Akimbo's power is related to the map and the main weapon used. It's very efficient for snipers and is just a way to reload faster for other weapons. Akimbo in Shine is powerfull because of it's position in the map, you can use it to camp and kill everyone who spawn or use it as a very offensive weapon if you go by the long corridor. Akimbo on Mines is less powerfull because the map is a galery and the pistol is stronger at long distances since the 1.2, the sound of the pickup is loud and opponents can use it to know where you are, you also can use it to send a fake direction or just because it's more powerfull. or eventually they will jump over it and make "no" sound. But on Mines, it will more be used as a strategic pickup than a powerfull one.
I like the way this pickup is actually. just powerfull enough to have different uses rather than just for the power, it's not something that has been ruined with the new versions like the kevlar on Depot got ruined with the helmets.
