The Akimbo Pistols in Warzone 2 are among the most popular weapons in the game. Like Shotguns, you don’t need to aim down your sights for a close-range shot, and this gives you a huge movement benefit. However, dual-wield pistols are not all good to use. For example, we have the GS. Magna, which is an automatic Desert Eagle, and it still disappoints the user. That’s why in this post, we’re going to take a deep look at Warzone 2 Pistols that has the Akimbo attachment and rank the best of them.

The Akimbo is a unique attachment designed only for the Pistol class in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

However, you can mount this attachment on any pistol in Warzone 2, including the Ftac Siege! But among the 7 weapons of the Pistol class in Warzone 2, which are the top three?

The Ftac Siege probably has the highest amount of damage among all the other Pistols in Warzone 2. This weapon was added to the game in Season 3, and since then many players are using it. However, you couldn’t use it as a dual-wield weapon back in Season 3. This is while right now the Akimbo attachment is available for this Pistol too!
Ftac Siege has the highest fire rate than the other weapons in the game; even more than the X13 Auto. But with a high fire rate comes the need for more reloads. And that’s where the developers have thought about this problem beforehand, and you can actually add in a 72-round drum magazine on this little monster! Now do these advantages make Ftac Siege the best Akimbo Pistol in Warzone 2? No.
The Ftac Siege is in fact one of the best Akimbo Pistol loadouts in Warzone 2. But it’s not the number 1 one on the list here. This rapid-fire pistol has a huge amount of recoil when you dual-wield it, and it cannot be controlled so easily. This is while for killing the enemies in Warzone 2, you won’t be able to benefit from the high punching power of this gun. It also doesn’t give you that damage range you need to easily take down opponents in a 15m radius.
2. Basilisk
Pros
- High Damage
- High Mobility
Cons
- Not Automatic
- Very Short Range
- Few Bullets in Loader
Best Akimbo Loadout
- Barrel: 10.5″ Ftac Arrow
- Laser: Basilisk Grip Laser
- Rear Grip: Akimbo Basilisk
- Ammunition: .500 Snakeshot
- Trigger Action: Bryson HTA

Do you want to use a pistol that packs a heavy punch like a shotgun? Yes, the good old Desert Eagle might serve you well. But if you’re a Red Dead Redemption fan and want even more power on that level, then the Basilisk is what you’re looking for. Better known as the Magnum in Black Ops games, this revolver is one of the strongest weapons in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. In fact, you can use this Pistol as a Shotgun, but with a lower range.
This is the strongest weapon that the Pistol class can offer, and if you put a Snakeshot ammunition attachment on it, you’ll unlock a beast. In fact, this is one of the best Akimbo Pistols in Warzone 2 and MW2, only because it has a very high amount of damage. You can kill the enemies using only two taps of the Akimbo Basilisks. But still, some downsides keep the Basilisk from becoming the best Akimbo Pistol in Warzone 2.
You can not shoot ranges with this weapon, and the Snakeshot decreases this matter even more. You also can’t shoot more than 5 bullets from each of your Akimbo Basilisks. This means that you’ll probably only be able to take a few fights at a time with the Basilisk in Warzone 2. This is while the mobility stats with this Akimbo Pistol is good enough for a movement show.
1. The Best Akimbo Pistol in Warzone 2: The X12
Pros
- High Damage
- Big Magazine Sizes
- High Range Stats and Bullet Velocity
- Great Mobility Stats
Cons
- Not Automatic
Best Akimbo Loadout
- Rear Grip: Akimbo X12
- Muzzle: FT Steel Fire
- Trigger Action: XRK Lighting Fire
- Laser: Xten Sidearm-L400
- Magazine: 33-Round Mag
The X12 is the most balanced weapon of the Pistol class. It doesn’t have the high damage of Desert Eagle or Basilisk, but if you be quick on tapping the fire and ADS buttons, you’ll win every close-range fight with it! The X13 is also very mobile for runaways and shows your movement skills in close combat.
But the one thing that makes this Pistol the best in its class, is the Akimbo attachment. This is the best Akimbo Pistol in Warzone 2, while able to pack up to 50 rounds in a single magazine! This huge mag is amazing for taking more than even two fights at a time in Warzone 2 while choosing the Quick Fix perk for healing after each kill.
Also, the accuracy and range of X12 speaks for itself. You won’t need to control the weapon like you’re steering a horse, or needing to get close enough in a 5m radius to secure a kill. All you need to do with the X12 is to tap fast. However, if you are not confident enough for shooting fast with this weapon, consider picking the X13 Auto. This pistol resembles the G18 from the original Modern Warfare 2 and has the same attachments as X12.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are available to play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Battle.Net.
