How to Get Akimbo in Modern Warfare 3

Welcome to our friendly guide on how to obtain and effectively use the Akimbo modifier in Modern Warfare 3. With Akimbo, you can wield two secondary weapons simultaneously, but it comes with certain limitations. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of unlocking Akimbo and provide tips on maximizing its potential. So grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let's dive in!

To start dual-wielding madness, you first need to unlock the Akimbo grip attachment for your chosen weapon. Here's how:

Not all weapons in Modern Warfare 3 support the akimbo-style. The following weapons can be equipped with the Akimbo grip attachment:

2. Level Up and Progress:To unlock the Akimbo grip attachment for your chosen weapon, you need to play matches, complete challenges, and earn experience points (XP) to level up your weapon. The higher the weapon level, the closer you are to unlocking Akimbo.

3. Gunsmith Customization: Once you reach the required weapon level, access Gunsmith, the weapon customization menu. Here, you can equip the unlocked Akimbo grip attachment to your weapon of choice. Experiment with different attachments to enhance your weapon's performance.

Before diving into intense firefights with dual-wielded weapons, it's important to consider their advantages and limitations:

1. Close-Range Dominance: The primary advantage of Akimbo is its devastating impact at close quarters. When faced with multiple enemies or in tight spaces, dual-wielding can significantly increase your damage output, giving you the upper hand in close-range engagements.

2. Sacrificing Range: Dual-wielded weapons, by nature, sacrifice accuracy and effective range. When aiming down sights with a single weapon, you have better control and accuracy compared to dual-wielding. Therefore, it's crucial to understand that Akimbo weapons lose their effectiveness at medium or long ranges. To compensate for this limitation, it's important to adapt your playstyle accordingly.

To make the most out of your dual-wielding adventures, keep these tips in mind:

1. Optimal Game Modes: Utilize Akimbo in close-quarters multiplayer maps or game modes that encourage close-range encounters. The fast-paced nature of these maps and modes provides the perfect environment for dual-wielding mayhem. Additionally, the 3v3v3 Cutthroat mode can be a great choice as it offers intense close-quarter battles.

2. Play Smart: Since aiming down sight is no longer possible with Akimbo, it's important to focus on hip-firing and maintaining a mobile playstyle. Staying agile and unpredictable can help you navigate through the battlefield and take advantage of the close-range dominance Akimbo weapons offer.

3. Stay Close and Personal: To fully utilize the power of Akimbo, engage enemies at close range. Look for opportunities to use tight corners, narrow corridors, or surprise flanking maneuvers. These scenarios will allow you to maximize the damage potential of your dual-wielded weapons and catch opponents off guard.
