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

In the competitive multiplayer arena of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6*, the thrill of securing the final kill is a moment cherished by many players, often shared across online platforms. Among the countless clips, one stands out as particularly remarkable, showcasing the unique capabilities of the Ricochet Blades, a special ammo type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon introduced during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event.

The Ricochet Blades, affectionately dubbed "pizzas" by the community, have become a hot topic due to their unpredictable bouncing trajectories. A standout moment was captured by player kev99gh during a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. In an astonishing display of skill, kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade out of the map and back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy player who peeked out a window at the wrong moment.

The clip, shared by Redditor SpawnTubing, showcases kev99gh's precision as they line up the shot from behind cover and track the blade's path on the overhead map, which bounces along the map's edge before returning to claim the kill. Such elaborate trick shots are not merely a product of luck; they require practice and an understanding of common camping spots, as noted by SpawnTubing and other community members.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new "bounce kill" meta within *Black Ops 6*, with various clips of impressive kills circulating online. However, not all players are thrilled with this development. Some find the bouncing blades frustrating and annoying to play against, especially after developer Treyarch buffed their physics and bouncing speeds in a recent update, ensuring one-hit kills on 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.

Ricochet Blades

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

With these changes, the dominance of the Ricochet Blades is expected to grow, especially as Season 3 approaches, bringing with it the much-anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone.
