Overview

Dual Pistols is a primary power set for Blasters and Corruptors, and a secondary power set for Defenders. This premium power set is available for 800 Paragon Points on the Paragon Market for Free and Premium Players, or free for VIP Players while subscribed. It is also available through the Going Rogue expansion.

"You're a master of akimbo pistols, wielding a high caliber firearm in each hand. Your attacks primarily deal lethal damage and you have a wide variety of attacks, however your strength lies within your ability to use your "Swap Ammo" power to change out your ammo mid-battle. Doing so can change your secondary damage type and effects making you an incredibly versatile ranged combatant."

+=== [[File:DualPistols SwapAmmo.png]] Swap Ammo ===
+By purchasing this power, you will be granted the Cryo Ammunition, Incendiary Ammunition and Chemical Ammunition toggles. Activating these toggles will change your secondary damage type on most Dual Pistols attacks from lethal (Standard Rounds) to cold (Cryo Rounds), fire (Incendiary Rounds) or toxic (Chemical Rounds). These toggles are mutually exclusive and only one can be active at a time. If no Swap Ammo toggles are active, the player will revert to Standard Ammunition. Different ammo types also have different secondary effects. Examine your Dual Pistols powers for more information.
