"Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Use Bouncing Blades to Outsmart Campers"

In the competitive multiplayer arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the thrill of securing the final kill is a moment cherished and shared by countless players online. Among these, one particular kill stands out, showcasing the game's unique Ricochet Blades—a special ammo type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, which was introduced during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event last month. These blades have quickly become a hot topic due to their unpredictable bounce trajectories.

Player kev99gh captured an exceptional final kill during a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. In this remarkable feat, kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade, playfully dubbed a "pizza" by the community, out of the map and back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy peeking out of a window. This clip, shared by Redditor SpawnTubing, might just be the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded to date. In the video, we see kev99gh carefully lining up the shot from behind cover and then launching the blade into the unknown, tracking its path via the overhead map view until it returns to strike the enemy.

These elaborate and seemingly improbable blade bounce trick shots aren't purely luck-driven. According to SpawnTubing, players in Black Ops 6 "look for and practice for common spots people camp." Commenters have praised the impeccable timing of the unsuspecting enemy's peek, aligning perfectly with the "pizza" flying through the window—a quintessential Black Ops 6 moment.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new "bounce kill" meta within the game, with various impressive kills across different Multiplayer maps being showcased online. However, not everyone is thrilled about the bouncing blades, with some players finding them frustrating and annoying to play against. Their concerns may be heightened by a recent update from developer Treyarch, which buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speeds, ensuring one-hit kills upon contact. The relevant patch note states:

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 updates, the influence of the Ricochet Blades in Black Ops 6 is set to grow even stronger, especially as Season 3 approaches, bringing with it the much-anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone.
