CD Projekt Red has been adding new content to Cyberpunk 2077 with every update since the game-changing 2.0 update. Aside from the major revamp of the game, they added a brand-new DLC with a new map, weapons, cars, and vendors.
Adding to the chain of content, the game has also received a brand new dual-wielding weapon mechanic with the 2.5 update. If you're wondering how to dual-wield pistols in Cyberpunk 2077, here's an in-depth guide.
How to Dual-Wield in Cyberpunk 2077
To unlock Dual-Wield in Cyberpunk 2077, you'll need to follow some in-game steps and build up your skill tree properly. Here's what you need to do first:
- Level Up the Cool Attribute: Reach a Cool stat of at least level 9.
- Unlock "Double Trouble" Skill: Spend a perk point in the Cool skill tree to acquire the Double Trouble perk.
- Equip Your Firearms: Open your inventory, equip a Power Pistol or Power Revolver in your main weapon slot, and a secondary weapon slot will appear to let you pick a matching sidearm.
Aside from the main perk, you can also invest in the following perks to make dual-wielding much more enjoyable:
- Two Right Hands
- When hip-fring with dual wield: -25% stamina cost, and when aiming with dual wield: -20% recoil and bullet spread.
- Splash of Love
- +50% Fire rate for Heywood Hurricane. At max stacks of Triple Tequila, gain +1 second duration for Heywood Hurricane.
- Triple Tequila
- +10% Mitigation chance after neutralizing an enemy when dual-wielding. This lasts for 15 seconds and stacks up to three times, and Triple Tequila stacks are consumed when performing Haywood Hurricane, giving it +15% damage per stack.
- Keep 'Em Coming
- +40 Stamina after neutralizing an enemy when dual-wielding and +20 Additional stamina per stack of Triple Tequila.
