So how's the ricochet?

[Grimno]

Haven't played since the patch released, was curious for those who have played how bad is the ricochet?
Overtuned? No difference?
If I'm spraying automatons with the sickle, am I just going to kill myself?
Do you need to always have the personal shield on now in order to block your own shots?

Never even hit me once. Played all day. Stalwart, punisher, used a bunch of light armor weapons. Never rico'd myself ever.

[NOOBSURVIVES YT]

shot charger multiple times with auto cannon only got hit back once or twice. Since i also use heavy armor it only grazed me. it seems the same as before but yes it will ricochet back if you keep shooting.

Mag dumped the stationary HMG into a chargers face and just made sparks.

it doesnt auto aim you. it always ricochets and always has. the difference is NOW if you get hit by the ricochet you will get hurt, instead of only your teammate.

its a bugfix not a feature addition

Got killed twice yesterday "by myself" while shooting hulk with AMR. Guess adding deadly ricochet is totally a brilliant idea by godlike devs who still can't fix scope misalignment on bunch of guns.

Bullets don't work like that, especially explosive ones, a 180° ricochet would require a flat impact in which case it wouldn't bounce at all.

Never noticed it

Unnoticedable. If you mess up, you are ought to be punished. So it seems to be just more of a fix rather than a big change.

This. Their patch notes are confusing as usual with them trying to inject humour. They fixed situations where players would be able to spam armour probing for weakpoints at close range with impunity. (though a hazard for teammates) Now if you pull that crap those ricochets will hurt. No panic mag dumping your Light Pen AR into that Hulk/Devastator/Charger 5m in front of you.

Friend had an eruptor shrapnel hit him 50 meters away. Bugged as hell. The charger was literally down a hillside. Good thing they decided to add a way for us to die again. I really do appreciate the game getting harder and harder. I hate when games are fun. I want them to be excruciating second jobs. I remember thinking "this game is way too fun" at release, and really hoping they would patch the fun out so I can ride the struggle bus every time I drop. I also thought "Some of these weapons are a little different, this is an outrage!" I am glad most weapons are being brought to a comfortable medium of mediocrity. My lack of enjoyment with the game is at an all time high, and I couldn't be more pleased.

I'd say happy, but being happy isn't what ReAl HaRdCoRe GaMeRs crave. We crave two things.
1: Being miserable while we play games so we can show people how much better we are than them by overcoming negative annoying experiences.
2: Brawndo, because it's got electrolytes.

This didn't happen.
