When players discovered the Sykov in Plunder, they immediately realized how powerful the new weapon would be. In one post about the gun shared on Reddit, a player revealed that “you can wield the Sykov with the full-auto barrel and 80-round drum (which is apparently a thing that exists).”

In his video, the YouTuber explained that the Sykov can be equipped with several attachments — an 80-round magazine, full-auto barrel and Akimbo configuration — which gives the dual pistols a TTK (time-to-kill) that is lower than the MAC-10 SMG — one of the best guns in the game.
