Update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners 2 introduces dual-wielding via the new Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree, which is limited to Power Pistols and Power Revolvers only. This guide will provide you with some of the best Dual-Wield builds in the game, including all the supporting perks.
How Dual-Wielding Works & Perks
This perk becomes available in Update 2.5 as soon as you unlock Double Trouble in the Cool 9 tree. It has two ranks:
| Ranks | Features |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Dual-wield Power pistols and revolvers each deal -37.5% damage. When aiming: –15% recoil and –15% bullet spread, while both weapons fire simultaneously. |
| Rank 2 | Replaces Quick Melee with Heywood Hurricane and automatically fires both weapons for 1 second with +50% bullet spread. Ammo spent on successful shots is refunded. |
Additionally, there are four supporting perks, including:
| Perks | Effects |
|---|---|
| Two Right Hands | Hip-fire dual-wield –25% stamina cost; aiming dual-wield –20% recoil and –20% bullet spread. |
| Keep ’Em Comin’ | +40 Stamina after a dual-wield kill and +20 additional Stamina per Triple Tequila stack. |
| Triple Tequila | +10% Mitigation Chance for 15s after a dual-wield kill (stacks 3 times); consumed by Heywood Hurricane for +15% damage per stack (up to +45%). |
| Splash of Love | +50% fire rate for Heywood Hurricane; +1 second duration at max Triple Tequila stacks. |
