(Fancy credit: Activision)

As has become something of a substance abuse in Shout of Tariff: Warzone as late, a fresh weapon has been added to the bet on without notice from Activision. But unlike the relatively harmless Shadowhunter crossbow, nowadays's new Sykov pistol is very good at killing.

Aside default, the Sykov looks and feels the likes of any other shooting iron in Warzone, just it has a handful of attachments that could spend a penny it an overpowered beast. Once leveled, the Sykov can be configured to fire orotund-motorcar, equip 80-round drum magazines, and be dual-wielded to double up firepower. If you're keeping count, that's 160 bullets at an extremely high fire pace without having to recharge.

As you rump see below in a clip from BennyCentral, the Sykov makes quick influence of bots located up with close to the same health as players have in Warzone. Its impressive sentence-to-kill at short kitchen stove is something to behold.

Scorn initial reports from players having trouble unlocking and leveling up the Sykov, its waiver nowadays was patently deliberate. Raven announced in a tweet today that progression should now beryllium caterpillar-tracked on the gun "Eastern Samoa intended," so I guess it's the real deal.

Warzone players might greet the akimbo pistol scheme from the Diamatti pistols that were very popular earlier this year. The rapid-fire pistols were likewise destructive at close range until Activision eventually nerfed their hipfire accuracy. With 80-round drum mags and seemingly nary problem hitting their mark, a pair of Sykov pistols could prove even better than the Diamattis at their peak.

Call of Duty Youtuber TheXclusiveAce has already discharged an initial dive into the Sykov's stats. Ace is among the most levelheaded and analytical voices in the CoD community, and even he is worried that the pistol leave comprise overpowered in one case it's fully unleashed. "At this point, information technology does have Maine concerned." Me as well.
