In the competitive multiplayer realm of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the thrill of securing that final kill is a moment of glory often shared online. Among the countless clips, one stands out as particularly remarkable.
The introduction of Ricochet Blades as unique ammo for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event has sparked significant discussion. These blades, colloquially referred to as "pizzas" by the community, are renowned for their erratic bouncing patterns across multiple surfaces.
An extraordinary example of this was captured by player kev99gh in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. Kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade out of the map and back inside, achieving a one-hit kill on an enemy player peeking through a window. This clip, hailed as potentially the longest Ricochet Blade kill ever, showcases kev99gh's skill as they aim from behind cover and then track the blade's trajectory on the overhead map, leading to the perfect kill.

According to Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared the clip, dedicated players like kev99gh practice and anticipate common camping spots. Commenters have lauded the impeccable timing of the enemy's peek coinciding with the blade's return as quintessential Black Ops 6 action.
The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new trend of bounce kill strategies across various Multiplayer maps, with other impressive kills surfacing online. One such example is a blade ricocheting around the Subsonic map to secure a final kill.

Adding fuel to the fire, developer Treyarch recently updated the Ricochet Blades, increasing their effectiveness. 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 BladesIncreased damage from 75 to 100.Decreased rate of fire.Decreased projectile velocity.Improved bouncing speeds and physics.With these enhancements, the dominance of Ricochet Blades is set to increase further. As Black Ops 6 moves into Season 3 and anticipates the return of Verdansk to Warzone, players can expect even more thrilling and unpredictable moments courtesy of the Ricochet Blades.
