What is the best Akimbo Pistols loadout in MW2? (Season 6)
Click to enlargeWhen it comes to the regular Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, the 9mm Daemon is the best pistol for running the Akimbo attachment. This is the latest handgun to arrive in the game, and it has certainly made a significant first impression.
What's more, it appears to work best with the Akimbo attachment, so you're not only getting the best version of this gun but the best Akimbo pistol overall in MW2 right now. With a pick rate of 2.1% according to WZRanked, the player base certainly seems to agree too, as it soars above the rest.
The best 9mm Daemon Akimbo Pistols Loadout for use in Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer features the following attachments:
- Barrel: XTEN Windfall
- Laser: FJX DIOD-70
- Trigger Action: Rapid 30 Trigger
- Magazine: 26 Round Drum
- Rear Grip: Akimbo 9mm Daemon
The main reason behind the strength of the Akimbo 9mm Daemon is its fire rate, as with that Rapid 30 Trigger attachment you will be able to mow down any enemies that dare to stand in your way.
I love using this gun in multiplayer across the board, but I find that it especially shines in any map with enclosed spaces. Shipment, Shoothouse, and Farm 18 are the classics, but you'd be surprised at how effective you can be in pretty much every other map if you know how to position well.

Best Akimbo Pistols loadout in Warzone 2 (Season 6)
Click to enlargeWhen it comes to Warzone, our pick for the best Akimbo Pistol loadout is the FTAC Siege - which currently holds a 1.4% pick rate in the game mode.
The main reason for this is due to the absolutely massive 72-round drum magazine, which will save you from reloading and help you secure those all-important kills. When dying means so much more in Warzone compared to multiplayer, you will certainly be thankful that you don't have to stop and reload.
Here are the attachments that you'll want to equip the FTAC Recon with if you're looking for the best Warzone 2 Akimbo Pistols class:
- Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
- Barrel: CMRN-50
- Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser
- Magazine: 72-Round Drum
- Rear Grip: Akimbo FTAC Siege
As you can see, you can build an incredibly strong Akimbo loadout here, so make sure to try it out if you're looking to dominate close-quarter engagements. I love using the FTAC Recon for this reason, as you are often able to get the jump on unsuspecting enemies and send them back to the gulag before they've ever had the chance to fight back.
