Crazy Warzone exploit gives Akimbo Sykov Pistols zero recoil & 100% accuracy
A crazy new Warzone exploit is reportedly turning the already meta-defining Sykov Pistol into a 100% accurate monster with zero recoil.
Since its release in Modern Warfare and Warzone, the Sykov Pistol dominated all close-range fights. With a blisteringly high fire rate, 80 Round Mags, and the option to wield it akimbo, the dual Sykov’s became an overnight meta.
After players were frustrated with another meta-breaking gun arriving in the game, replying to a thread of Warzone issues from streamer CouRage, Raven Software promised “a significant balance pass” to the Sykov, as well as the AUG, M16, and FFAR 1.
However, a new exploit is turning these powerful pistols into 100% accurate laser beams with no recoil.
Warzone streamer Stukawaki demonstrated this new exploit in Plunder. After parachuting down, standing just outside of the optimum range for the akimbo Sykov’s, Stu unloads a barrage of bullets that land directly on the crosshair with 100% accuracy and seemingly no recoil.
From the clip, it appears that Stu is only using one Sykov (the ammo is only displayed for one Pistol), and the game has been glitched to show two. Whatever happened, it’s clear that this Sykov exploit makes the weapons 100% accurate.
Until the new sidearm has been adjusted, the only drawback to the Sykov’s unbelievable damage at point-blank range is its recoil. These two pistols firing off 160 rounds at full-auto will rise considerably after prolonged firing, and the weapons will become ineffective outside of the hip-fire accuracy range.
This exploit takes away the only thing holding the Sykov back, so although reports say that this exploit is easier to replicate in Plunder, it’s possible you will see it making its way into your games of battle royale.
Although several changes slated for Season 3, including adjustments to the Roze skin and the leaked Verdansk 1980s overhaul following the nuke event, Raven Software are yet to acknowledge this new exploit.
