There are different characters you can select before starting a round of Take and Hold, which have different "pools" of weapons available to them. Ricky is one of them.

Part of it will be the weapon(s) the character starts with. Part of it will be obtained using tokens at the Supply Points discovered in the map (shown on your radar) which will award a random weapon from the pool. For most characters, better weapons show up the more "Holds" you have completed.
(I don't really play Take and Hold, so I'm basing this on my limited playtime and the things I've heard on the forums.)

Make sure you're using the current Take and Hold mode - not the one in the legacy modes section - they're not the same.

The legacy one doesn't have the character selection.

In the current T&H on the options panel to your left it'll have the sets of characters you can pick from.

This is on the main game now, you don't need to be on an alpha branch to use it.

Different characters will have different motifs, like there is a WW1-WW2 character with period appropriate weapons and enemies dressed the part. Ricky Dicky random is just basically all random weapons out of every gun in the game. A really fun character that makes you play with some of the guns you wouldn't normally choose for yourself out of the spawner. A good way to mix things up.

From the main hub when you first start the game, you need to load the "take and hold" scene. Once you are loaded in to that scene you will see a few big blue panels in front of you, along with a hot dog on a pedestal. On the far left panel is where you can change what "character" you play as. There are a couple different categories of character you can explore but I believe Ricky Random is in the "daring defaults" category. So select "daring defaults" and then select "ricky dicky random". You should see a picture of Ricky pop up on that left panel with a short written description of the character.

Then look at the next panel to the right, and set up the game options to your liking. Once you are ready to play, grab the hot dog and eat it.

Now you will start out with a random firearm, and when you spend points at the supply drops they will all be random firearms too. The random guns use a pistol icon but they are not just pistols, it's all the guns in the game. You will see a flag icon that you can spend points on too. That is a random accessory. That could be anything from a rail adapter, to a scope, to a suppressor, or any of the accessories.
