Ingenious Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Are Using Deadly Bouncing Blades to Kill Hapless Campers From Outside the Map

In the thrilling arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitive multiplayer, players continually capture and share their most exhilarating final kills online. Among these, one standout moment has captured the attention of the gaming community.

The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, were introduced during the much-discussed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event last month. These blades have quickly become a hot topic due to their unpredictable bounce patterns as they ricochet off multiple surfaces within the game environment.

A player known as kev99gh managed to execute an extraordinary final kill in a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. Using a Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a “pizza” by the community, kev99gh achieved a remarkable feat by bouncing the blade out of the map and then back inside to secure a one-hit kill on an enemy who peeked out of a window at the wrong moment.

In the video, kev99gh carefully lines up the shot from behind cover, launches the blade into the unknown, and then uses the overhead map view to track its path along the map's edge before it bounces back through the window for the kill.

Such elaborate and seemingly improbable trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not merely a matter of luck. According to Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh’s clip, the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices targeting common camping spots. Commenters have noted the impeccable timing of the enemy's peek, which coincided perfectly with the blade's return, highlighting the skill and anticipation required for such plays.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new "bounce kill" meta within Black Ops 6, with numerous players showcasing their own impressive kills across various Multiplayer maps. Here's another example of a multi-bounce kill:

Some find them frustrating and annoying to play against, and their discontent may grow following a recent update from developer Treyarch, which enhanced the blades' physics and bouncing speeds to ensure one-hit kills. Here are the relevant patch notes:

**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.
