Best Warzone Sykov Loadout

The Sykov Pistol has dominated Warzone and Modern Warfare. Here are the meta attachments and perks to win all close-range engagements with the best Warzone Sykov loadout.

The Sykov Pistol made waves when it was introduced into Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare back in Season 2 after being an unreleased weapon during Modern Warfare’s cycle.

While the Sykov received a nerf that stopped it from being an overpowered weapon, the best Warzone Sykov loadout is still a very formidable secondary for players that do not like to use Overkill in Season 6.

Here are the attachments and perks you should use to make the best Warzone Sykov loadout and maximize the potential of this particular secondary weapon.

Best Warzone Sykov loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: Sorokin 140mm Auto
  • Laser: 5mW Laser
  • Ammunition: 20 Round Mags
  • Rear Grip: VLK Elita

The best Warzone Sykov loadout is built to be the perfect complement for any Ghost class, even being able to outgun an FFAR 1 at close range.

To start, the Monolithic Suppressor will grant you extra range, meaning you don’t need to be directly in the enemy’s face to get the kill. And the 5mW Laser will give you much more hip-fire accuracy if you’re in a pinch.

Unfortunately, the Akimbo perk for the Sykov has been nerfed, so you’re better off only running one Sykov. To improve its recoil control, you should add the VLK Elita Rear Grip, and the Sorokin 140mm Auto barrel is still perfect for melting players’ armor off.

And following the nerfs in the 1.35 update, the 80 Round Drum mags will significantly lower your mobility, so the 20 Round Mags will be ideal.

Best perks to run with Warzone Sykov class

  • Perk 1: E.O.D
  • Perk 2: Ghost
  • Perk 3: Amped

You’ll spend a lot of time in enemies’ faces while using the best Warzone Sykov loadout, which means you’re in prime range to get taken out by explosives. Running E.O.D will greatly reduce explosive damage, meaning you can run through a bombardment of explosives to secure the kill.

The Sykov Pistol is a secondary weapon, so you don’t need Overkill to combine it with a primary weapon. Ghost will hide you from the minimap and Heartbeat Sensors, which is invaluable in Warzone.

As you’ll only be using this sidearm when fighting up close, you’ll need to run a weapon for medium-long range. Amped will allow you to rapidly change your weapons, getting the right gun out for any situation.

Best alternatives

The best Warzone Sykov loadout excels in close-range combat thanks to its full-auto mode, but other weapons fit the bill. If you’re looking to dominate up close, the AS VAL melts players at close range.

Also, if you’re looking for other pistols, the akimbo Diamattis will provide similar firepower.

The best Warzone Sykov loadout will continue to be a great choice for Ghost classes in Season 6, so this Pistol is well worth unlocking and ranking up.
