Call of Duty: Warzone și Modern Warfare au primit un nou pistol aseară – iar jucătorii l-au declarat deja copleșit.
Pistolul în cauză este Sykov, care poate fi folosit cu un mag uimitor de 80 de cartușe, modul complet automat și avantajul akimbo la manevrare dublă.
Players have tested the pistol in Warzone, and it looks like the Sykov has an incredibly fast time-to-kill. It’s early days, but already players reckon the close-range Warzone meta has been flipped on its head.

Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD, who regularly digs into the stats of weapons to reveal their true characteristics, went as far as to call the Sykov “broken”. With akimbo, the Sykov gives you a blistering 239ms-307ms time-to-kill, he said.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, really, given the Sykov was found by Warzone players back in February. At the time, the community feared the gun in combination with full-auto, 80-round mags and the akimbo perk would cause issues. So it has proved.
The Sykov officially released into Modern Warfare and Warzone without an announcement. This seems to be happening regularly now, with maps recently added to Modern Warfare without advanced warning, and changes that go undisclosed in Call of Duty patch notes.
Modern Warfare players are testing the Sykov in that game’s multiplayer, too. Warzone and Modern Warfare multiplayer have very different feels, of course, with time-to-kill meant to be the chief differentiator when it comes to lethality.
Warzone players have complained that the battle royale’s time-to-kill is too fast for some time now – an issue exacerbated by the integration of meta-dominating guns from Treyarch’s Black Ops Cold War.
And, more specifically on Modern Warfare, does the addition of the Sykov and, recently, new maps, suggest further support for Infinity Ward’s 2019 shooter? Fans are crossing their fingers it does.
Meanwhile, expect to see the akimbo Sykov all over the shop in Warzone.
