Surprise, a powerful magnum is back in Call of Duty: Warzone. Like a plague that never seems to go away, we’ve got you covered with the best Akimbo Tyr Snake Shot loadout in Warzone, plus way more.
Snake Shot magnums have been a recurring issue in Warzone, and in season one of Modern Warfare 3’s Warzone iteration, this time it’s the Tyr. If you’ve made it through the slog of leveling up the sluggish hand cannon in MW3, your reward is a pair of handheld shotguns that were truly broken in December 2023.
The Akimbo Tyr has since been heavily nerfed, but a new Aftermarket Part’s availability may be more exciting to use, so we’ve got you covered with multiple of the best Tyr builds in Warzone.
Best Tyr Sniper Pistol loadout in Warzone
The new meta for the Tyr is the JAK Beholder Rifle Kit, which was enabled for use in an update in season one. Previously, it could be unlocked but not equipped. Now, the Conversion Kit that turns the Tyr into a Sniper Pistol can be yours.
- Muzzle: Tempus GH50
- Optic: Corvus SOL-76 or Luca Bandera Scope
- Ammunition: 12.7x55mm High Grain Rounds
- Trigger Action: Ullr’s Fury
- Conversion Kit: JAK Beholder Rifle Kit
The JAK Beholder Rifle Kit adds a stock and a much longer barrel to the Tyr, turning it into something like a handheld sniper. You can make it even better with attachments like Ullr’s Fury, which increases the fire rate, the Tempus GH50 muzzle, which is hugely important for reducing recoil and gun kick, and the 12.7x55mm High Grain Rounds that increase bullet velocity and damage range to really make this thing mean.
Even with this loadout, the Tyr kicks like a mule. If you don’t hit your shots, don’t bother.
The Tyr with the Conversion Kit has the potential to three-tap enemies from up to 30 meters, but the range drops off precipitously after that. It’s a fun, different weapon to use in the secondary slot, if you so choose.
The choice to make here is what kind of optic you’d like. The Corvus SOL-76 is good for mid-range, while the Luca Bandera Scope is more befitting of a sniper rifle.
Best Tyr perks and equipment in Warzone
- Perk Package
- Perk 1: Battle Hardened
- Perk 2: E.O.D.
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Perk 4: High Alert
- Secondary weapon: Top-tier LMG or Assault Rifle
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
You’ll need a good full-auto long-range weapon to pair up with the Tyr, so use a good LMG or AR in that slot. Whip out the Tyrs when it’s time to run to or from a skirmish, and when entering close quarters where they can do their damage up close, depending on the top of optic you have.
How to get JAK Beholder Rifle Kit in MW3 and Warzone
The JAK Beholder Rifle Kit is an unlockable Aftermarket Part that’s the reward for completing five weekly challenges during week three of season one in MW3.
Best Akimbo Tyr Snakeshot build in Warzone
If you’ve found this loadout guide, it’s likely because you’ve been killed by these things in Warzone and want to fight fire with fire. We don’t blame you, and we’ve got your back so you can bring the dual-wield magnums to the fight the next time you drop in, too. But be aware it’s been heavily nerfed in a season one update.
- Barrel: ZIU-16 Heavy Long Barrel
- Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser
- Ammunition: 12.7x55mm Snake Shot
- Trigger Action: Ullr’s Fury
- Rear Grip: Akimbo TYR
The key attachment here, obviously, is the Snake Shot ammunition. The Snake Shot attachment is “a small cartridge loaded with lead shot, snakeshot ammo turns your revolver into a handheld shotgun.” Now imagine two handheld shotguns at once, and it’s easy to understand why this was so busted.
You need to be pretty close with the Snake Shot Tyrs to deal max damage, but firing both hand cannons at the same time will likely result in a one or two-shot kill from the proper range.
The ZIU-16 Heavy Long Barrel increases Damage Range, Bullet Velocity, Recoil Control, and Gun Kick Control, and the 1MW Pistol Laser greatly increases Hip Recoil Control, Hip Fire Accuracy, and Sprint to Fire Speed, truly making these things fun to wield in Warzone.
