Help with dodge akimbo SMG build
Hi! im looking for some advise on making a build centered around akimbo smgs and dodge to be a fast af boi running with dual brrr guns.

Why? hell 'cause it sounds fun af. Im on level 100 atm and im getting money for infamy 1 (thanks to some early poor monetary decisions with my off shore account, im not broke but yea. Im close tho)

I only have anarchist and stoic completed, close to finishing burglar and after that i'll go with whatever perk deck you guys suggest that's best for dodge (although i've heard that rogue is the way to go with dodge)

DLC i have: everything in the legacy edition, no more than that.

What i look for in the smg is something pretty balanced, a jack of all trades kind of weapon since i've heard that ammo pickup rate for the akimbo smgs is awful and i kinda expect the one with the best rate to be meh in the other aspects so yea, idk you guys lemme know 'cause i still feel really new to this game lol.

fwiw i already run akimbo grimms on another build so i somewhat know how it is to deal with those ammo issues but it may be worse on smgs, i dunno

For secondary is free real estate i supose

Thanks!

You can really just run any akimbo SMG you want as long as you stay away from the Patchetts. They all have eh ammo pickup, but that's mostly because this game was once balanced around bringing ammo bags as well as medic bags. I recommend the Akimbo Kobuses if you want a bullet hose, the Akimbo Compact 5s if you want a bit more ammo economy, or the Akimbo Krinkovs if you want no ammo economy and utter destruction of your enemies. I think Anarchist goes best with running around while waving two guns. If you can spare not having your own healing items, I highly recommend getting aced ammo bags, or rely on your secondary. Aced Body Expertise is good as well, since I don't think you can get many headshots with akimbo SMGs. As long as you take aced Shock and Awe, you can bring any SMG you want as a secondary. If you don't have it, you can either take along a grenade launcher, a Grimm loaded with Dragon's Breath, or the 5/7 to deal with shields. Although if you run the 5/7, you'll probably run into even more ammo problems. Either way, akimbo SMGs are a fun but ammo wasting weapon class, and as long as you compensate for its flaws, you'll have fun with the amount of damage they deal.

By the way, the Akimbo Grimms have a really high ammo pickup. In fact, they're one of the best weapons in the game. Don't rely on your experience with Akimbo Grimms to judge Akimbo SMGs.

Akimbo smg's arn't really the best, but out of all of the possible choices, krincov and kobus 90's, if your gonna use them, your almost certanlly gonna need to have ammo bags, there is also a way to make the krincov smg ammo positive with anarchist beserker. ( I think carrot said that in one of his videos)

Hacker is almost always better than rouge as it relies a little less on chance with increased health and being able to use it when you want to(it also ends up haveing more dodge than rouge with everything activated)

Akimbo smgs use way more ammo than akimbo shotguns

So overall use the kobus 90's if you really want to use akimbo smg's but otherwise, just use the akimbo goliaths as they are pretty much better at everything.

Edit: secondary is 5/ap pistol or explosive judge if your going to use the goliaths.
