one pick up to one drop and continue threw out the battle , u might have the odd time with none ..when this happens try to hide behind buildings or stuff .. in one round of shots you should be able to get at less 1 -3 kills per round .. sometimes u can get 5 kills if your lucky and depending on if the other tank your trying to kill has little health .. good luck in battles if u need help on rico feel free to contact me .. and yea i have lower ranks to battle with u

who doesn't just love Rico :wub:  (except for the short clip & long reload :unsure:)

there isnt really an actual point of reload time where you have to stop shooting the rate just slows down :)

the best way to get experience points and rank up with ricochet is capture the flag you get around 10 experience points for each person on the opposite team.and with ricochet's ricochet you can take out the person with the flag without catching or getting close to them for a clear shot and it's plasma ball shot angles up and down at a certain distance  so you can take them out even on the level above you.        friend me and ill play one one

Sure, a slowly traveling plasma instead of an instanteniously hitting round, sure, a clip which is empty after 10ish shots instead of a constant rate of fire, and spending an extra 100k on alteration to have it.. sure..

Sorry for the late reply :P.

 

You miss my point. Ricochet has an extremely high DPS, something that Thunder lacks in. In CP mode, being able to deal a large amount of splash damage quickly is extremely useful, which is why someone would buy the splash alteration for Ricochet (as Thunder has a significantly lower DPS).

Isn't that an Alteration which you can un-equip?

I also think that this alteration is extrmely usefull on poly CP.

 

I already managed to take more advantage out of my Twins' splash effect, then harming myself with it..

And a rico can harm itself way less, becuase it has a longer attack range (with less misses).

Got it, I never think about Poly CP,  "brickonspace" slaughter type battles because my tank is not ideal for them. You are right, also people won't wear protection against Rico there, because the one without splash is a joke for this kind of battle. I would still not buy it for myself.

Has anyone used the minus field stabilization alteration on the Rico? 

What are your thoughts? 

Is it worth the crystals?

I haven't ever used it but from playing against it I can say it is pretty strong and worth it if you plan on using rico a lot.

Totally worth it, now I can't live without it. Once I entered a game with alterations turned off, my rico felt like a cotton candy launcher.. :)

Now I am showing my ignorance again, but can you combine alterations? I know you can't if it is under the same "box." But what about two different ones such as the distance one on rico and the splash damage on rico too?

You can combine both. But you should only buy the splash alteration if you play one point CP matches, such as Polygon CP.

Okay i'm gonna tell you what I think of the turret.

But firstly i'd like to explain that I have m0 10/10 rico on my main, and m2 rico on an alt.

 

Rico is probably 1 of the most OP turrets in the game. If you think it's not, well you clearly havent seen a decent rico user.

 

Main advantage of rico, ability to bounce off a surface several times and hitting around corners.

 

Most rico usrs in their game dont turn their turret and they prove to be a challenge at times.

 

Rico's in maps that have buildings and tunnerls, especially a rico firing in the blue base of noise is dangerous.

 

Another positive is that Legacy modules died, so clay doesnt exist, and many don't use much rico protection at all since its not a popular turret.

 

I have seen the strength of m4 rico, it is a force to be reckoned with, can make people have aims knocked off too if shot wisely.

 

If you do not believe so, you simply don't know how to use it, no offence.

 

Last thing, i do NOT recommend using the splash alteration for ricochet, it will just turn rico into a Striker like turret in its non salvo mode but quicker.

 

I am just waiting for XT M3 rico, might be years tho...

 

edit; it's range is also pretty epic, noticeable in Poly CP's

It is still my favorite turret. M4, especially with the minus field stabilization alteration (range), is ridiculously good.
