For the single counterpart, see Poison Dart Handgun.
The Dual Poison Handgun is a poison-based handgun released in the Carnival 2018 Update as a part of the Brazilian Brawler Gear. This weapon does the same damage and has the same range and rate of fire as the Poison Dart Handgun. It sacrifices some agility and accuracy in exchange for a slightly increased clip size
Strategy
Although these weapons do look much less menacing than other dual variants, these are no joke! Trading its accuracy for a large clip count, good damage, fire rate, and a very fast reload speed; overall make this Dual Weapons great against enemies at any range as it has one-shot capabilities no matter how far the target is. Furthermore the damage helps this weapon quickly take down tank mains that would be a threat, and along that line most anti poison gears are of little hope as all previously mentioned pros make these Poison Weapons a powerhouse to compete with.
Unlike most other Dual Weapons and Handguns, these guns can run off on a Run And Gun strategy or settle for a Camping strategy as they are suitable to any range! There is no damage drop off at range and the reload speed helps this weapon compete against some of the best Pellet Weapons in the game. Be careful though as their power is not limitless, users can still be taken down by Heavy Weapons, Bows, and Launchers.
