Dual Wielding. Interested?

[Cudwieser]

All this talk of guns and the heavy revolver got me thinking. In San Andreas the option to dual wield became available after a certain proficiancy with particulat weapons (as only certain weapon can be dual wielded whether they should be or not.

 

As it stands it isn't an impossibility or the greatest stretch to introduce dual wielding (mirror map the weapon for left handed use and split the ammo), but how do you think dual wielding will change the game? what weapons could be dual wielded within reason and what restrictions, if any, would you put on holding two guns at the same time?

[REVENGE777]

If they added duel wielding, i think it would be exclusive to a single weapon. Im not sure why, but thats R* logic for you. It would probably be a dlc weapon that allows duel wielding.

[ninjaontour]

Yes, very interested indeed.

[Shootinalloveryourface]

Yes, very interested indeed.

[JoeFury1997]

I'm surprised dual wielding isn't a highly requested feature if I'm honest. Don't see why a burger shot interior is a bigger deal than dual wielding weapons but you know.

 

If it was added then they should only add it to the pistol and combat pistol as I think other guns would be too op. Dual wielding should be half as accurate but twice the fire rate (of course) and double the reload time. The attachments should carry over to the second gun in hand too. Doubt it will get added, heck it wasn't even in red dead.

What's the point? What purpose would it serve?

[Logistics]

Yes. I want to dual wield some combat knives and stabby stab f*ckers in the eye.

[DeadMoonNight]

I'd prefer they save it for Max Payne 4 or even Red Dead 3.

Lol you're one of those guys. How about instead of asking why, ask why not?

[CarimboHanky]

unload more bullets in a shorter timer frame.

 

take the ap pistol, make it dual wielding, now you can unload 72 bullets at a time, thats some firepower.

max payne 3 already have dual wielding.

Yeah, that's why I thought it would be the most fitting game to see R* do duel wielding again. But MP4 probably isn't happening anytime soon, so RD3 would be cool too.

 

I just don't see duel wielding being a good idea this late in GTAV's life. I don't care too much either way though.

Really surprised it wasn't in the game to begin with. C'mon man, CJ was such a badass with dual weapons.

[DS_NEO]

Akimbo AP Pistols? Damn that'd be so badass. I'd definitely use them.

Dual SNS Pistols confirmed!

[helresa]

I'll stick to the single weapon dual handed grip, more accurate. If you do have dual weapons then there would be a corresponding loss of accuracy.

[Rocket Skates]

Tec-9s.

[REXX]

Dual Pistol .50's

[RussianCommie]

For the pistols and the Tech-9, Micro SMG, those types of weapons, I would definitely be interested in seeing dual wielding being brought to them. That would definitely be some fire power to be reckoned with.

[Mach1bud]

Yes. Good for pics and movies.

[Locce]

I am on the fence regarding dual wielding.

Realistically dual wielding is a remarkably stupid idea since it makes reloading a lot more difficult and hitting anything that is not subject to a yo mama joke virtually impossible.

On the other hand GTA follows action-movie-reality more than reality-reality anyway, so it would not be much of a bother for fun's sake.

If it were to be implemented I would certainly dual wield a pair of .50 handguns or heavy pistols.

[Jehannum]

Dual wielding is a feature of quite a few other games I play, but I don't like it. It looks tacky - a cheap ploy for added awesomeness.

[Desky]

If they allowed dual wielding for the less used pistols, I think it might allow them some more usage.

 

Dual basic pistols sounds dope.

[Lakitu]

 

Yes, very interested indeed.

 

[VanessaMagick]

It'll probably be a single weapon... which is probably for the best since dual-wielded AP pistols would be f*cking obnoxious as they are. If I was able to dual-wield my Desert Eagle, that update alone would bring me to climax completely extraneous to how expensive anything else was.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Dual wielding all pistols exept the marksman and ap pistol woud be interesting

[MusicMan05]

For dual wielding they could replace aim with fire left gun. That way we can fire both guns independently. The penalty for dual wielding would be lower accuracy, as you can't aim down sites, or lock on. Relaoding could alos take longer as you'd have to reload both guns. But you'd be able to dual wield any single handed weapon. Dual Revolvers would be sweet.

This would be rather clunky considering the way the game is designed but considering I said the same thing about vehicle-mounted weapons I'm sure it's possible.

 

And having to deal with scrubs dual-wielding AP Pistols is not nearly as worrying when you consider that they won't be able to rely on auto-aim.

[Cudwieser]

I am inclined to disagree on the aiming part. Auto aim should be locked off, but the aim button should be functional as before to help aiming. The normal trigger should be used for both weapons in alternating pattern (first shot right, next shot left for example). Otherwise I agree that accuracy should be notably decreased (something that'll happen anyway when and auto aimer goes momentarily free aim). At the end of the day we still need to be able to hit something and third person in this game is so grossly inaccurate IMO that it would be too much of a penalty. Having said that an instant first person lock with free aim might be an idea.

[Sugarfoot]

I would love to see dual wielding in this game. Especially with the AP pistol or revolver. I'm surprised too this hasn't been added yet.
