Shortly after the Sykov addition in CoD: Warzone, players, have found a way on how to benefit from using them and liquidate every enemy in their encounters. While skill is involved, not everything belongs to it, as the Sykov pistols have obviously been overpowered, and that’s why Raven Software has decided to deal with them today.
The nerf involves tweaks of the powerful attachments that made the pistol somewhat a laser beam. But that’s not all, as there have been numerous nerfs all around. The RC-XD has also been removed from Buy Stations and it’s only available via Containment Monitors.
Even though there are multiple tackles on the game balance, we can agree that the Sykov nerfs are probably the most rigorous ever delivered in Call of Duty’s Battle Royale game, Warzone.
For the full list of patch notes, make sure you check below:
