Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

The Dual Pistols are best used in close-to-medium ranged encounters.
The Dual Pistols are best paired with a high-damage shotgun. Fire the shotgun, then swap to the Dual Pistols to finish off your opponent.
Avoid using Dual Pistols at long ranges because of their poor accuracy over great distances.
Since the Dual Pistols fire in two-round bursts, be mindful of their capacity. While they have a capacity of 18, they can only fire nine bursts before reloading.
The Dual Pistols are generally unsuited for destroying structures due to their limited capacity.
Landing back-to-back headshots with the Dual Pistols can deal well over 100+ damage in a single burst, making them more effective than most SMGs if you're accurate with them.
