In the thrilling realm of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitive multiplayer, the community has been buzzing with excitement over countless final kills shared online. Among these, one kill stands out as particularly spectacular.
The Ricochet Blades, a distinctive ammo type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, were introduced during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event last month. Since their addition, these blades have sparked discussions due to their unpredictable trajectory as they ricochet off various surfaces.
A standout moment was captured by player kev99gh during a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. In this clip, kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade—nicknamed a "pizza" by the community—out of the map and back in, securing a one-hit kill on an unsuspecting enemy peeking out a window.

In the video, kev99gh carefully lines up the shot from behind cover and launches the blade into the unknown. Switching to the overhead map view, we see the blade travel along the map's edge before bouncing back through the window to secure the kill.
Such elaborate and seemingly improbable trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not merely a matter of luck. According to Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh's clip, the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices for common camping spots. Commenters have praised the impeccable timing of the enemy player peeking just as the "pizza" flew through the window, highlighting the peak moments that define Black Ops 6 gameplay.
The Ricochet Blades have ignited a bounce kill meta across various Multiplayer maps, with several other impressive kills being shared online. Some of these involve multiple bounces before reaching their target, as seen in the clip below:

These critics will likely be further displeased by a recent update from developer Treyarch, which buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speeds. The relevant patch note reads:
**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 dominance of the Ricochet Blades is expected to grow, especially as Season 3 approaches and the much-anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone looms on the horizon.
