Deadly Bouncing Blades Kill Campers Outside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Map

In the dynamic world of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* competitive multiplayer, countless final kills are shared online by players eager to showcase their skills. Yet, few stand out as spectacularly as the one executed by player kev99gh. The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon introduced during the contentious Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event, have become a focal point due to their unpredictable bouncing trajectory.

Kev99gh's remarkable final kill in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map involved launching a Ricochet Blade—dubbed a "pizza" by the community—out of the map and back inside to secure a one-hit kill on an enemy peeking through a window. This clip, shared by Redditor SpawnTubing, may well be the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded, showcasing kev99gh's precision and strategic use of the game's overhead map view to track the blade's path.

Such elaborate bounce kill shots are not purely a matter of luck. According to SpawnTubing, players often scout and practice targeting common camping spots. The impeccable timing of the enemy's peek as the "pizza" flew in the window, as noted by commenters, is a testament to the skill and anticipation required in *Black Ops 6*.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new "bounce kill meta" within the game, with various impressive kills across different multiplayer maps being shared online. However, not all players are thrilled with this development. Some find the bouncing blades frustrating and annoying to play against, a sentiment that won't be eased by Treyarch's recent update, which buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speeds. The relevant patch notes detail these changes:

Patch Notes: D1.3 Sector

D1.3 Sector
*Our initial design for the D1.3 Sector Ricochet Blades revolved around quickly launching many high-speed blades, meant to perform best blind firing into enclosed spaces. We have been following your feedback and agree that, in practice, the use cases for this ammo type are too low. The Ricochet Blades will now do 100 damage to enable one-hit kills, and to compensate we are lowering the fire rate and projectile speed. We think the popularity of this ammo type will see some new interest with these changes and look forward to seeing more of your cross-map killcams in MP.*

Ricochet Blades
Increased damage from 75 to 100.
Decreased rate of fire.
Decreased projectile velocity.
Improved bouncing speeds and physics.

With these adjustments, the dominance of Ricochet Blades in *Black Ops 6* is poised to grow even stronger as players anticipate Season 3 and the much-awaited return of Verdansk to Warzone.
