    Unlocking and Mastering Akimbo Weapons in Modern Warfare 3

    The Akimbo shooting style in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 lets players wield a weapon in each hand. To access this impressive fighting technique, you need to level up your weapons sufficiently. Dual-wielding acts as a unique attachment—it’s awarded to players committed to mastering a particular firearm. Keep in mind that this Akimbo playstyle is only available for a select number of weapons.

    Many firearms gain the Akimbo Perk as part of their leveling system, enabling it as a loadout option before joining an online match. This differs from simply carrying two primary weapons in Modern Warfare 3, as the Perk duplicates an existing firearm instead. In fact, every handgun benefits from the Akimbo Perk, making it an excellent choice for those willing to take advantage of this capability.

    How to Unlock All Akimbo Weapons

    Frequently Use Specific Weapons

    You can unlock a total of 14 firearms equipped with the Akimbo Perk, each requiring specific conditions to enable dual-wielding. These weapons must be used in multiplayer to gain experience through gameplay and earn killstreaks. Following the official release of Modern Warfare 3, updates have modified the criteria to gain Akimbo capability on certain guns.

    A great way to level up your secondary weapons quickly is to utilize Double XP Tokens or participate in Double XP events, which will enhance your progress with your favorite weapons.

    Once you meet any of these criteria, access the Gunsmith menu and equip the Akimbo Perk on the gun you wish to use. This transforms your firearm into two destructive duplicates, particularly effective in close-quarters situations.

    Akimbo can be categorized as an Attachment in your loadouts, typically as a Rear Grip that applies to select types of firearms. SMGs are often the most compatible for dual-wielding, but additional weapons also support the Akimbo feature that you can discover. Some Primary weapons can obtain Akimbo through an Aftermarket Part, although these are less common than secondary weapons.

    Equipping any of these attachments will significantly change your firearm’s performance, making it take longer to reload while increasing damage output. Not only does the Akimbo style add flair, but it’s also excellent for close-combat encounters. However, keep in mind that Akimbo firearms generally experience higher recoil and reduced accuracy, so consider using other Perks or equipment to counteract these drawbacks.

    You can always review the advantages, disadvantages, and any stat adjustments when applying an Akimbo Attachment in the Gunsmith menu. Players who unlock Akimbo weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gain access to an exciting new way to engage opponents in online matches.
