Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[B.FES 2]

I think rico is amazing. I have it at m1 and use it with viking m1.

[Kevred 1,586]

Wasp is too unstable to be used with Rico. I suggest you buy Freeze or Isida M1

For me, it's a good combo because its best for parkour and skills practicing. However, because of Wasp's high speed, I recommend you get a close range weapon for Wasp, like Freeze or Isida.

[Kevred 1,586]

yeah ive got firebird m1 and want another ranged gun m1 in case i get bored of short ranges and vice versa so is rico good with wasp? (in fighting, i mean)

[themaster360 11]

Please don't just say "ricochet sucks" or things like that, it's useless and practically flooding. (you're probably thinking that about this comment, but anyway.) Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to best fight ricochet?

Pretty simple really. If using Isida, you should be able to recognize if you can destroy their hull in one charge or not. If using Freeze surprise them and circle around them to avoid getting hit. If using Firebird use what amount of charge you need to destroy their hull and duck behind cover. If using Smoky/Thunder/Twins, try knocking off their aim by shooting the sides and corners of their hull. If using Rail, peek-a-boo tactics. If using Shaft... better hope he doesn't notice you, else your aim will be seriously disrupted.

It's not that good :( i got 100 to 200 xp (if i am luck) it's very weak compared to other turret's because since the light to medium hulls are getting popular it has become very weak since they can move to dodge..... i really don't enjoy it :( m0 rail if better and so is m0 smoky! i suggest making it less underpowerd like make the ball's go a little bit faster?? so we can hit tank's with some damage gone in and maybe the damage?? and parkour not that good :/ m0 to m1 can't clime wall's and m2 good and m3 is too be really please fix it! i know about micro upgrade it can help but what's the point if you are going to but the next mk and if you have m3 what's the point all the gun's out shines

 

NOTE:i am not asking for like just my idea since when i post in the idea's section they don't listen :( but if you wan't to like feel free it's free. :D

However in the higher ranks, a LOT of people have inferno and Zeus. Meaning lot of protection against freeze and firebird, with Zeus smoky. LOT of people (polly the most used paint) is prodigi and emerald. Protection against thunder, rail and twins. But almost no-one has paint against ricochet. So i think, its still the most "EFFECTIVE" (not "THE BEST") but the most EFFECTIVE turret.

-Personal opinion.

I completely agree. People just don't see them often enough plus they aren't considered that much of a threat now. They are partially right, as its underpowered compared to what it used to be. With skill, It can be a formidable turret IMHO.

 

So now I have a dilemma. By Monday I will only have enough crystals to get Rico m2 or mammoth m2. Which should I get? Note I also have thunder m2 tho I'm thinking of getting Rico because I wanna m2 all my weapons first.

Don't do that mistake. Don't take mammoth m2. Go for Rico.

Thanks. Any tips on using Rico?

[DanTheKiller1 2,889]

ricochet is horrible.  1900 crystals for a piece of junk that sucks, and barely does any damage.  it is very overrated.

Don`t even think of saying something that bad about such a great turret

Ricochet is absolutely amazing

It requires tons of skill to be used at full capacity,so i`m not expecting very much people to appreciate it

[whizclips 232]

Ricochet is actually pretty good. Used it in the test server, absolutely loved it!

[knight237238 175]

underrated but very annoying/godd/strong a combo that is deadly in the battlefeild and since hornet and railgun has become soo popular it is very easy now to play with because you can make an turret on an tank miss if you hit them XD ahhh happy times in the rico

[timmateo 8]

Do you have some ideas to make Ricochet better?

Suggestions?

.. :)

To make it cool and worthy To buy :ph34r:

[SpHryfBoss 573]

It already is cool, people just don't know how to use the bouncing ability to its advantage.

[Royalworld 1,269]

Increase its charge.

[danilo8667 234]

You know what is best ? When you miss enemy with rico but that lava ball is near him you damage it.

[Remaine 4,687]

It's not a horrible turret - it's just that I'm horrible at using it. It's difficult to specialise in such a turret although people make it work.

[LividTanki 7]

He most likely face palmed him, because Raphael2 is Major rank so he would need to get Ricochet M2 by now, but he only is planning to buy it, meaning it as M0. I seriously don't get why he is such a big noob, tho.

look. At your rank

[Amagi 1,728]

Stop quoting posts from last year.

And you obviously don't know what his main account is do you?

Agree +1

[RampagingVenom 554]

Actually used properly rico is 1 of the most effective turrets you can buy but of course that does depend on it`s user ;)

[Amagi 1,728]

Any turret that is mastered by its user becomes a formidable opponent. 

Although it takes more time and effort to master Ricochet, it can pwn.
