Abilities
Star Power
Super Bouncy
Any bullet that has bounced off a wall deals extra damage, which rewards shooting the wall rather than the player.
Star Power
Robo Retreat
Below two fifths health his movement speed jumps sharply, and drops back to normal as soon as he heals above it.
Gadget
Multiball Launcher
22s cooldownDrops a vending machine he can bank shots off. When it is destroyed it sprays bouncing bullets in every direction around it.
Gadget
Multiball
17s cooldownFires one large bullet that splits into three on contact with a wall or a brawler, and costs no ammo to use.
Hypercharge
Trick Shot King

reviewed 19 Jul 2026A bullet-bouncing damage dealer who is mediocre in the open and genuinely oppressive in a corridor.
Early game
Find the corridor on your side of the map and start suppressing it; Rico wants a fixed angle he can hold, not a roaming role.
Positioning
Stand where a wall is beside or behind the enemy, not beside you — his damage comes from the rebound, so the geometry has to work for him.
Using your Super
The Super is a longer burst of the same bouncing bullets, so fire it down a corridor rather than at an open field where the bounces never happen.
Common mistakes
- Playing him on open maps where his bullets never bounce and he is just a worse Colt
- Aiming directly at enemies instead of at the wall next to them
- Standing in the corridor he is suppressing, which lets a tank walk him down
- Walled maps where every shot ricochets into a target that thought it was behind cover
- Narrow chokes, where the bounces hit even when the direct line is blocked
- Against brawlers backed into a corner, who cannot avoid the rebound
