In the dynamic world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitive multiplayer, the thrill of final kills is a spectacle that players love to share online. Among the myriad of impressive kills, one stands out as a testament to skill and precision.
The Ricochet Blades, introduced as part of the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event, have become a hot topic due to their unpredictable trajectory. These unique blades, affectionately dubbed "pizzas" by the community, bounce off multiple surfaces, leading to some of the most talked-about kills in the game.
One such extraordinary moment was captured by player kev99gh in a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. Kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade out of the map and back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an unsuspecting enemy peeking out a window. This clip, shared by Redditor SpawnTubing, may very well be the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded, showcasing the blade's journey from the unknown edges of the map back to the target.

According to SpawnTubing, the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices for common camping spots, turning seemingly improbable shots into calculated victories. The timing of the enemy's peek, just as the "pizza" flew through the window, was described by commenters as "peak" Black Ops 6 timing—a moment many players can relate to.
The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new trend of bounce kill strategies across various multiplayer maps. While not all kills reach the level of kev99gh's, they still showcase the creative potential of these blades.

Their discontent may grow following a recent update by developer Treyarch, which buffed 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.
Ricochet BladesIncreased damage from 75 to 100.Decreased rate of fire.Decreased projectile velocity.Improved bouncing speeds and physics.With these changes, the Ricochet Blades are poised to become even more prevalent as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 heads into Season 3 and the much-anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone.
