In the competitive multiplayer arena of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players often celebrate their final kills by sharing them online, but few can match the thrill and skill displayed by player kev99gh. The introduction of Ricochet Blades, a unique ammo type for the D1.3 Sector secondary weapon during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event, has sparked widespread discussion due to their unpredictable bouncing trajectory.
Kev99gh's incredible final kill in a hardcore Search and Destroy match on the Lowtown map is a testament to the skill and patience required to master these blades. Affectionately dubbed "pizza" by the community, kev99gh managed to bounce a Ricochet Blade out of the map and back in for a one-hit kill on an enemy player peeking through a window. This clip, shared by Redditor SpawnTubing, may very well be the longest Ricochet Blade kill recorded to date.

The blade travels along the map's edge before bouncing back inside to secure the kill, showcasing the precision and strategy involved in such a feat.
Such elaborate trick shots with the Ricochet Blades are not mere luck. According to SpawnTubing, players often practice to exploit common camping spots. The timing of the enemy player peeking just as the "pizza" entered the window, as noted by commenters, epitomizes the perfect Black Ops 6 moment that players relish.
The Ricochet Blades have initiated a "bounce kill meta" within the game, with numerous other impressive kills being shared across various Multiplayer maps. Here's another example of a skillful kill involving multiple bounces:

Some find them frustrating and annoying to play against, and their discontent may grow following a recent update from developer Treyarch. The update 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 Season 3 on the horizon and the return of Verdansk to Warzone, it appears the Ricochet Blades are set to become an even more dominant force in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
