Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone sees the return of a familiar meta from Modern Warfare 2 - the Akimbo Snakeshot. With its best loadout, two TYR pistols again dominate matches when wielded together due to their absurd short-range damage buff. When used in an Akimbo style, Snakeshot pistols can easily eliminate enemies, allowing you to secure victory.

The inclusion of the returning Verdansk map in Warzone included a major update that changed several features in Call of Duty's battle royale mode. From returning weapons to new game modes, Season 3 of Modern Warfare 3 seems to be themed around bringing back fan-favorite content from previous titles. That being said, the Akimbo Snakeshot's increased power is accidental, so it may not last for long.

Best Attachments For An Akimbo Snakeshot Loadout

Equip Strong Parts To Complete The Meta Build

To make the Akimbo Snakeshot meta loadout, you need to equip the right attachments to one of two different weapons. The meta Akimbo Snakeshot build can be made best with the TYR Handguns, depending on which firearm you prefer. Whichever weapon you choose, your first attachment needs to be the "Akimbo" version of either pistol's Rear Grip to ensure you are dual-wielding two guns instead of just having one sidearm.

Once you have the "Akimbo TYR" Rear Grip attached, you can start thinking about other attachments to equip. Your goals should be to use parts that increase the damage and range of your Akimbo pistols. This will allow the meta loadout in Warzone to have better one-shot potential against all enemy players as you encounter them on any map.

The Akimbo Snakeshot loadout is named after the "Akimbo" Rear Grip, which allows you to wield two sidearm pistols at once for higher damage. It also refers to Snakeshot Ammunition, which already has a high firepower at close-range.

The following table goes over the best Attachments to use for an Akimbo Snakeshot build, including what effect they add to the weapons you wield:

Attachment Type	Attachment	Attachment Effect
Barrel	ZIU-16 Heavy Long Barrel	Extends the range of the bullets you fire from both Akimbo sidearms.
Laser	CS15 Scarlet Mounted Laser	Reduces the Sprint to Fire time of your guns.
Rear Grip	Akimbo TYR	Allows you to wield two TYR Handguns at the same time.
Ammunition	12.7x55MM Snake Shot	Greatly bolsters the damage of the bullets you fire.
Trigger Action	Ullr's Fury	Gives you a faster Fire Rate while wielding Akimbo pistols.

Once combined, these Attachments increase the Damage, Fire Rate, Accuracy, and Recoil Control of your TYR pistols. At the same time, this build sacrifices Range and some Mobility and Handling, giving the Akimbo guns greater kill potential at the cost of some control.

Best Perks For An Akimbo Snakeshot Loadout

Improve And Refine Existing Strengths

You get to equip three Perks in your loadout before going into a match, giving yourself some extra abilities or buffs that can refine the Akimbo Snakeshot build even further. Some perks are better used on specific maps, while others can work in a variety of environments. For example, the best loadouts on Verdansk may try to bolster speed rather than firepower, while other maps may demand the opposite.

Here are some Perks you may want to use with an Akimbo Snakeshot loadout:

• Scavenger - Start equipped with maximum reserve ammo for your primary weapon. Resupply ammo equipment and plates from dead enemies.
• Dexterity - Reduced weapon motion while jumping, sliding, and diving. You also take less fall damage.
• Sprinter - Can tactical sprint indefinitely.
• Cold-Blooded - Undectable by AI targeting and thermal optics. Prevents some enemy recon Perks and effects.
• Gung-Ho - Reduced movement speed penalties when reloading or using equipment. Reload when Tac Sprinting.
• Ghost - Undectable by enemy Radar Pings while moving. Cannot be detected by some devices.

Due to any Akimbo loadout using two guns at once, you'll be burning through ammo faster than most weapons. It takes longer to reload while you are dual-wielding, so you want Perks that make this process easier. Between the Scavenger and Gung-Ho Perks, you won't have to slow down to reload during intense firefights.

Greater speed and some stealth tactics from these Perks will help you stay on the move and ambush enemies with your Akimbo Snakeshot build. The loadout is designed to take out enemies fast, which is typically easier to do if they are surprised and don't get a chance to fire back.

Best Equipment For An Akimbo Snakeshot Loadout

Grab Some Lethal And Tactical Gear For Extra Firepower

The Perks and Attachments for the Akimbo Snakeshot build are the most important elements of the loadout, but your equipment can provide some nice backup. In my experience, having some Lethal or Tactical equipment can help create the best scenarios for your Akimbo loadout to work. Here are some equipment items you may want to consider using with the Akimbo Snakeshot loadout:

• Molotov Cocktail
• Smoke Grenade
• Stim
• Concussion Grenade
• Flash Bang

Smoke Grenades or Flash Bangs can disorient your foes, leading to the element of surprise that works so well for the Akimbo Snakeshot set. I've managed to kill enemies in a couple shots using the TYR pistols after throwing a Concussion Grenade into a tight space on a map. While other items like Thermite from CoD: Black Ops 6 aren't present in Warzone, other items that deal continuous damage will help support your Akimbo weapons.

Some equipment you find will be exclusive loot that depends on the map you are playing on. For example, the new Verdansk map in Season 3 has lootable Smoke Grenades, Frag Grenades, and Flash Bangs that could be useful with the Akimbo Snakeshot build.

Having Stims can help you heal from injuries taken while wielding the Akimbo Snakeshot build, as you will take some punishement as a risk from the loadout. The Akimbo Snakeshot build acts like a glass cannon at times, so having a way to recover will keep you in the running to win a match longer.

Feel free to experiment with different Perks and Equipment with your Akimbo pistols to see what works best in the current meta. Although the Akimbo Snakeshot damage is likely to get nerfed soon, it still remains a strong build in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3.
