Is Ricochet Worth It?

Only If You're Going for a Tanky Build

Ricochet is a perk that's suited for players who opted to go for a tanky build. This perk requires you to take a lot of damage from enemies as bullets will bounce off your body and back towards the enemy.

Otherwise, players can skip this perk entirely if they did not invest enough points in Endurance for high health or other perks that increases their damage resistance.
