Best COR-45 Akimbo Loadout For Multiplayer

COR-45 Akimbo Setup

Top Class TTK At Both Close and Long-Range

This loadout transforms the COR-45 into an advanced firearm that can deliver one of the best Time to Kill (TTK) rates at both close and long ranges. If you set the Trigger Action to XRK Lightning Fire, you will have the highest Fire Rate but lower Sprint To Fire Speed, and it might be difficult to stabilize tap shooting. So, XRK V 21 Heavy Match might be more suitable for most players.

High-Speed Tap Shooting Skill Is Required

To maximize COR-45's potential, this build requires high-speed tap shooting skills. Thus, it is recommended for players who are proficient at tap shooting.

High Mobility and Undetectable By Radar

The Hmres Mod Suppressor XS increases shooting range and accuracy, and reduces sound to remain undetectable by radar but recoil control may decrease. Using XRK Swiftshot Light Barrel can slightly make up the recoil control and improve mobility and handling, allowing you to move around quickly and quietly while dealing great damage.

Best Renetti Akimbo Loadout For Multiplayer

Renetti Akimbo Setup

Out Of Radar Sight

When you equip the Monolithic Suppressor, you won't appear on the minimap, which is crucial for maintaining your stealth and evading detection. The Monolithic Suppressor can also provide some recoil reduction. This added stability can help you maintain better accuracy, especially during sustained fire.

Increase Ammo Up To 50 Rounds

With a larger magazine, you can engage multiple opponents or maintain a sustained rate of fire for longer durations without interruption. This can be crucial for suppressing enemy positions, holding objectives, or clearing out groups of enemies.

Improve Reloading Time

The 50-Round Mag significantly boosts ammunition capacity from the Renetti's standard 15 rounds, but it does come with a trade-off, which particularly affects the weapon's Reload Speed. You can equip a Gunner Vest or use the Commando Gloves so you can reload while you sprint away to compensate for this drawback.

Enhance Your Weapon's Versatility And Mobility With A Stock Attachment

The Ftac Satus Folding Stock allows for Tactical Stance so you can quickly transition from a crouch to standing to gain a tactical height advantage or drop prone to go under obstacles or evade enemy fire.

Optimal Setup For Speed

The Monolithic Suppressor is a good muzzle choice, if you prioritize stealth and staying off the radar. Whereas, the WSP Factory Stock allows you to maintain recoil control and accuracy, making it easier to adjust your position swiftly without sacrificing stability.

Recommended For Extended Battles

While the 32 Round Magazine may come at a slight cost to speed, it remains the best magazine selection, boosting the WSP Stinger's 20-Round capacity to a remarkable 32 rounds. This huge upgrade can be advantageous for prolonged combat situations, guaranteeing your ability to engage multiple targets without the constant hassle of reloading or unwanted interruptions.

Attachments Not Recommended To Equip

Barrel are generally not recommended because they can trade speed for some recoil control. Similarly, Lasers should be used with caution as they have the potential to reveal your position, especially in close-quarter combat situations. Additionally, modifying Ammunition is not advisable, as it can affect critical factors such as bullet range, recoil, and reload speed, all of which can prove disadvantageous in fast-paced environments.

Best TYR Loadout for Zombies

Shotgun-Level Damage Output

You can treat this weapon like a Shotgun by equipping the Snake Shot Ammunition and at the same time being able to dual wield this weapon makes it even more powerful. The game has been updated to decrease the damage output when you equip Akimbo, but it is still powerful.

With Limited Rounds, But Effective Against Bosses

The downside is that even if you Pack-a-Punch it, you only have 5 rounds for each handgun, the range is short, and you cannot use ADS. However, with some practice, TYR can be very effective against both zombies and bosses. They are particularly powerful when you aim for the boss's weak point simultaneously with both guns, resulting in unparalleled damage output.

Best WSP Swarm Akimbo Loadout For Zombies

High Rounds Despite Low Damage

After Pack-a-Punching, you will have 200 rounds for each one, resulting in a total of 400 rounds for both. Although each round doesn't deal much damage, the combination of a large magazine and quick reload speed will allow you to keep attacking without pause.

Powerful Against Bosses And Zombies

It's easy to deal with a swarm of zombies and attack the boss at the same time, as you will rarely run out of bullets. This makes it perfect for solo players, with good range and accuracy. In fact, it can even be used to accurately damage the weak point of Aether Worm.
