You really don't understand how this game works, do you? The guy calling you 'moron' is being a cunt, but he's by no means 'stupid'.

You NEED more then one sidearm. It's not a matter of choice. Of course, you can choose to be bad at the game, but from what I've seen people enjoy a game when they're good at it - and here that means getting the right weapon/frame for the job and then improving it with potato's and formas. You'll end up with MANY weapons (and frames) this way, hence the need for quite a lot of slots.

If you don't have a suitably large collection of weapons, you are demonstrably weak. Often people don't like those that are bad at whatever they think themselves good at - hence the one above you calling you 'moron' over something that he really shouldn't care about, but he does because he's probably spent MANY hours of his life getting good at this, and you didn't, so you're beneath him in his eyes and that brings out the asshole in him. If you've spent any time online this should come as no shock to you.

Yes, you need two slots to actually build any dual/akimbo secondary. You'll need to have BOTH single-variant of the weapon in your inventory in order to craft the dual/akimbo, you can't just have it built but unclaimed in your foundry - not how it works. Thankfully, at leas the dual/akimbo version only takes up one weapons slot once crafted.

The point of limited slots is that eventually EVERYONE that wants to play the game for a long time NEEDS to get platinum. Warframe is free as long as you're not at the slot-paywall. Once you're there, you either fork out irl money, or sell a high-rank maxed mod/rare event mod to progress with your arsenal (good luck with that, considering the competition on the market). Or you can stop playing I suppose, but that's unlikely since you've already invested quite a fair chunk of time in the game. That's pretty much how it goes.

The more you play WF, the more slots you'll need since the devs keep adding weapons/frames. Platinum's pretty cheap though if you get a 50-75% discount voucher (note: only good for one purchase, expires in 48h) as a login reward (note: first tier of rewards gives best chances for platinum discounts). The login rewards are random, but again, the 3-day rewards have a good chance of giving out a platinum voucher.

I do hope you enjoy the game though. It may be mired in places by flawed/outdated marketing practices, flavor-of-the-month stats and some frustrating bugs; but it's a great game overall and well worth your time if you like it's gameplay, esthetics and it's unique moding aspect.
