Modern Warfare 3 Perks and Equipment allow players to modify their primary and secondary weapons for increased dominance on the battlefield. Some of these Perks are full-on handguns and pistols that come in handy when a player’s primary ammo runs out. One such perk is Akimbo, which lets players use two handguns at once.
The Akimbo weapons feature has been a staple in the COD franchise, but it’s only available to select weapons in MW3. Similarly, players must meet certain requirements to unlock this Perk for their weapons. Knowing how to unlock the Akimbo perk and which guns players can use with the attachment is a must for those hoping to conquer Modern Warfare 3.

What is the Akimbo Perk?
The Akimbo Perk in Modern Warfare 3 is a modifier that lets players fire two handguns at once, doubling their firepower. Players who love action-packed challenges and missions can use the Akimbo Perk to oppress enemies with firepower and flex their shooting abilities.
The Akimbo attachment is only available for secondary weapons (not primary), and players must complete the required challenges in the multiplayer to unlock it.
How to Get the Akimbo Perk
To unlock the Akimbo Perk in MW3, players must complete the challenge tied to a secondary weapon. The requirements are different for various handguns, as shown below:
WEAPON | REQUIREMENTS |
|---|---|
Reach level 14 | |
Renetti | Reach level 25 |
COR 5 | Reach level 17 |
.50 GS | Reach level 9 on GS Magna |

Unlocking the Akimbo Perk usually requires players to level up their handguns. So, gamers should keep using secondary weapons during combat to complete missions and challenges until they unlock all perks and attachments.
How to Use The Akimbo Perk
To use the Akimbo Perk in MW3, players should navigate to the Gunsmith system and equip the feature to the secondary weapon. This will only work on the handgun with the Akimbo feature unlocked. Players who have a specific handgun they’d like to equip should complete the challenge tied to it.
After equipping the handgun with Akimbo, players can use it to dominate smaller maps like Skidrow and claim victory in close-range combat. The additional firepower is highly effective at close distances, where players need to move quickly and swiftly across a map.
