A ricocheting bullet or laser follows the rule 'arrival angle equals emergent angle', so you cannot bend ricochets by shooting in a turn or similar tactics. Maps with few pyramids to cause shots to go airborne can be deadly when it comes to ricochets.

			'''Note''' that as of version 2.4.0, maps may specify ricochets per object and mesh face. This means that while the global ricochet option may be turned off, some objects may allow bullets to still ricochet.
