Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare got a new pistol last night – and players have already declared it overpowered.
The pistol in question is the Sykov, which can be used with a whopping 80-round mag, full-auto mode and the akimbo perk to dual-wield.
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.
