Oh, four-foot snakes. Warzone's new excursion to Urzikstan is coming with all sorts of problems, as game-breaking glitches and overpowered weapons come to block your new adventure and send you packing to the Gulag instead.

Shortly after the re-arrival of DMR-zone, one of Warzone's most unbearable metas yet, Raven Software has now added another demonic gun from ages gone by. They combine to make the worst gun composition that we've ever seen.

Forgotten meta returns with new MW3 pistol

Now that the developers have given everyone a free Overkill perk, many players might have forgotten that pistols exist in Warzone - allowing for much more customisation in your loadout with two primary weapons.

But while most are picking up that Sniper and SMG combo, or an AR and Shotgun, for example, others have now found that one pistol is more broken than ever before.

The TYR - MW3's version of the Magnum - specifically claims in its description that it "shoots like a cannon," so, players have now begun to what happens when you put two cannons together. The answer is chaos, as another wave of the Akimbo Snakeshot pistol meta is here.

Players terrified of new Snakeshot Warzone meta

Over the last few hours following a gun-balancing update from Raven Software, the TYR pistols have been found to be among the most menacing weapons in the game, capable of downing a full-health enemy in just one squeeze of each trigger.

Popular content creator Rhys "Rated" Price shared a clip of himself killing a full squad of players in less than a second with these dual-action slug rounds, leaving fans stunned.

"We have time to lock these away before everyone opens their goggles tomorrow," Rated said on Twitter, tagging the developers in a bid to have this nerfed already. Other fans pointed out that it might now be the best time to try the free Zombies weekend, staying as far away from the DMR x Snakeshot battle royale meta.
