How to unlock Dual Pistols in Warzone

Modified Jun 13, 2024 08:20 GMT

Dual Pistols in Warzone, also known as Akimbo, is a feature that allows you to equip two handguns at the same time, essentially doubling the firepower. This can result in a faster time to kill at close ranges. Sometimes, the damage output is so high that it can take down enemies faster than an Assault Rifle or SMG at such ranges. But it isn't without cons.

The major problem with wielding Dual Pistols in Warzone is that players lose the ability to aim down the sight. Hence, the higher damage output comes at the cost of accuracy. However, at point blank scenarios, this reduction in accuracy doesn't act as a significant disadvantage and instead, higher damage output is preferred.

That said, in this brief guide, we'll take a closer look at how you can unlock Dual Pistols in Warzone for all handguns.

How to get Dual Pistols in Warzone with all Handguns
