Cyberpunk 2077 Mod Unlocks Dual Wield Shotguns & Rifles [Update]

Cyberpunk 2077 modders have officially expanded the game's newly released Edgerunners pistol dual-wielding feature to support heavy shotguns, high-caliber sniper rifles, and automatic assault rifles, granting PC mercenaries limitless twin-firepower combinations throughout Night City combat encounters. According to verified reports from Rock Paper Shotgun, community creators reverse-engineered the core mechanics introduced in the recent title update within days of launch. While CD Projekt Red originally intended dual wielding as an exclusive mechanic for handguns, modders dismantled animation constraints to allow simultaneous firing of heavy primary firearms. Players can now equip two Carnage shotguns, dual smart rifles, or twin tech snipers at the cost of slight animation jank and chaotic visual recoil. This rapid community adaptation highlights CD Projekt Red’s deep relationship with grassroots creators, a connection echoed in [Cyberpunk 2 Quest Design: Half the Team Hired From Modding [Confirmed]](/news/cyberpunk-2-quest-team-modders-223). Mod creator testing confirms that weapon handling remains functional, though the extreme damage scaling trivializes elite enemy encounters. The mod is currently available across community repositories for PC users who want completely unfiltered destruction.
