"Black Ops 6 Players Use Bouncing Blades to Outsmart Campers"

In the dynamic arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitive multiplayer, players have been sharing thousands of final kill clips online, celebrating their in-game achievements. However, one particular kill stands out from the rest.

The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammo type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, were introduced during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event last month. These blades quickly became a hot topic due to their unpredictable trajectory, bouncing off multiple surfaces in unexpected ways.

Player kev99gh captured and shared a remarkable final kill in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. They skillfully bounced a Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community, out of the map and then back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy player who peeked out a window at the wrong moment.

The video shows kev99gh lining up the shot from behind cover, launching the blade into the unknown, and then tracking it on the overhead map as it skirts the map's edge before bouncing back through the window for the kill.

These elaborate blade bounce trick shots are not merely a matter of luck. According to Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh’s clip, the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices targeting common camping spots. Commenters noted the impeccable timing of the enemy player's peek, coinciding perfectly with the "pizza" flying through the window, a moment that many players can relate to.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new meta in Black Ops 6, with numerous bounce kill clips surfacing across various Multiplayer maps. While some of these kills involve multiple bounces, they don't quite reach the level of impressiveness of kev99gh’s.

These critics will likely be further displeased by a recent update from developer Treyarch, which buffed the Ricochet Blades’ physics and bouncing speeds. The update ensures that the blades now deliver one-hit kills upon contact. Here’s the relevant patch note:

**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.
