  "account": "In Cyberpunk 2077, the Edgerunners 2.5 patch allows players to dual wield certain weapons, but the feature is currently limited to revolvers and pistols from the power category. To unlock this ability, players must first acquire the Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree. This perk is accompanied by four subsidiary perks that improve dual-wielding proficiency.\n\nIt is important to note that dual-wielded iconic weapons will retain their abilities and effects. While dual wielding two weapons will make them weaker, this drawback is somewhat mitigated by the Double Trouble's subsidiary perks. Regardless, combining iconic power pistols and revolvers in a dual-wield setup provides a significant advantage in terms of combining effects and running and gunning through Night City's mean streets of 2026.",
