RicoViking9000

RicoViking9000 is a Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 PC Player who is best known for his appearances in ZackScottGames' GW2 videos. He also has a YouTube channel called RicoViking9000 which is primarily dedicated to PVZ GW2 as well, although occasionally he uploads videos of other games, such as Tanki X.

Rico is also a coder, and has his own bot for growing social media platform Discord. To learn more about the bot, you may join the server here.

History
Rico first purchased the Deluxe Edition of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 on August 3, 2016, and now has over 775 hours on the game. His first video about it (and first video on his channel) was about a cheater who vanquished opponents with one shot. Although most of his early videos were about Tanki X, he would still make gameplay videos of Garden Warfare 2 from time to time.

Two years later in 2018, he became virtual (Origin and Discord) friends with famous gamer YouTuber ZackScottGames. Because of Rico's frequent appearances in Zack's Fortnite videos (and minorly some GW2 videos), this caused a spike in subscribers and views for his own channel. Once ZackScottGames stopped playing Fortnite, after summer 2018, Rico then began to shift focus from Tanki X to GW2 and consistently uploaded some of his best gameplay for each character.

On December 7th, 2018, he and four other YouTubers (ZackScottGames, NightShadowXO, Twothless, and MarioTheSmashBro) collaborated on a special, limited time game mode in the Mystery Portal called "Capture the Taco." Visit their channels to see the different perspectives on the match.

Currently, RicoViking9000 holds the World Record for the most vanquishes in a single match with the Toxic Citron (59), and has performed consistently well with Chompers, outperforming many skilled PC players. More records are to come.
