What weapons? Psycannon? Psilencer? Heavy Incinerator? lame. All of these guns are aimed at killing hordes of little dudes, not singular large creatures like the Riptide, wheres the Ion Accelerator can be used to great effect against a heavily armoured creatures like the Dreadknight. I'm acutally pretty sure that the Riptide will pulverise Helbrecht in close combat, simply because Helbrecht has nothing that can really hurt it, although Logan Grimnar might fair better. Size makes a difference when its on such a manoeverable platform as a Battlesuit.

You also have to get into combat first. Considering that the Riptide has a Jetpack standard, and the Dreadknight has no hope of catching it without a personal teleporter, the Riptide can shoot the Dreadknight to death (especially considering that the Ion Accelerator has the same range as a Railgun). All the Riptide has to do is stand extremely far away and snipe the Dreadknight to death.
