In the dynamic world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 competitive multiplayer, the community has been buzzing with excitement over the final kills captured and shared online. Among these, one kill stands out as a testament to skill and creativity.
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. These blades quickly became a hot topic due to their unpredictable trajectory and ability to bounce off multiple surfaces. The community has affectionately dubbed them "pizzas."
A standout moment came from player kev99gh, who captured a final kill in a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. In this incredible feat, kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade out of the map and then back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy player who peeked out of a window at the wrong moment.

The video shows kev99gh lining up the shot from behind cover, launching the blade into the unknown, and then tracking its path on the overhead map as it bounces along the map's edge and back through the window to secure the kill.
These elaborate and seemingly improbable blade bounce trick shots aren't just luck. SpawnTubing noted that players in Black Ops 6 often practice for common camping spots, and the timing of the enemy player peeking just as the "pizza" flew through the window was described by commenters as "peak" Black Ops 6 timing.
The Ricochet Blades have sparked a new bounce kill meta in the game, with various impressive kills across different Multiplayer maps being shared online. Here's another example:

Their discontent may grow as developer Treyarch recently buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speeds in an update, ensuring they now deliver 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 dominance of the Ricochet Blades is likely to intensify as players head into Season 3 and the much-anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone.
