In the competitive multiplayer arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players have been showcasing their final kills in droves, but none quite as spectacular as the one recently captured by player kev99gh. The focus of this awe-inspiring kill is the Ricochet Blades, a unique ammo type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon introduced during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. These blades have quickly become a hot topic due to their unpredictable bounce patterns off multiple surfaces.

Kev99gh's remarkable final kill was recorded during a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. They expertly launched a Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community, out of the map and back inside to secure a one-hit kill on an unsuspecting enemy peeking out of a window. This kill, potentially the longest Ricochet Blade kill to date, showcases the blade's journey outside the map and back, tracked meticulously by kev99gh using the overhead map view.

Such elaborate and seemingly improbable trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not merely the result of luck. As Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh’s clip, explained, players in Black Ops 6 often "look for and practice for common spots people camp." The timing of the enemy's peek aligning perfectly with the "pizza's" return through the window has been hailed as "peak" Black Ops 6 timing by commenters.

The Ricochet Blades have indeed sparked a new meta of bounce kills across various Multiplayer maps, with several other notable kills making rounds online. However, not all players are thrilled with this development. Critics argue that the bouncing blades can be frustrating and annoying to play against. Their discontent may grow with Treyarch's recent update that buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speeds, ensuring one-hit kills upon contact. 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 in Black Ops 6 is poised to grow even further as players gear up for Season 3 and the eagerly awaited return of Verdansk to Warzone.
