all akimbo pistols are good but akimbo machine pistols are the best

[FL8[OCHO]]

decent ammo pick-up with 60 dmg?

[Torque]

All of them....but depends on what you use...
I use akimbo strick ones since they have good ammo pickup

Akimbo chimano 88 for loud ftw

Dmg 60 is kinda the borderline for a decent ammo pickup IMHO. I use a 40+ up to Mayhem, because of the ammo-pickup and 60+ on DW (don't really play DS). But Akimbos have mostly a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ammo-pickup.

Doesnt really matter - as long you have a good ammo pickup (as already said: max 60 base dmg).

Friend of mine is a "killing machine" - meaning that on maps where most people do 50-150 kills, he does 200-300, on a bad day.
We gave him the 'weakest' (40 base dmg) pistols, me took minigun, another friend took KSP, but our friend using pistols still had the double kills than each of us (and still more than both of us 'special / lmg' users combined)..
That has happened on deathwish.

Saying:
It doesnt matter on the weapon, but your and the build's skills.

And something to get off my chest:
* There is no 'the best' --> it always depends on the circumstances (skills, maps. gamestyle, preferences, equipment combination/setup)

For extample, the Stryk is pretty cool with the right skill set and gamestyle, but without it, they'll pretty bad due to ammo pickup.
Likewise for the .. Parabellum.. 1 or 2 shot dozers on Mayhem (i dont recall, been a while ago).
This said, weapons that do more than 100 base dmg should only be used as 'backup', like the 5/7 AP Pistol (though this is no akimbo).

If you have any questions about ammo drops for different weapons, I would refer you to this online spreadsheet.

If you combine berzerker+overkill aced+underdog + low blow + crits + trigger happy = lotsa dmg ..... 4 shot a dsod dozer

The Akimbo Stryks absolutely wrecks everything with its high rate of fire. Switch it to semi auto and you'll have a great crowd killing weapon. Switch it to full auto and you'll have a great Bulldozer melting weapon.

No need for all of those unnecessary damage boosts. Crits and Trigger Happy do the job just fine.

mostly I use akimbo chimano 88 or cross kill.
if you want to use akimbo pistol with high damage such as deagle, they are fine for offline play with all the ammo boxes for you and bot ammo pickup buff.

If you really want to go all out with damage stacking, you should use Anarchist. Do remove Overkill Aced though. Having to switch to and from your shotgun for a damage boost isn't really that fun.

Akimbo STRYK 18cs

[Miles (Tails) Prower]

Definitely stryk akimbo. I also liked Igors, but ammo should be really reserved with these pistols.

As for others, I liked white streak (baby deagle), Castigos also pretty darn good.
