A fresh set of Modern Warfare 3 weekly challenges is live now, and one of them requires you to get 20 Akimbo kills. However, the term ‘Akimbo Kills’ is unclear to many, so I’ve put together this guide to help you complete this Modern Warfare 3 challenge.
How to get operator Akimbo kills
An elimination will be counted as an Akimbo kill when you take down an opponent with a gun that is compatible with Akimbo Rear Grip attachments, such as Akimbo .50 GS, Akimbo Basilisk, and Akimbo P890.
Akimbo lets you use two secondary weapons at the same time while hip-firing in the game. This doubles your firepower and is perfect for players who prefer close-range combats. However, you will need to unlock these attachments first before using them in Modern Warfare 3. Here is the list of all the weapons that can be used with Akimbo attachments, along with instructions to unlock them:
| Attachments | Unlock Condition |
|---|---|
| Akimbo P890 | Get the P890 to Level 26 |
| Akimbo .50 GS/GS Magna | Get the GS Magna to Level 9 |
| Akimbo X12/X13 | Get the X12 to Level 19 |
| Akimbo FTAC Siege | Unlocked by getting 25 hip-fire kills with FTAC Siege |
| Akimbo 9mm Daemon | Get the 9mm Daemon to Level 16 |
| Akimbo WSP Stinger | Get the WSP Stinger to Level 14 |
| Akimbo Renetti | Get the Renetti to Level 21 |
| Akimbo COR-45 | Get the COR-45 to Level 21 |
Once your loadout is ready, head to any Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer mode and get 20 Akimbo kills to complete the challenge. After completing the core objective, you’ll receive 50,000 XP for your efforts.
Please note: You can’t aim down sights with Akimbo Weapons, so you have to hipfire them.
Best Akimbo Renetti loadout
Here’s my recommendation for the best Akimbo Renetti class setup:
- Muzzle: HMRES Mod Suppress
- Magazine: 30 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: Akimbo Renetti
- Laser: XTEN Sidearm L-400
- Trigger Action: Bruen Express
