Tips[edit | edit source]
- A Stunning Speed mod synergizes well with this weapon, reducing its long reload and increasing its high status chance further (although not by much).
- Steady Hands makes the Aklex's high recoil much easier to control and allow for more accurate shots on the target in a shorter span of time without having to readjust after shots as often.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Despite the description of the Aklex saying that its reload time suffers, its actual reload time is quite efficient, spanning a mere 1.27 times its original reload duration, as most akimbo pistols have twice the reload time.
- Despite the accuracy mentioned in its statistics is poor, its actual accuracy is quite impressive, even when against long-ranged targets, leaving only the recoil to be held responsible for this.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Aklex and its Prime and singular variants share similar weapon sounds to the Hammer 1895, a revolver featured in Dark Sector.
