Cyberpunk 2077 dual wield skill

You can now dual wield certain weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 thanks to its Edgerunners 2.5 patch, though sadly it's limited to revolvers and pistols from the power category, which you can either use dual-wielded, or mix and match if you want to have multiple iconics at once.

First, though, you need to unlock the Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree. There are also four subsidiary perks, which improve your dual-wielding proficiency. There are a few important things to remember:

  • Dual-wielded iconics will retain their abilities and effects.
  • Dual wielding two weapons will make them weaker, though this is somewhat mitigated via Double Trouble's subsidiary perks.

Either way, combining iconic power pistols and revolvers adds a lot of potential in terms of combining effects and running and gunning your way through Night City's mean streets
