SMGs and Pistols Akimbo?

What? Just sayin’…

In exchange for increased bloom and no ADS, the faster characters can have the smaller SMGs and the pistols akimbo for double rate of fire.

Please don’t. SMGs are so crazy powerfull in this game that would just be completely broken.

SMGs in this game make the assault rifles redundant, you’re right. Pistols then.

Pistols might somehow work yes. I’d prefer it not to be added to all loadouts however, would be cool on like a gunslinger themed merc. Since it would have too much of an impact on loadouts as a perk.

What?

The M4A1 is literally the best gun in the game. The Timik-47 would be good if they changed it, but right now it’s just a worse M4.

The Dreiss and burst weapons are also great midrange weapons, and are much more effective far away than SMGs.

ARs are great. And one class of weapons can’t “make another redundant” anyway, because you can’t choose whether you get ARs or SMGs on a certain character.

Fair points here, AR’s are beastly. But what previous commenters were most probably aiming for here, was their primary-weapon state and great RoF what would make them not the best solution for anyones sanity to be made akimbo wielded. Empire-9 or Tølen, sidearm smg’s, dualwielded could be just…shivers Lets say having i.e Proxy wielding practically a minigun wouldn’t exactly make anyone’s day better.

Pistols however…I wouldn’t mind testing such a thing in the wonderland of testrealm at least some parts of the dev team are hoping to bring us in the future.

Oh, loved the double pistols in Enemy Territory as a rambo medic. Perhaps those could be given for Pheonix? O_O

Some merc with double pistols would be really cool.

Pistols akimbo would still be pretty OP. The S&W .40 has the same DPS as the K-121.

It’d be cool if there was a merc that could dual wield pistols - maybe even Phantom - but they’d have to be special, nerfed versions, or they’d have to be really inaccurate. Like, as inaccurate as a shotty.
