Duel wielding?

Has it been confirmed if we can duel wield weapons? Either way, how do you guys feel about dual wielding? I personally think it would be cool dual wielding a pistol and knife

  • Duel wielding a pistol and a knife? That's a bit silly I mean why don't you just use your pistol and them melee something when it gets too close?

    • I was never much of a fan of dual-wielding.

    • Bungie has not commented on dual wielding. Dual wielding is an over rated game mechanic. What ever the resulting characteristics of having two weapons are, the same results could be achieved by making a single weapon with those same characteristics. All dual wielding really adds to a game is balance issues. Not only does each weapon have to be balanced, but each combination of weapons has to be balanced. This usually ends up with OP combos, or underpowered standalone guns.

        • I would absolutely love it if it's in, and am currently hoping it is.

        • I would love to see some duel wielded swords in this game most of all. I'd enjoy carrying two submachine guns or two hand cannons even more. However, in this FPS type game it be difficult for them to implement when many Guardians i bet wouldn't risk trying to get so up close and personal. I do like the idea of some sort of Power allowing you temporary duel wield or even temporary berserk and swing massive swords around for 8 sec.

        • I don't want to run around in the campaign with two hand cannons blasting everything that moves which would be cool but seems like its over powered.

          • Honestly, I would be surprised to see dual-wielding in Destiny. It's not necessary, and it could make the game unbalanced depending on how Bungie would handle it.Obviously Bungie has tried dual-wielding before in Halo 2 and 3, but they removed the option with Halo: Reach. It would make more sense if they waited to put dual-wielding in to Destiny 2, like how they did with Halo 2. That way there would be more "new features" or whatever. Although I wouldn't mind the option to dual-wield, I wouldn't see myself using it. Its not very useful, it makes weapons OP, there are melee limitations and its awkward trying to pick up the additional weapon.But at the same time, I don't think its bad in any way. I just don't find it useful for my gameplay style.

          • It could work like the borderlands 2 gunzerker and be a super that lets you dual-wield temporarily.

          • I for one am for dual-wielding And to the guy saying to just make a single weapon with the same characteristics as dual-wielding- The great thing about dual-wielding is the flexibility. Halo 2 was great because so many weapons were dual-wieldable that there were combos from full auto to semi auto and mixed. There was a noob combo and near useless combos. Dont just think dualwielding in the sense of carrying two of the same gun but being able to mix 2 guns with different characteristics to counter different enemies strengths

          • I would personally like to dual-wield a Hand Cannon and a Nova Bomb. But I know this won't happen, very unlikely to implement that.
