From the same quest on Io we get a choice of 3 weapons: Riskrunner, Graviton Lance, or Sunshot.
I've always felt that these weapons were the designated AoE weapons. All have AoE damage, they are exotic energy weapons, and have elemental damage types different from one another.
But while Graviton Lance is REALLY good, and Sunshot is quite good, Riskrunner just falls behind. There doesn't seem to be any kind of alternative for an Arc damage based AoE energy weapon either.
Riskrunner is good, when Arc Conductor procs, so I'd love it if Ricochet Rounds was added to Riskrunner. Ricochet Rounds would allow us to bounce bullets in order to do self damage, since this would be Arc damage, Arc Conductor would proc. We could then trigger it at will, at the cost of health loss.
This would be a thematically correct buff, because of the added RISK that comes with damaging yourself. This would make Riskrunner more reliable, and make it a more competetive weapon. It's already really good IMO, so long as the enemy has arc damage.
For example: Riskrunner's Catalyst adds Range to the weapon, Ricochet Rounds also adds range to it's weapon. One could reduce the current Range buff, and add Ricochet Rounds, in a way where the end result is the same amount of Range.

You have not run into several arc users in cruicible thing just melts them like butter.

Risk runner is bad ass already. I will take a buff, but it really does not need it.

Can’t you hit yourself with ricochet rounds? If so, that’s kinda op

1 ReplyRiskrunner is fine as is imo. What you're suggesting, to be able to proc Arc Conductor at will against any enemy, boss, etc and have unlimited ammo that arc-chains, essentially during an entire fight, is a bit OP.
