Say goodbye to the Sykov.
Call of Duty Warzone’s most OP handgun, the Sykov, has finally been taken down a notch with a few substantial nerfs on its attachments.
While the Sykov is a standard handgun, players could turn it into a close-range bullet machine with the added attachments of Akimbo, the Sorokin 140mm Auto, and 80 Round Drums.
