Strong Sykov Pistol Nerf in Warzone.

In the game Warzone, a hidden nerf to the Sykov pistol has been introduced, significantly altering the gameplay with it. The update is divided into two parts: the first part, which is described in the patch notes and is public information; and the second part, which is hidden, where the pistol is significantly weakened, affecting the game.

Sykov Nerf in Warzone

140mm Auto “Sorokin” Barrel (Sykov)

• Hip-fire spread increased

Akimbo (Sykov)

• 5% reduced movement speed

80-Round Drum Mag

• 5% reduced movement speed
• 7% reduced aiming movement speed

What Else Has Changed?

If you combine the 140mm Auto “Sorokin” Barrel and Akimbo, the damage is reduced by 25%.

In single-pistol mode with 80 rounds, you will run 8.7% slower when using Akimbo, and the rate of fire will be 25% lower than before. If you don’t change the old setup and play with it, you will run 12% slower than intended.

You can speed up movement with a single pistol, but equipping 20 rounds is not as effective.

Best Sykov Loadout in Warzone

• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Barrel: 140mm Auto
• Laser: Tac Laser
• Rear Grip: VLK Prizrak
• Ammunition: 80 Rounds

This loadout will provide you with a more accurate, powerful, and less affected pistol after the nerfs. You can still play with the old overpowered setup, but it’s no longer as effective.
