The phrase “Akimbo” refers to dual wielding weapons in Modern Warfare 3, a skill you can unlock and use by leveling up guns for the right attachment.
The Akimbo weapon style in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 allows you to use a gun in each hand, but you have to level up your firearms enough to unlock this stylish combat technique. Acting as a special attachment, dual wielding is given as a reward for those who dedicate themselves to mastering a single weapon. Akimbo is reserved only for a few different types of guns you can use within the game.
Several weapons have the Akimbo Perk as part of their leveled progression as a loadout ability you can equip before queuing for an online match. This is different from carrying two primary weapons in Modern Warfare 3, with the Perk duplicating a pre-existing firearm instead. Every Handgun has the Akimbo Perk, which is the ideal gun to consider when trying to take advantage of this trait.
How To Get Every Akimbo Weapon in Modern Warfare 3
The only way to unlock every Akimbo Weapon is to increase a specific gun’s Level or complete challenges tied to an individual firearm in Modern Warfare 3. There are ten guns with the Akimbo Perk, each with its prerequisites to get the dual-wielding feature. These secondary weapons must be used in multiplayer if you want to level them up by doing well in matches and earning killstreaks.
One of the best strategies for leveling up secondary weapons fast is to use Double XP Tokens or play during Double XP events to maximize your progression for your favored weapon(s).

When you meet any of these goals, go to the Gunsmith menu and equip the Akimbo Perk with the secondary weapon you want to use. This attachment clones the gun into two twins of destructive force, especially in close-range encounters. Those who unlock Akimbo weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 can use an incredibly slick approach to fighting other players in online matches.
