In the competitive multiplayer realm of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players are constantly showcasing their skills through final kill clips shared online. Among these, one standout moment was captured by player kev99gh, featuring the unique Ricochet Blades from the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, introduced during the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. These blades, colloquially known as "pizzas" by the community, have gained attention for their unpredictable bouncing trajectories.

In a remarkable display of skill, kev99gh executed a final kill in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. The player managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade out of the map and back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy who peeked out a window at the perfect moment. This clip, shared by Redditor SpawnTubing, may be the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded, showcasing the blade's path outside the map before it ricocheted back for the kill.

Such elaborate trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not merely luck; they require practice and knowledge of common camping spots, as noted by SpawnTubing. The timing of the enemy's peek, coinciding with the blade's return, exemplifies the precision and timing that Black Ops 6 demands.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a "bounce kill meta" within the game, with various clips of similar, though less 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 a recent update by developer Treyarch that buffed the blades' physics and bouncing speeds. The patch notes detail these changes:

D1.3 SectorOur 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 the Ricochet Blades is expected to grow, especially as Black Ops 6 moves into Season 3 and anticipates the return of Verdansk to Warzone.
