In the competitive world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer, countless final kills are captured and shared online. However, few are as spectacular as this one.

The Ricochet Blades, unique ammo for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon (introduced during the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event), quickly became a topic of conversation due to their unpredictable, bouncing trajectory.

Player kev99gh captured and shared a final kill in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map. The kill involved a Ricochet Blade—affectionately nicknamed a "pizza" by the community—bouncing out of the map and back in for a one-hit kill on an unsuspecting enemy peeking from a window.

kev99gh's incredible clip is arguably the longest Ricochet Blade kill ever recorded, given the blade's excursion outside the map boundaries. The video shows kev99gh lining up the shot, firing blindly, and then switching to the overhead map view to track the blade's improbable journey along the map's edge before its return for the kill.

These elaborate, seemingly impossible trick shots aren't just luck. Redditor SpawnTubing, who posted kev99gh's clip, noted that the Black Ops 6 community actively seeks out and practices these shots in common camping spots. Commenters also highlighted the impeccable timing of the enemy player peeking precisely as the "pizza" reappeared—a scenario familiar to many Black Ops 6 players.

The Ricochet Blades have spawned a sort of "bounce kill" meta, with numerous (though less impressive) kills surfacing online across various multiplayer maps. Some kills, like the one below, involve multiple bounces before hitting their target.

Despite their popularity, some players find the bouncing blades frustrating and annoying. These critics will be displeased to learn that developer Treyarch recently buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speed, ensuring one-hit kills on contact. The relevant patch notes are as follows:

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 Blades

• Increased damage from 75 to 100.
• Decreased rate of fire.
• Decreased projectile velocity.
• Improved bouncing speeds and physics.

With Season 3 and Verdansk's return to Warzone on the horizon, the reign of the Ricochet Blades appears set to continue, and perhaps intensify.
