Upcoming Release Balance Discussion (SVN)

[RCJD]

The thing that makes akimbo powerful is that it gives you two weapons with each having the ability of a primary weapon.

I believe SiL3nT was trying to say the akimbo could be considered a second primary weapon, quote: "gives you two weapons... ability of a primary".

For myself, I treat the akimbo as a powered-up secondary weapon. If I'm equipped with AR or SR, I still use them as my primary even when I have acquired the akimbo.

As for sounds, the majority of the players (non-clan, random, sometimes noob pub players) don't care too much about it. That's my experience from when I first started playing AC. Some of the public servers are so chaotic that a) you may not be able to hear the pick up sound or b) it's so chaotic, it doesn't really matter of some player got it. I see how the pick up sound may be more of a problem for the players in clan matches, inters, or 1v1's. But these players are the minority (I'm guessing d:)... though arguably, this minority cares more about the game and actually comes to the forums here.
