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

The Ricochet Blades, unique ammo for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon (introduced with the controversial Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event), quickly became infamous for their unpredictable, bouncing trajectory. Affectionately nicknamed "pizzas" by the community, these blades are anything but predictable.

Player kev99gh achieved viral fame with a hardcore Search and Destroy final kill on the Lowtown map. The kill? A Ricochet Blade, launched seemingly at random, bounced out of the map, then back in, securing 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, showcasing the blade's journey beyond the map's boundaries. The video shows kev99gh lining up the shot, releasing the blade into the void, then switching to the overhead map to track its improbable path as it arcs along the map's edge before returning for the kill.

These elaborate, seemingly impossible trick shots aren't just luck. Redditor SpawnTubing, who shared kev99gh's clip, explained that skilled players "look for and practice common camping spots." Commenters also noted the impeccable timing—the enemy player peeking precisely as the "pizza" reappeared—as quintessential Black Ops 6 gameplay.

The Ricochet Blades have spawned a new meta of bounce-kill highlights, with numerous (though less impressive) kills shared online across various multiplayer maps. Some kills involve multiple bounces before finding their target.

However, not everyone is thrilled. Some players find the bouncing blades frustrating and annoying. These critics will be disappointed to learn that developer Treyarch recently buffed the Ricochet Blades' physics and bouncing speed. 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 Blades

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

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