Default USP Akimbo. Worth the Trouble?

I spent the majority of this match working on USP kills. I seem to always get destroyed by akimbo handguns. Is it worth the time, or should I stick to a shotgun?



Whats your go to secondary?

Shotgun, due to them being the most overpowered secondary in the game.

Give the Spas-12 a try its one of the best secondaries in the game.

My go-to secondary would be the AA-12 with Scavenger. Call it cheap as you will but sacrificing range for fire power works better for me in tighter spaces such as Skidrow and Favela, anything else and it's the Spas. My all around secondary of choice would be the Akimbo Rafficas. Insane fire rate and damage, no less than a two-burst kill, and it retains the same draw time as pistols.

Don't think the akimbo USPS are too good compared to the rest of the secondaries that are available, I may use them occasionally because they are something different, but really shotguns are much better, as is the raffica.

I think the akimbo USP's are awesome. The draw speed is great for when you really need it and the firepower is definitely there. Then again, I recently gave the Spas another go and it is great as well. Still, I would use the pistols for a little extra bit of class :P

This is where they (or any handgun bar the Deagles) stand up to any other secondary. The draw time is insanely quick and has saved my ass a few times - besides they can be really good fun to use and it's a bit more satisfying than spraying with the Glocks.
However, the kills required to get there in the first place is a bit of a drawback and not so much fun.... probably why you don't see them around so often.

I bet if he had used any gun it would have pissed you off too. Still, the trouble of getting the Akimbo USPs is way worth it. To get it I just made a class like you did in the video, although with stopping power so that I was less inclined to run around just using the knife. It didn't really take that long to get it, although your KDR will suffer from match to match, although not so much in the long run.

I have noticed a bit of a desire to have my shotty back. Its mostly when I'm entering a hallway or a high traffic room. The twin USP's have been great for when I run out of ammo and need a fast swap.

Yeh akimbos are good for a change, Its down to how you approach the game , I now appreciate I need a good 20 minutes to change from primary to shotty, but with akimbos its fluid and I can cover more ground if im on the ball.

G18 Akimbo or Raffica akimbo is better.
