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

In the competitive multiplayer scene of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players are constantly showcasing their skills through final kill clips shared online. One such standout moment involves the unique Ricochet Blades, a type of ammunition for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, which gained notoriety during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. These blades are known for their unpredictable bounce patterns, adding a thrilling element to gameplay.

A particularly impressive clip was captured by player kev99gh during a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. Kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade—affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community—out of the map and back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy player peeking through a window. This feat, possibly the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded, showcases the skill and precision required to pull off such a shot.

The blade travels along the map's edge before bouncing back towards the window, perfectly timing the enemy's peek for the kill.

Such elaborate trick shots aren't merely luck; they require practice and knowledge of common camping spots, as noted by Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared the clip. The timing of the enemy's peek, described as "peak" Black Ops 6 timing by commenters, further highlights the skill involved.

The Ricochet Blades have sparked a new meta of bounce kills across various Multiplayer maps, with numerous clips showcasing these unique kills. However, not everyone is thrilled about this new trend. Some players find the bouncing blades frustrating and annoying to play against. Their frustration may grow with the recent update from developer Treyarch, which buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speeds. Here are the relevant patch notes:

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 changes, the dominance of the Ricochet Blades is expected to intensify as Black Ops 6 moves into Season 3 and welcomes back Verdansk to Warzone.
