    Dual Bornheim No. 3

    • $292
    • 2 slots
    • Damage 74
    • Rate of fire 65 rpm
    • Drop range 80 m

    Two self-loading Bornheims — the highest rate of fire of any dual pair. Low damage per bullet, so it shines point-blank and at short range.

    Dual New Army

    • $180
    • 2 slots
    • Damage 97
    • Rate of fire 30 rpm
    • Drop range 75 m

    Two double-action revolvers with a short cycle — fast fire for reasonable money. The bullet is slow, so keep the range short.

    Dual Sparks Pistol

    • $310
    • 2 slots
    • Damage 149
    • Rate of fire 15 rpm
    • Drop range 95 m

    Two single-shot Sparks — the two hardest-hitting pistol shots. Then both barrels need reloading, so it's a weapon for one decisive moment.

    Dual Conversion

    • $110
    • 2 slots
    • Damage 104

❓ FAQ

How many slots does dual wield take?

A pair of one-handed pistols takes 2 slots; a pair of Uppercuts or Dolch 96s takes 4. The price is always doubled — as for two pistols.

Which trait do I need for dual wield?

Ambidextrous — it speeds up reloading dual pistols. Without it, once both magazines are empty you're out of the fight for a long time.

Dual wield or a single pistol?

Dual wield doubles your rounds and close-range firepower, but costs twice as much and takes more slots. At range a single accurate pistol (Pax, Sparks Pistol) is often better — see the Pistols list.
