Two-Gun Mojo, Akimbo or Duel Wielding

Two-Gun Mojo, Akimbo or Duel Wielding whatever the game chooses to call it, I’d like to make a suggestion as to how it could be done.

As a perk it could allow you to select a secondary weapon to your primary slot, giving you two secondary’s but no primary. Triangle or the PC weapon switch key to bring your second gun out, it will stay out until one of your weapons runs out of bullets then be returned to it’s holster. You must reload each gun individually, so it the gun in your holster is empty, you’ll switch to it instead of drawing both, you’ll automatically reload but have to hit the key again to draw the second weapon again. I hope the reloading will be enough of an offset on any advantage that might be gained.

  • While this is a FT suggestion there may be some interest in being able to duel wield specific Pred weapons ie. Swords or even Pistols.

Alternatively or on top of the above, having the option to select a secondary as your primary could be interesting, sometimes I’d like to play a scout with a shotgun and silenced pistol or some other combo that isn’t necessarily efficient or practical.

  • The Mini-Gun should maybe be exempt from being taken as a primary, although I don’t actually have a good reason other than I think someone will bring it up.

lol Yes! To almost everything. Yes Akimbo style/pred dual weild. Extreme YES to getting rid of primary/secondary limits and just pick which classes/models of gun you want period. No reason to exclude minigun that’s my only point of disagreement here.

A full clip of an smg leaves a hunter around 40%hp. The way things are now, if they went with akimbo, it would be broken. Hard pass from me.

Akimbo could be good solution to make pistols useful again, because right now they are useless !

While firing Akimbo would do more damage then a single SMG, keep in mind that you’re hip firing both and the reticule spread is set by the devs. So you’re likely to not be able to just mow down a Hunter who isn’t just sitting there letting you. A good chunk of your bullets are going to catch air.
If I was balancing it, I’d do so around Assault with their stolen boosted secondary damage, hip fire increase and the perks that will likely become meta for this build.

Besides, how can I recreate Dillion if I can’t have two SMG’s?

My concern is with people who’ve played for a while. A common ft strategy, is have 3 ppl shoot up the pred, 1 parrying him.

So with akimbo in the game, 1 parry, and it’s pretty much over. Granted, this can be the case already but idk. Feels like it would be too strong. Unless there was major recoil but would it be worth it then?

However, I wouldnt mind it for any weaker pistols.
