Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[UnderPlayer_Br 6]

          Hello players, I'm going to start a new account today, and I'll probably play ricochet, but not much ricocheting skills, you could share some tips for me, besides the ones that the wiki offers.

 

Thank

You want us to re-read the WIKI suggestions and then subtract those from what we might tell you?  :D :lol:

 

- Fire blindly around corners and into tunnels.  If you see white counter, keep firing until you see red counter, or no counter.

- Ricco deals a lot of damage fairly quickly, so DD is often more useful than other supplies like DA.

- Use it's considerable impact force on lighter hulls (or Viking  :(  ) to make them miss their aim

lol viking used to be a medium hull but now it really does feel like a light hull, with health bonus

You’d be well served by reading this thread from the beginning.

 

Ricochet is a lot of fun in low ranks. You will need to learn to lead your enemy a bit, so to speak so that they drive into your projectiles. Later, buy the Minus Field Stabilization alteration and your shots travel faster making this less of an issue.

 

After destroying an enemy, don’t immediately re-engage. Give your energy bar a few seconds to refill. Then go get ‘em.

 

There’s lots more but for a beginner that’s a start.

Is m2 ricochet any good for my rank? I want a medium range gun but I feel that thunder is hard to use if your enemies get close, so I think I want to try ricochet.  Any tips?

[ScoobyDeww 14]

It was unlocked 4 ranks ago, so you're a bit late.  But it's still a decent turret and you have 6 ranks until m3's are unlocked.

It's definitely better up close than Thunder.

 

If you do buy it you may also want to consider the MFS alteration.

I find the shots too slow as stock, and the range is not great.  The MFA alt has no real downside ever since they increased # of shots Ricco can take.

Twins with the distance alteration.

[enri_chill 265]

Twins with the distance alteration.

Twins is a ridiculously devastating turret at almost every level. It maximizes OD and drugs like no other turret. Whenever I am getting frustrated at someone on the enemy (normally a spawn killer that I am dropped into the MM halfway through the battle), I will gear up with Twins (I just don't like playing with it as much as I do shaft, vulcan, rico, smoky, or thunder) and set protections vs them...it never goes well for them after that :D

why rico does not damage some projectiles ??? solve the problem !!!

My problem with Ricochet right now is its seemingly infinite ammo.

 

I have 33% Rico protection and double armour on Titan M3 yet the M4 Ricochets have enough ammo to kill me and shoot 7 more bullets at an incoming enemy immediately as I die.  

 

I remember them saying that, after the last balance change for Ricochet, the M4 Version can shoot up to 29 bullets consecutively in one clip. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be around 16 shots for M4 Ricochet before that. There is a noticeable reduction in damage when you use the protection module for Ricochet compared to Twins but it seems like Ricochet can take on two people if they both have less than 25% protection. 

 

If no one had Rico protection in the high rank, Ricochets could very well dominate DMs. Let's just be glad people are smart enough to enable Rico protection on a regular basis.

Well along wih the shots per clip increase came the range reduction so Rico is more  short range weapon and you can counter it well

I just recently got my rico to m4, and noticed it shoots enough bullets to take down heavy hulls with 50% protection, even if they use a repair kit... and no, they were not low on health, just spawned. crazy... maybe its a good thing there are no actually decent alterations for this turret lol

My m3 ricochet is 10/20!

 

WHAT TO BUY ?

 

 Plasma Torch or make it 20/20 

 

obs: I already have Minus-field stabilization

Stop at 14 or 15 / 20.  Wait until you have more protections and an m3 heavy hull before going final MUs.

 

You really need more modules and better modules.

Just bought MFS alteration and it transformed rico into a great turret

And people say that MFS makes it worse...

I was just in a battle with a rank 11 (Warrant 1) M1 Rico/Viking.  I'm sure he was fully MUed to 10 so he was a virtual M2 and he was always max drugs...so double damage all the time. 

 

I was using an M1 Viking MU7 and even with a double armor he was one shoting me (and everyone else too) every time...even when I was full health and had just spawned in.. 

 

Any idea which alteration he might have been using or was his massive destructive power some sort of hack.  I've never seen this kind of killing power from a Rico at any level.

Are you sure it was a one-shot? Are you sure there wasn't any other player from afar that might have shot you and you didn't know? If not, then this should be a hack. 

 

M4 Ricochet does 300-400 within maximum damage range. With double damage, that goes up to 600-800 per shot. I know that Viking M1 goes up about 44 health every upgrade towards M2 so you would probably have 2,250. You would need 3 shots at least to die from an M4 Ricochet with Double damage. This is definitely a hack that should be reported, especially when it's centred around a turret that fires ever 0.7 seconds at least. 

 

There is no alteration that increases Ricochet's direct damage.

No, this guy was consistently slaughtering everyone the same way all the time...one shot and you're dead...I was hoping it might be an alt because I wanted one too :) bloody deadly thing.  But, with your reply, I'm pretty sure it was some sort of new (at least to me) hack. I sure hope thi shack doesn't get out into the general public, it's a game wrecker.

It's called maxed booster drone. Kind of like a 'hack' currently.

 

I have it also and and get called cheater once or twice per few battles. Especially deadly with railgun and instant reload alt.

This was in the very low ranks...wielded by a Warrant 1 (rank11), so if he had this drone at that rank it still had to be some sort of actual hack since Booster Drone is not available until Brigadier (rank23)
