Best Akimbo Pistol Loadouts To Dominate Warzone 2 Meta

A hotfix patched Ultimate Perks in Warzone 2 on the 10th of January. The patch not only holds implications for picking the best perk package but also affects the selection of a secondary weapon.

Weapon Specialist is the one and only Perk Package that comes with Overkill, which allows players to carry two primary weapons. Sadly, though, weak Bonus Perks and Ultimate hold the package back from being a meta option.

Players will have to search for a strong secondary weapon if falling back on equipping two primary weapons is not an option. The Season 1 Reloaded update nerfed shotguns, so they can not eliminate fully armoured players in one shot anymore.

Riot Shields have also received a nerf in the middle of the season update, and launchers are one-dimensional weapons. Akimbo pistols also received a damage reduction against enemies as a part of the Season 1 Reloaded update.

However, these pistols still stand tall as the best secondary option. In this article, we will talk about how you can maximize the X12 and P890’s potential, so let’s get into it!

Best X12 Warzone 2 Loadout

Following is the best akimbo X12 loadout, along with attachment tuning:

• Barrel: XRK Sidewinder-6 slide (+0.50, +0.40)
• Trigger Action: XRK Lightning Fire (+0.18, -0.10)
• Rear Grip: Akimbo X12
• Laser: 1mW Pistol Laser
• Muzzle: FT Steel Fire (+1.40, +1.00)

Let’s start things off with the FT Steel Fire muzzle, which enhances the bullet velocity, recoil smoothness, and damage range of the weapon. The main focus here is to improve the attachment’s recoil smoothness and aiming idle stability while tuning.

Secondly, we have the XRK Sidewinder-6 Slide, which improves the bullet velocity and recoil control while giving up the aim-down sight speed as well as movement speed. Fortunately, players don’t have to worry about aiming down-sight speed while using the Akimbo rear grip.

Next up, we have the 1mW Pistol laser, which improves hip fire recoil control, sprint-to-fire speed, and recoil accuracy. Last of all, the XRK Lightning Fire offers a boost to the weapon’s fire rate. However, some players go for the 24-Round Mag instead of the XRK Sidewinder Barrel.

Best P890 Warzone 2 Loadout

Following is the best loadout for P890 in Warzone 2, along with attachment tuning:

• Trigger Action: Bruen Express (+0.17, -0.10)
• Rear Grip: Akimbo P890
• Laser: 1mW Pistol Laser
• Magazine: 12-Round Mag
• Muzzle: FT Steel Fire (+1.40, +1.00)

Starting things off with the FT Steel Fire muzzle which enhances recoil smoothness, bullet velocity, and damage range. Hipfire accuracy might be a bit wonky at certain times, so the 1mW Pistol Laser will help stabilize your weapon while firing with the akimbo rear grip.

The weapon is a hit among players due to its rapid TTK speed, so the Bruen Express increasing the fire rate is highly useful for most gunfights. Also, using a 12-Round Mag will save you in multiple situations or scenarios, as firing fast comes with its downsides.

Best Warzone 2 Akimbo Pistol Class: Perks & Equipment

Perk Package: Vanguard

• Base Perk 1: Double time
• Base perk 2: Bomb Squad
• Bonus Perk: Resupply
• Ultimate Perk: High Alert
• Lethal: Drill Charge
• Tactical: Smoke Grenade

Vanguard is a pretty well-balanced Perk Package and does not have any deal-breaking weaknesses. Double Time offers players the chance to sprint longer, which will be highly useful for escaping a gunfight or running from the storm.

Bomb Squad protects players from the brunt force of lethal grenades, whereas Resupply recharges equipment after every 30 seconds. Drill Charges are an extremely necessary equipment item for one to have as it helps in clearing out campers from rooms.

Also, smoke grenades make it easier to reposition and move between cover. When resources are very few at the end of a match, having access to both grenades gives players a distinct advantage.

Hight Alert is in contention for Warzone 2’s best Ultimate perk, and knowing where a player is getting shot from reduces the anxiety involved in trying to clutch a game during the final circle.
