there are few things cooler than dual wielding shotguns now these weapons are already designed
to blow people away when they get too close but there's something extra awesome about running
around with two of them and cleaning up the battlefield throughout cod history we've got
a number of akimbo shotgun options and today well today we're going to do something we
haven't done in quite a while welcome everybody chaos here i'm going to rank every akimbo shotgun
in cod history from cod 4 all the way to vanguard now keep in mind we're going to be talking about
the games in their current state so yet some of these are completely overpowered at some point but
i'm talking about them as they are on september 1st of 2022. so you let me know what you want us
to rank next yes the ranking series is coming back drop a like make sure you're subscribed
we start off with the akimbo executioner in black ops 2. we are going worst to best it's one of the
worst pistols in cod history also makes for one of the worst of kimbo shotguns it was a it was a bad
design shotgun pistol looked cool people insist it was good despite it being one of the most
difficult weapons in the game to get kills with the concept of a shotgun pistol is awesome but the
range it was pitiful and the damage was extremely inconsistent so by running the executioner in a
kimbo form you could get more consistent one-shot kills but since you can no longer aim down the
sights well your range was made even worse which was really bad because of the already poor range
in the gun it was rough the executioner was bad enough but it was honestly made worse into
kimbo mode and absolutely nobody ran these things seriously back in the day before we move on guys
are you a fan of the punisher which akimbo set from this list do you think frank castle would use
and while we're talking about that if you guys are into pop culture marvel dc comics or anything
check out the chaos comics youtube channel we are on our way to 3 000 subscribers and join the
discord i'll put the links in the description i hope to see some of you over there at number nine
the akimbo hs10 in black ops 1 it pains me to put these here now determining which shotgun was worse
was honestly tough i usually don't have a hard time figuring out which gun is worse but the as10
it was awful semi-auto shoddy one of the worst guns in the original black ops but
it was also one of the only primary weapons that you could dual wield for some reason
now you would think that using two shotguns at once would give you at least a little advantage on
the battlefield but it didn't you could only have four shells in the hs so you could i mean you'd
constantly be reloading the accuracy was almost hilariously bad and the range was pitiful the
only reason the hs10 is above the executioner is at least the reload animation was quick so there
was there was less downtime but the akimbo it was terrible it was a close race from the bottom to
the top now i did feel really really awesome using them but they weren't any good at number eight the
akimbo 357 snake shots in modern warfare 2019 now i know i know there was a time when the 357 snake
shots would have been in the top three of this list but since they've been nursed super hard
they're at number eight now granted they're still really good weapons and you're gonna find
that every entry moving forward in this video is a pretty solid choice almost every kimbo shotgun in
cod history is good so even though the 357s are a fraction of their former selves they're still
viable by throwing an ammo conversion onto the revolver you can turn it into a beefier version of
the executioner and running them in a kimbo form can give you pretty powerful close range secondary
options the snake shots were sweet i think number eight is a fair place for them in the current
market the akimbo rangers and modern warfare 2 i'm probably going to get a little heat for this
modern warfare 2 introduced us to the idea of akimbo shotguns the rangers were an extremely
popular option double barrel shotgun that had a decent one-shot kill range but very very bad ammo
capacity but running them in a kimbo form could help offset that a little with the damage and
the speed penalties you can fire them one after another to basically double the fire rate or
you could fire them both at the same time to effectively double your one-shot kill potential
plus reload animation it was nice it was quick it was smooth you weren't caught off guard out in the
open they were a fan favorite in the original modern warfare 2 so much that they got a remake
seven years later and speaking of that remake at number six the akimbo rangers and modern warfare
remastered they were brought back as dlc in the remake of cod 4. i know fans were upset about
the addition of new weapons but here they are i think legacy weapons were okay i mean if they're
going to add new guns to a remake wouldn't you prefer them to be legacy instead of brand new
guns that feel out of place just trying to be the the glasses half full here the optimus not the
peptidis or pessimist but the akimbo rangers were pretty cool they were they were nearly identical
to the modern warfare 2 version and the map design of cod 4 allowed for them to be a bit more useful
than before they were good in both games when it comes down to it i think you just got more out of
the modern warfare remastered version so it gets a slightly higher spot cracking into the top five
the akimbo double barrel in vanguard now vanguard hasn't exactly been most talked about cod game of
all time but there have been a few things that i've seen people discussing in the akimbo double
barrel is one of them now i may not have followed vanguard very closely but i know there was a point
where everybody was spamming these double barrels because of the one-shot kill range and the spammy
potential it seems sledgehammer did their best to cage the beast but recent gameplay
still seems pretty solid i don't think they may have gone far enough for something like this
now i'm all four kimbo shotguns having a generous one-shot kill range but the 10 attachment gunsmith
system in the game well it makes guns easy to exploit at number four the akimbo model 1887 in
modern warfare 2. don't dislike the video just for the fact that i put them at number four you have
to hear me out and i have to remind you that we're talking about shotguns in their current state
the kimball models were one of the most ridiculous aspects of the game when it came out yes
dual wielding lever action shotguns you were terminator with every flip
it was awesome they were awesome enough on their own but when the game first came out something
was funky with their damage range because they could basically snipe people now they were one
of the best weapons in the entire game they were the best weapon in the entire game and a lot of
modern warfare 2's problems were never fixed but this one actually got patched out before infinity
ward and activision had their fallout therefore they're at number four at number three today
the akimbo marshals in black ops cold war now they were added to cold war a little while after
launch and people were they were talking aside from bringing back bad memories of a certain
other martial and black ops history the cold war marshall was very easy to exploit once you leveled
it up now the single weapon wasn't anything to be scared of the crazy late unlocked attachments made
it game breaking you could run it in the kimbo form loaded with incendiary shells for absolutely
just absurd damage in a fast reload animation to boot i think most of you can understand
why it was a problem treyarch eventually stepped in nerfed it but the akimbo marshals are still
arguably the best secondary in that game they handle quickly they have super generous range drop
off and they pack a ton of damage as soon as you pull the trigger they were nutty even after the
nerfs at number two we're just to continue to get angry here the akimbo marshall 16's in black ops 3
one of the most infamous supply drop weapons in history shotgun pistol hybrid in black ops
3. now i believe it was the first ever weapon of that kind in cod history the marshall could
only be fired once before being reloaded but that one shot had a lot of stopping power for
a considerable amount of distance it didn't it didn't take long for people at all to realize
that running the marshall 16 into kimbo was one of the most broken things in the game you had
the mobility of a pistol but the one shot kill range from the black ops 2 ksg or maybe further
it was frustrating to go up against because not only would they instantly delete you from any
distance they were locked behind freaking supply drops so there was a really good chance that you
never even got to use them yeah those days are behind us and that number one today
the the best of kimbo shotgun ranked by me has to be the akimbo m2187 and infinite warfare i'm
gonna get heat for this okay it's a hot tape but hear me out dlc shotgun lever action meant to be a
futuristic version of the classic model 1887. the fire rate was low but the damage was high there
was even an option to dual-wield them making the perfect evolution of the classic modern warfare
2 and kimbo models damage through the roof range super forgiving and the animations well
they were really cool so while you may have hated infinite warfare and you may not even know that
this gun existed it was a great call callback to the classic kimbo models i think it's one of the
best gun remakes in cod history and i know you're going to be upset about it but it is what it is
if you want to dislike the video i get it but youtube doesn't show them anymore so
nobody will ever know there you have it my friends we ranked every single akimbo
shotgun set in cod history let me know what ranking video you'd like to see next and i'll see
my shoes
