Bounce, sometimes unofficially referred to as "ricochet" by the community, is a property of Projectiles that allows them to bounce off surfaces for a limited number of types before the projectile lifespan ends.

Unlike true Ricochet, bouncing only happens with projectiles, not with hitscan weapons.

Mechanic[]

Some projectiles will continue their trajectory even after colliding with level geometry, enemies, or other objects, though they are limited by the number of times they can do so before disappearing. Bouncing projectiles will reflect off surfaces at the same angle of incidence (i.e. the angle at which a projectile moves away from a surface equals the angle at which they enter). Bouncing projectiles will also lose velocity after collisions.
