Ricochet is the undeserved black sheep of Valve's games and their first foray in quirky FPS games that eventually led to Portal and Portal 2.

Unused Female Player Model

An unused female player model exists in the game's files. The model appears to be complete, minus having her own "head decapitated" model.

Unused Powerups

There are models for two unused powers, "curve" and "visual". When opened up in a model viewer, the powerups are the Team Fortress Classic soccer/football ball and the Team Fortress Classic present model, respectively.

Unused Sound Effects

An unused sound effect exists within the game's files, under the "weapons" sound folder. It's called "rocket1", and it might have been used for a scrapped powerup.

Disc Viewmodel

The disc thrown by the player has a "viewmodel" in the game's files that is never seen in-game. It can be enabled via the console command "r_drawviewmodel 1" or seen through a model viewer. It is a duplicate of the Half-Life grenade's viewmodel.
