Call of Duty Warzone
Recently Call of Duty Warzone players have realized that victories within the battle royale are not counted correctly, starting with the update on April 15th. Initially there was a bit of confusion, but in the end it was realized that it is not a mistake, but a voluntary choice of the developers. Here's why.WZRanked on Twitter explained the problem after analyzing in detail the statistics of Call of Duty Warzone. As indicated, this is a perfectly sensible intentional choice. In fact, remember that currently the Duo, Trio and Quad modes transform the players into Zombies and allow you to obtain a different type of victory. It would therefore not be correct to categorize them as statistic wins. Currently, these are therefore considered as Limited Time Modes and consequently excluded from the counts.
Call of Duty Warzone However, be aware that Solo wins are still counted as real wins and therefore are correctly cataloged in the statistics. The situation will return to normal with the start of Season 3 which is expected to take place starting April 22, 2021.

'Call of Duty: Warzone' Sykov Guide: Best Loadout and How to Unlock With Akimbo
Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare were updated Thursday afternoon, bringing the fabled Sykov Pistol to the game. After several months of sitting in datamine purgatory, the gun is finally available to unlock, and it's already had a massive impact on the meta. Forget the AUG, FFAR or M16, because there's a new player in town that outmuscles them all.

In this guide, we'll explain how to unlock the Sykov in Modern Warfare and Warzone and, perhaps most importantly, explain the contradiction with the challenge to unlock its amazing Akimbo perk. Whether you want to roll with one or two Sykovs in your holster, this guide outlines the basics of this truly devastating handgun.
How to unlock the Skykov and Akimbo in Modern Warfare and WarzoneLike almost every new gun making its debut in Modern Warfare or Warzone, there's an accompanying challenge for this latest addition to the roster. To unlock the single Sykov, all you have to do is get at least four kills using pistols in five different matches. This task will be a little tricky in Warzone specifically, but it should be a lot more doable in the congested multiplayer modes of Modern Warfare. If you still have the 2019 game at your disposal, now would be a good time to take advantage of it.
If you can use it, the best way to get those kills is to leverage the all-powerful Renetti, unlocked at tier 15 of the Modern Warfare Season 3 Battle Pass. It's irrefutably one of the best pistols in Warzone or Modern Warfare alike. The Diamatti, M19 or Magnum are solid alternatives in the event the Renetti isn't accessible.
When it comes to getting the Akimbo perk, which allows you to dual-wield the Sykov, there seems to be a bit of confusion. Despite the in-game challenge suggesting Sykov owners must get three kills in five different matches using the Mo' Money perk with the Renetti, players must actually get three kills in five different matches using the Mo' Money perk with the Sykov. This wording may be fixed by the time you see the challenge, but we've kept the error here in case Raven is slow in making the correction. Once again, this task will be a bit easier in Modern Warfare multiplayer, but it's not impossible in Warzone, either.
What is the best Sykov loadout with and without Akimbo?Once you've unlocked the Sykov and its Akimbo perk, you're probably wondering what the best loadout for this powerful pistol might be. In this case, experts almost universally agree which attachments provide the most impactful results. Setups similar to what we're about to describe are shredding the meta right now, so you might as well take advantage while everybody else is.
If you're using the single Sykov without Akimbo, these attachments may help in addition to what's listed above.
With any of the above loadouts, the Sykov has prompted a crazy shift in the Warzone meta fairly quickly. After all, the gun has half the time-to-kill of the FFAR and takes down opponents in about nine shots. We highly suspect the Sykov will be nerfed in the coming weeks, but, given the presumed nuke event and Season 3 update waiting in the wings, players will likely have several days of insanity before its stats are toned down in a substantial way.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.
