Bouncing Blades Kill Campers in Black Ops 6

In the competitive multiplayer arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players have shared countless thrilling final kill moments online. Yet, one clip stands out as a testament to skill and creativity.

The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition 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 bouncing trajectories.

Player kev99gh captured an exceptional final kill during a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. Using the Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community, kev99gh managed to bounce the blade out of the map and back in, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy peeking out a window. This remarkable feat may be the longest Ricochet Blade kill to date.

The player then switches to the overhead map view to track the blade's path along the edge of the map before it bounces back inside for the kill.

Such elaborate and seemingly improbable trick shots aren't solely reliant on luck. Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh's clip, noted that the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices against common camping spots. The timing of the unsuspecting enemy's peek, perfectly aligning with the incoming "pizza," was described by commenters as "peak" Black Ops 6 timing—a moment familiar to many players.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new "bounce kill meta" within the game, with various impressive kills across different multiplayer maps being showcased online. Here's another example:

These critics will likely be displeased with 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.
