Playing as Rico
StepRico's bullets do not just fly in a straight line — they bounce off walls and floors. That means you can angle a shot around a corner to hit a hider who thinks they are safe. The more rounds you play, the better you will know which angles work on each map.
- Fire toward a hider aim a shot directly if you have a clear line.
- Use a wall bounce hit a wall at an angle so the bullet curves into a hiding spot.
- Study the map after each round, notice which surfaces sent your shots where you wanted them.
Playing as Hider
TipsThe moment the round starts, your priority is finding cover. Spots behind walls or in low areas are harder for Rico to hit with a bounced bullet. Staying in the same hiding place for too long gives Rico time to figure out the right angle, so be ready to relocate.
- Pick spots where bullets struggle to reach, such as behind solid walls or in recessed areas.
- Change hiding spots before Rico locks onto your position.
Redeem codes
WarnThe game hands out codes that you enter in-game for rewards. Once a code has been redeemed on your account, entering it again will not work. Codes can also expire, so use them when you find them.
