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

In the competitive multiplayer realm of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, capturing and sharing final kills is a celebrated pastime. Yet, among the myriad of clips that flood the internet, one stands out for its sheer audacity and skill.

The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, were introduced during the contentious Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. These blades quickly became a hot topic due to their unpredictable bounce trajectories off multiple surfaces.

A standout moment was captured by player kev99gh in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. Kev999gh managed to execute a final kill using a Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community. The blade was launched out of the map and miraculously bounced back inside to deliver a one-hit kill on an enemy peeking out a window.

The blade's trajectory took it outside the map's edge before bouncing back to claim the kill.

Such elaborate and seemingly improbable trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not purely luck-based. As Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh's clip, noted, the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices shots targeting common camping spots. The perfect timing of the enemy's peek as the "pizza" re-entered the map underscores the game's peak moments of tension and skill.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a "bounce kill" meta within Black Ops 6, with numerous clips of impressive kills across various Multiplayer maps surfacing online. Some involve multiple bounces before reaching their target, as seen in this clip:

Some find them frustrating and annoying to play against, especially following a recent update by developer Treyarch that buffed the blades' physics and bouncing speeds. The patch notes detailed these changes:

**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 BladesIncreased damage from 75 to 100.Decreased rate of fire.Decreased projectile velocity.Improved bouncing speeds and physics.With these adjustments, the influence of the Ricochet Blades in Black Ops 6 is poised to grow even stronger, setting the stage for more thrilling moments as Season 3 approaches and Verdansk returns to Warzone.
