whats the point of duel wielding

[Jedster]

I really like dual-wielding, first off - it looks cool as hell in kill cam, and second - if you have slower revolvers with high dmg (schofield I think) you have higher fire rate cos you shoot from one hand and than the other and the first is pulling pin.

With double-action revolvers you can fire really fast but accuracy is going off pretty quickly so it's good only for short ranges.

Is it just me, or is the second holster that you get from Micah facing the wrong way across Arthur’s waist?

He has a drop holster at his right hip from which he draws with his right hand. But the handle of the gun in the waist holster is also sticking out to his right.

How the hell is ge meant to quickly draw a gun out of there with his left hand?

Surely it would make better sense to have the handle of the second gun pointed to Arthur’s left?

 

Well, it's a right-handed holster, and I'm sure R* positioned it there to make it easier to draw from said holster with the right hand (not dual-wielding). It's still stupid, however. R* should have had it reverse-holstered directly on the left side of Arthur Morgan. It'd still be easy to grab with the right hand (reaching across his torso), easy to grab with the left hand for dual-wielding (invert wrist/palm, draw handgun, and flick it forwards), and it'd be more sightly.

I was testing out the rate of fire of single-action revolvers, single- and dual-wielded (Flaco's and Granger's revolvers), and I don't believe there's much of a discernible difference there. It mostly seems to double your ammo capacity before having to reload, at a cost of accuracy. That's just a crude observation, though.
