I love seeing the new game play trailers for Fallout 4, but it concerns me that we haven't seen any evidence of dual wielding existing in the game...

Who wouldn't love tearing apart raiders using two machetes, the combinations would be endless, especially with all of the weapon modifications in the game.

I would love to see this feature implemented in the game, sure the modding community could always give us dual wielding if the developers won't..


What are your thoughts, and what other features do you want to see implemented in Fallout 4?

There are already Fallout 4 discussion threads (just search next time ) but i don't think Bethesda is going to do dual wielding, which I thought they would've atleast done melee with the left and right hand system present in Skyrim (and maybe other elder scrolls games, i wouldnt know, havent played them)

Omg Ive never even thought about duel weilding in fallout great idea Itry

@gav07Gaming I agree with you but i say only 9MM, 10MM and 12.7MM Pistols only i mean like this isn't Wolfenstein, where you will see dual wielding Combat Shotguns, that would break the game . Load it up with Dragon Breath rounds and you can tear people apart.

I wouldn't mind having a handgun in one hand and a melee weapon in the other, but using two guns at the same time is ridiculous and impractical. You can't aim anywhere near as well as you could with one gun, and reloads take a great deal longer.

@VeteranAlpha96 I dont think there should be dual wielding guns at all because it just seems two hard/unrealistic to reload at a fast manner

but if they were to implement dual wielding weapons i would say the three you picked would be the ones to do implement the system on

I don't even know if the engine can handle two guns, but maybe dual melee weapons like in Skyrim.

I don't know, possibly. Since they are looking at new ideas they try to see which ones are possible and ones that are not. I think it can be done since their using a new engine.

The dual wielding would be cool but i hope they don't do it like skyrim where you have to have the left hand out when fighting or vise versa when you have only one weapon.

Wow heck yes. I've always wanted dual wielding weapons. Like pistols or knives. Such a great idea that is missing from the games that should come into effect in the future. Bethesda definitely listening to fans as a lot of features in Fallout 4's lore is an example of that. Great idea nonetheless though.

I seriously doubt it, however, since Fallout 4 is running off a modified version of the creation engine, there might be a mod for it in the future. Until then, don't bet on it.

I'd crap myself in joy if they did it. But if they had done dual-wielding I'd imagine that'd be one of the things they focus on in the trailer. So it would be nice,but I don't see it happening in vanilla. But hey maybe someone will mod it in.

By this logic, if the main focus was on the primary things of FO4..
1. I hate that we are forced to play as a guy/girl with family, that's why I will use alternative start mods.
2. Not a fan of that dog, will remove it from the game.
3. Won't use Power Armor.
...What am I left with? Building homes?

Just kidding. Of course I will just walk around and shoot things, while doing quests (Todd? Todd, will there be good and interesting quests, Todd?)

I would have a handgun in one hand and a flashlight in the other since the pipboy doesn't really help.

I do wish that FO4 has dual wield too. And being a lefty I wish there will also be an option to wield weapons using the left hand mainly and not as an off hand option.

My wish throughout all of the games I have played from fable to kotor to fallout I have always wanted to hold a sword in one hand a pistol in the other. A good lash kick and blast their dead

Have you played Dishonored? @me444

i don't think Fallout 4 will have dual wielding. there's only two first player games i know have dual wielding are: Dishonored and Wolfenstein

Dual wielding would probably be an addition to fallout 4, because of the new engine and all.... but I wont be surprised if not

I don't think so pal , but have various other amazing things *like the new deathclaw fatality animation*
