"Black Ops 6 Players Use Bouncing Blades to Outsmart Campers"

In the dynamic world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitive multiplayer, the thrill of securing that final kill has led to countless clips being shared across the internet. Among these, one standout moment has captured the attention of the gaming community.

The introduction of Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, came with the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event last month. These blades quickly became a hot topic due to their erratic trajectory, bouncing off multiple surfaces and leading to some spectacular gameplay moments.

A player known as kev99gh showcased an extraordinary final kill during a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. Kev99gh skillfully launched a Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community, out of the map and then back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an unsuspecting enemy who peeked out a window at just the right moment.

From behind cover, kev99gh aims the blade into the unknown, then switches to the overhead map to track its path. The blade travels along the map's edge before bouncing back through the window to claim the kill.

These elaborate trick shots are not merely the result of chance. As Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh’s clip, explains, the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices shots against common camping spots. The timing of the enemy's peek, as noted by commenters, perfectly encapsulates the excitement of Black Ops 6.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a "bounce kill meta" within the game, inspiring numerous other clips of players executing impressive kills across various Multiplayer maps. For example:

Some have voiced frustration over their unpredictable nature and the difficulty of playing against them. These sentiments are likely to intensify following a recent update from developer Treyarch, which has buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bounce speeds. 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 changes, the impact of the Ricochet Blades is set to grow even further as Black Ops 6 heads into Season 3 and the eagerly awaited return of Verdansk to Warzone.
