From the very beginning of it, Starfield became quite an acquaintance to the term struggle. And it’s still struggling to capture the appreciation from the fans. All it receives are complaints about bugs that bug the fans or suggestions for developers to bring some improvements to the table.

Suggestions can come in the form of inspiration from other games, though those games themselves are struggling, but that’s a story for another time. Fans want the dual-wield feature from popular military shooter Call of Duty to be a part of Bethesda’s game.

That Will Bring Total Chaos on The Planets in The Game

Imagine running around in Starfield‘s space and coming across enemies, but one isn’t really in a mood for stealth kills. A user wants to go full throttle, wreaking havoc and leaving the chaos behind. That could be them, but they don’t have the option to dual-wield weapons like in Call of Duty.

Fans certainly missed that, even though it was never there. In a conversation on social network Reddit, a user slipped a suggestion that there must be an option for that.

One fan wasn’t sure why the feature would be a plus to the game, taking into account Fallout 4 alongside. To this end, another one took the liberty to explain why it would matter.

Another one agrees to it but has a point. If developers decide to do that, it will take time to implement it in the gameplay.

Users are really inclined to see certain mechanics in the game, like NPCs not being afraid of guns. Adding this one could do the trick and make the Starfield NPCs scared to hell, of course, if developers want them to.

Starfield Certainly Won’t Have The Gun Abusers’ Issue

Maybe the users in the Bethesda game will get to wield a couple of weapons and wreak havoc on planets. That will have fans cheering for one thing: users won’t be able to abuse the akimbo like it has been witnessed in Call of Duty multiplayer and battle royale modes too.

It could bring the fans out of the negative sentiments they have shown for the game in the past. They keep coming, even today. The game’s official Steam page shows recent reviews of the game have been ‘mostly negative’.

As for now, hope for the game dangles in the upcoming DLC dubbed Shattered Space. It is said to be a complete 180 from everything the base game is. Let’s just hope its true.

Do you think dual-wielding weapons could help improve the gameplay? We would like to know more about it in the comments section below.
