How to: dual wielding machineguns

Post by @m »

On some screens or in some trailers you might have seen that the Green Beret can dual wield machine guns. This is also featured in the demo it just took a small bit of trying to find out!

Firstly it isn't possible in the demo to dual wield the machine gun you start with (there doesn't seem to be another one), the germans use their trusty mp40 so you'll need to pick those up. To do this first kill a soldier with a mp40 then run to him and press F to pick it up. You'll loose one of your other guns though. I'm sure there's a way to decide which one but by lack of a manual I don't know. Ok so now you have one mp40 but you'll need another one so when you see another dead soldier with an mp40 walk over it and you'll pick it up.

After you've done that you'll have two mp40's in your inventory you'll just need to activate them. You'll need to use the é key (might be different on your keyboard it is under controls, other, next item) to switch from you're grenade to the icon you see below. (don't mind the bad performance I was concentrating on dual wielding guns rather than playing well) After you see the icon that is marked with red on the screen press the left ALT (also default) to activate it.

Thanks go to iakovos, without him I wouldn't even know it was possible to do this in the demo!

I am just adding that on QWERTY keyboards you need to use the [2] key.

And surely I am glad that I made you search this one through, since in the full game this is not mentioned at all in the manual (how to activate it).

Cheers,

A tips appears for this in the original game. First grabe two machineguns. Then [2] to select the double machinegun. Then "left alt" to activate it. :x

They should have included this in the manual... as someone might probably not see the second machine gun placed in the hut, thus not knowing that this feature is possible.

So far I have double wielded two allied machine guns, two german machine guns and 2 pistols. I am guessing that the feature is limited there...

Not in mine. :p
It is mentioned that you can double wield two weapons at a time, but it is not mentioned HOW you can do that.
