B.J. Blazkowicz

Dual Wield:

BJ calls for back-up and answers his own call. Double fisting weapons, BJ takes turns firing them in rapid succession to lay down some heavy fire, but he will also burn through some serious ammo to do so.

Active Ability Tips:

• Fire Rate Increase: x1.33
• Fire Rate Increase with Rocket Launcher and Tribolt: x1.5
• Duration: 5.4 seconds
• Cool Down: 45 seconds
• Initial Fire Delay: 400 milliseconds

Thanks to his time spent as a dual-wielding badass in the waking realm, BJ is able to effectively dual-wield any weapons in the game, making him twice as deadly when his active ability is triggered.

Nearly doubling his damage output, Duel Wield can have exceptional kill potential if used at the right time and with the right weapons. Duel wield Tribolt or Rocket Launcher can create an almost impenetrable wall of spam while Super Nailgun or, better yet, Lightning Gun can absolutely melt enemies at close range. If switching weapons while the ability is active, B.J. will duel wield whatever weapon is selected.

Though the animation of the ability shows B.J. holding two weapons, the way the ability really works is by giving a 1.33x boost to weapon firing speed. Because of the fire rate increase, the cycle time (the delay after firing a weapon where you cannot fire or switch again) of the weapon in use also decreases, allowing for fast switching of weapons for different situations.

If activated after immediately firing the Rocket Launcher, Tribolt, or Railgun, you will still have to wait for the weapon to reload before being able to utilize the duel wield’s boosted firing speed. It is recommended to preemptively activate Duel Wield for those weapons before firing.

Keep in mind B.J. becomes wider while dual wielding due animation and it makes him a little bit easier to hit.
