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

In the fiercely competitive world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer, the thrill of securing the final kill is a moment cherished by many. Among the thousands of clips shared online, one stands out as a testament to skill and precision.

The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon, were introduced during the much-discussed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. Known for their unpredictable bounce patterns, these blades quickly became a hot topic among the gaming community.

A standout moment was captured by player kev99gh in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. In an astonishing display of skill, kev99gh launched a Ricochet Blade, humorously referred to as a "pizza" by players, outside the map only for it to bounce back inside and secure a one-hit kill through a window. This clip, potentially the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded, showcases kev99gh's meticulous planning and execution.

The player then switches to the overhead map view, tracking the blade's journey along the map's edge before it bounces back to claim the kill.

Such elaborate bounce shots are not mere luck. According to Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh's clip, players actively seek out and practice on common camping spots. The timing of the enemy player's peek, coinciding perfectly with the blade's return, was hailed as "peak" Black Ops 6 timing by commenters.

The Ricochet Blades have ignited a new meta in Black Ops 6, with numerous bounce kill clips surfacing across various multiplayer maps. Here's another impressive example:

These sentiments might be exacerbated by a recent update from developer Treyarch, which enhanced the Ricochet Blades' physics and bounce speeds. 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.
