A Bolto equipped in each hand. Twice the clip size and fire rate, but reload time is doubled and accuracy is lowered.
The Akbolto is a dual form of the Bolto. Like other dual weapons they have a doubled magazine capacity and fire-rate whilst having doubled reload time.
See the user build section for builds using this weapon.
Tips
Focused on Puncture damage, therefore effective against armored enemies, like the Grineer and most Corrupted.
For effective use of non-hitscan weapons, it is strongly recommended to learn Leading. In short, Leading means aiming ahead of your target so the projectile still hits him.
Moderate recoil makes fast subsequent shots more difficult to land when fire rate mods are used.
With decently leveled Magnum Force and fully leveled multishot mods such as Barrel Diffusion and Lethal Torrent these pistols visibly fire 2-3 bolts per shot. When used over a longer range this results in the Akbolto having the effective use of "spray and pray" weapons whilst retaining respectable damage out-put and ammo economy.
The bolts spawn as physical objects at the muzzle of the Akbolto.
If an enemy is standing right in front of you, so that the muzzle is inside of it, you will sometimes not be able to hit, because the Akbolto is non-hitscan and pretty long, so the bolts spawn behind the hitbox of that enemy.
Also if taking cover behind a thick object (i.e. door case) you will not be able to shoot anything but the wall in front you, if the muzzle is inside of that object.
The innate polarity can somewhat limit elemental modding potential, thus making it a less desirable polarity for elemental modding. If you wish to focus more on elemental damage, then it is recommended to either ignore the polarity or use Forma to turn it into a more suitable polarity.
