Warzone 2 has a few sets of effective and bludgeoning Dual Pistols, also known as Akimbo Pistols, and this quick and easy guide will show you how to get your hands on them in Warzone 2.

Going back to the early days of Warzone 1, some popular loadouts saw players wielding Akimbo Renettis and even Akimbo Diamattis. The deadly combination of two Pistols allowed for almost rapid firing and could down enemy players in a heartbeat.

Warzone 2 players have discovered early on that the tactic is once again effective with several pairs of Dual Pistols proving to be deadly setups.

If you’re eager to know how to own your own pair of wicked weapons, then our guide will easily show you how to unlock Akimbo Pistols in CoD Warzone 2.

How to unlock Akimbo Pistols in Warzone 2

There are currently five different sets of Akimbo Pistols you can unlock to use in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, and you simply need to level up certain Pistols until they reach a particular level.

For a breakdown of each Pistol and its specific requirement, check out this list here:

  • Akimbo .50 GS: Level up the .50 GS to Weapon Level 17
  • Akimbo Basilisk: Level up the Basilisk to Weapon Level 28
  • Akimbo P890: Level up the P890 to Weapon Level 26
  • Akimbo X12: Level up the X12 to Weapon Level 19
  • Akimbo X13 Auto: Level up the X12 to Weapon Level 19

So once you reach the outlined Weapon Level, you will then be able to use two versions of the Weapon at the same time in the game.
