The Gremlin Akimbo is built for players who would rather take control of a fight than wait for one to develop. Running the weapon in an aggressive configuration gives it the kind of close-range presence that can punish enemies before they have time to settle into their aim, particularly inside buildings, around staircases, and during hectic squad pushes. This setup leans into that identity without turning the weapon into a one-dimensional gimmick. The combination of improved handling, a larger ammunition supply, and supporting accuracy attachments makes the Gremlin Akimbo far easier to trust when a fight lasts longer than the first burst.
What stands out about this configuration is how well it fits an assertive Warzone playstyle. It is not designed for trading shots across rooftops or challenging assault rifles across a street. Instead, it rewards players who use cover to shorten the distance, force opponents into uncomfortable angles, and stay mobile once the shooting starts. In Resurgence especially, where fights frequently spill from one room into another, that ability to keep pressure on a damaged squad can be extremely valuable.
This Gremlin Akimbo setup is focused on making the weapon more dependable during sustained close-range engagements while preserving the speed and aggression that make an Akimbo configuration appealing.

The strength of this build comes from the way its attachments support the Gremlin's close-quarters behavior rather than trying to force it into a role it does not naturally occupy. The 10" Empirical Barrel and Hawker Hybrid .45 give the weapon a stronger foundation when firing rapidly, helping the setup feel less erratic once an enemy starts strafing or changing direction. That matters with an Akimbo weapon because conventional precision aiming is not the priority; consistency across the entire burst becomes much more valuable.
The Convergence Box Laser reinforces that philosophy. A dual-wield setup lives or dies by how reliably its shots remain concentrated around the target, especially when both players are moving. Any improvement to firing behavior and practical accuracy becomes noticeable when you are trying to finish a cracked opponent before they disappear through a doorway. Combined with the barrel and muzzle, the laser helps make the Gremlin less dependent on point-blank engagements and gives you a little more confidence when the enemy is several steps farther away than expected.
Then there is the Rhapsody Stock, which complements the aggressive handling of the weapon. With a build like this, I value movement and the ability to adjust position during a fight more than traditional long-range stability. Warzone interiors rarely give you a perfectly clean duel: somebody jumps around a corner, another player slides behind furniture, or a second squad enters halfway through the engagement. A setup that remains comfortable while moving is much more useful than one optimized exclusively for stationary accuracy.
The Procural Extended Mag may be the attachment that changes the practical feel of the loadout the most. Akimbo weapons can burn ammunition alarmingly quickly, and having to reload after every individual target destroys momentum. Extra capacity gives you room to finish one opponent, immediately swing onto a teammate, and still have enough ammunition to defend yourself while moving back into cover. The full attachment package therefore favors sustained pressure rather than a single spectacular elimination.
I would treat this Gremlin Akimbo build as a weapon for controlling the last few meters of an engagement. If I see someone crossing an exposed road 30 or 40 meters away, I am not interested in forcing the Gremlins to solve that problem. I would use my primary weapon, deal whatever damage I can, and then look for a route that lets me arrive close enough for the Akimbo setup to take over.
Buildings are where the decision-making gets more interesting. Imagine cracking a player upstairs while their teammate is holding the hallway. Chasing immediately can be tempting, but sprinting directly through the same doorway is exactly how an aggressive build gets wasted. I would briefly reset the angle, approach from the stairs or another entrance if possible, and bring the Gremlins out only when I am ready to commit. Once the distance collapses, hesitation becomes more dangerous than aggression.
The extended magazine also changes how I would handle squad fights. I would not automatically reload after the first down if I still have enough rounds to threaten the next opponent. That tiny habit matters in Resurgence, where another enemy can appear almost instantly after you win the first duel. Get the down, move a few meters, check the next angle, and reload when cover actually gives you permission to do it.
Against a player who is strafing aggressively at close range, I would resist the urge to make huge corrections. An Akimbo build works better when you keep your movement controlled and maintain the opponent near the center of your firing area rather than trying to trace every tiny direction change. If somebody starts creating too much separation, that is usually my signal to stop chasing with the Gremlins and switch weapons.
Battle Royale requires slightly more discipline. A bad push costs much more when redeployment is limited, so I would save this setup for building clears, final-circle cover fights, and situations where terrain naturally compresses the engagement distance. Crossing an open hillside with Akimbo pistols ready is asking to be punished by anyone holding an assault rifle or LMG.
One habit I particularly like with this kind of loadout is entering a room already thinking about the exit. The Gremlin can encourage tunnel vision because its close-range pressure feels so immediate. After a down, I would rather slide back behind the wall and force the second enemy to enter my space than chase the first body deeper into an unknown room. That small difference in positioning wins more fights than squeezing out another meter of effective range ever will.
The Gremlin Akimbo becomes much more convincing when its loadout is built around sustained close-range pressure instead of raw novelty. The Convergence Box Laser, 10" Empirical Barrel, Rhapsody Stock, Procural Extended Mag, and Hawker Hybrid .45 create a setup that can stay mobile, keep firing through messy engagements, and punish opponents who allow the distance to collapse.
It still demands sensible positioning, and it should never be mistaken for an all-range solution. Pair it with a dependable mid-to-long-range primary, choose your pushes carefully, and the Gremlin Akimbo can become a particularly dangerous finishing weapon for players who like taking fights into buildings rather than watching them from across the street.
