Pistol / handgun update, we need dual wield.
Yes, we need to be able to dual wield handguns/pistols

Meh. Don't think dual wielding was ever in any Fallout game. So we don't need it.

Yep, pistols are sadly very weak and one handed melee too, i allready got great receptions back on reddit for the idea of dual wielding AND getting shields, shields would also make pistols and one hand melee much better.

Major DPS buff, first.

I've always played as a "gunslinger" is the fallout series, so I was disappointed in the pistols's state in 76.

You have to max out gunslinger perks, VATS, addition bonus perks ( like "Glow" ) , stealth , and bloody mess builds - yet basic rifles are far stronger.

I just face-tank with shotguns, hunting rifle/sniper, and preferred perks until level 50 for the free special reroll. Then, I'll get serious on how to proceed.

What does it offer besides 'style points'?

Double magazine higher fire rate? Use a rifle. A rifle will still be better due to reload perk and perception special.

What pistols need is much reduced AP usage to make them burst dps weapons. High burst potential but frequent reloads.

crit pistol builds are the way to go if you want damage.

2 BOXING GLOVES MATE!? thats way to overpowered? What do you wanna duel wield 2 knifes like a british person out for some fish and chip and a beer?

I spent a ton of bullion on the gauss pistol and mods. Even with good legendarys and pistol perks it stunk. Just sticking with rifles from now on (and the flaming duelbar chainsaw ,,, duh)

I know the feeling man, I own every gold bullion plan, pain in the ass to grinde.
Technically there is dual wielding only it's in the form of the Hills are alive emote.
