How to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 has received the Edgerunners 2.5 patch, introducing the dual-wielding mechanic that allows players to equip two power category revolvers or pistols simultaneously. To access this feature, players must unlock the Double Trouble perk from the Cool skill tree at level 9, along with four subsidiary perks that enhance dual-wielding proficiency. While dual-wielded iconic weapons retain their unique abilities and special effects, equipping two weapons simultaneously reduces their individual damage output—a penalty partially mitigated by the Double Trouble perk and its upgrades.

The update also adds new content tied to the Edgerunners 2 expansion, including the Clampdown quest. Available after completing The Heist and performing two gigs for fixer Wakako, this quest allows players to obtain King’s complete outfit and his iconic Tech Revolver named Coronation. King’s ensemble includes his distinctive crown-emblazoned coat and spectacles, following a similar precedent set by previous content drops featuring outfits and weapons from other Edgerunners characters like David and Rebecca.

These additions provide substantial replay value for returning players, offering new build possibilities and encouraging fresh playthroughs in Night City.
