Payday 2 Akimbo Mod: How to Dual-Wield SMGs and Pistols



The Akimbo VD-12 is the only akimbo variant of a primary weapon, the VD-12, instead of being based on a secondary. This also means one cannot bring both the solo VD-12 and the Akimbo VD-12 together, as they occupy the same slot. Additionally, the Akimbo version also has a few unique traits of its own.

Though its concealment is much higher, it has reduced damage per shot, a smaller magazine capacity, and 0 stability. It also lacks a few modification options that the solo variant has. However, the Akimbo VD-12's rate of fire and pickup remain the same, still giving it strong synergy with custom ammo. It arguably has greater synergy in this regard, having more ways to offset ammo reductions via the Akimbo skill and/or the Hitman Peck Deck, whereas the solo variant can only do so from Fully Loaded(which the akimbo VD-12 can also benefit from.)


There are a lot of options for attachments, but accuracy, stability, and reload time are the stats to focus on. The primary akimbo guns should be equipped with a fully auto mod. Finally, class is complete with a pistol secondary and melee weapon.


With this setup, gamers will have four different AI at their disposal to help take down more enemies. If people need to fire a bullet, they will barely have to aim with the Grimm and dual akimbo SMGs. This is one of the most mindless ways to play Payday 2, but it provides a nice break from the stress of complex builds.


Shotguns have been meta in Payday 2 for some time. Specifically, the Goliath 12-gauge shotguns have been among the best options for a few years. Unlike the Grimm shotgun, the Goliaths are extremely accurate weapons. They have more ammo and much better stability. Players will be able to concentrate fire better and deal more damage, but the Goliaths actually require skill to use. They may not be as easy to wield as the Grimm, but they are more effective when used correctly. Running these powerful guns akimbo as a hacker with the following skills is a foolproof way to dominate in Payday 2. Players will want the following skills:


The key attachments for this 2021 build include the short barrel, shark teeth nozzle, and concealment mod. Any type of pistol will work as a secondary, but the Magnum is probably the best medium to long-range option in the class. The Magnum will complement the close-range akimbo shotguns and gamers will be unstoppable at all ranges. The Hacker skills will give players +20 health for every kill, rewarding aggressive tactics. Hackers can continuously push enemies without dying.


The Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2 includes a sniper rifle, an assault rifle with an underbarrel grenade launcher and an SMG (the latter with akimbo option), along with 10 mods and 10 weapon colors. It also includes a new electric grenade for use as a throwable or with the Ketchnov Byk-1 assault rifle (the throwable version is also available separately for free through an in-game achievement).


This Japanese-designed compact submachine gun is the perfect tool for extended close quarters skirmishing, be it in a San Francisco back alley or in the corridors of a mazy bank building. And if you feel like really laying it on, you could bring two and use them akimbo. 2ff7e9595c
