Since the pistol is currently unreleased, there is still a lot of information about the Sykov that we don’t have yet. JGOD made a new video in which he talked about the weapon, and revealed how he was able to acquire it.

Here’s how you can unlock the new Warzone pistol:

  1. Complete the challenge (finishing 5 matches with 4 pistol kills) to unlock the Sykov
  2. Log in to the Warzone menu and you’ll spot a blinking green square in the upper right-hand corner of the screen if the weapon has been unlocked
  3. If you haven’t unlocked it, switch to the co-op menu in Modern Warfare and start a private Survival match
  4. Access the weapon buy station during the match, and scroll to the bottom of the pistols category to check your progress. If it worked, you’ll spot the blinking green square.

That’s all you have to do in order to unlock the Sykov in Warzone, The YouTuber also listed some attachments that can be equipped with the weapon, including the 80-round magazine, full-auto barrel and Akimbo configuration.

Many players have found the Sykov to be an incredibly powerful weapon after getting a good look at how it works in the battle royale’s Plunder mode. JGOD even made a tweet in which he stated that the weapon’s stats are “stupid broken.”

That covers everything you need to know about unlocking the Sykov pistol in Warzone. We’ll be sure to update you with new information about the gun after its official release when Season 2 kicks off on February 24.
