Bouncing Blades: Call of Duty Players Kill Campers Outside Map

Apr 13,25(2 months ago)

In the competitive multiplayer arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and the final kills they capture and share online are a testament to their skill and creativity. Among these, one kill stands out as particularly remarkable.

The Ricochet Blades, a unique ammunition 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, bouncing off multiple surfaces in unpredictable ways.

Player kev99gh achieved a stunning final kill in a round of hardcore Search and Destroy on the Lowtown map. They managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade, affectionately dubbed a "pizza" by the community, out of the map and back inside, securing a one-hit kill on an enemy player who peeked out a window at the wrong moment.

The video then switches to an overhead map view, tracking the blade as it travels along the map's edge before bouncing back through the window for the kill.

Such elaborate and seemingly improbable trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not just 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 noted the impeccable timing of the enemy player peeking just as the "pizza" flew in, a moment many players can relate to.

The Ricochet Blades have indeed sparked a new "bounce kill" meta within Black Ops 6, with various impressive kills across different Multiplayer maps being shared online. Here's another example:

These critics will likely be even less pleased with a recent update from developer Treyarch, which buffed the blades' physics and bouncing speeds, ensuring they now deliver one-hit kills. Here's the relevant patch note:

**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 set to continue, especially as Season 3 approaches and the much-anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone looms on the horizon.
