RICOCHET IS NOT A FARM ITEM

The concept of rushing Ricochet as a "Farm Item" in Deadlock is a trap that's easy for new, or lower ranked, gun carry players to fall into. With the belief that if they just have more souls than the other team, that they will win by default, it's easy to neglect other mechanics of the game in lieu of "getting more money". Today I try to break down the issues with this line of thinking, by dissecting the cost of Ricochet, how much time it's really saving you, and what it's actually good for.
