Warzone devs finally resolve 9mm Daemon akimbo glitch
Activision Warzone suffered from a glitch that prevented players from equipping the akimbo attachment on the 9mm Daemon. After weeks of waiting, the devs finally addressed the issue.
Akimbo pistols briefly took over Warzone’s meta in Season 1, but a nerf knocked them back out of relevance. Ashika Island and Vondel brought sidearms back into the spotlight thanks to their layout. Both Resurgence maps feature large waterways, and as is well documented, only pistols can fire underwater.
Players have leaned toward using the FTAC Siege for water combat, but the Warzone devs shook up the meta by introducing a new pistol in Season 5 Reloaded. Infinity Ward revealed that the 9mm Daemon “features best-in-class semi-automatic fire rate.” The pistol performs closely to the P890 and X12 with a slower fire rate but harder-hitting damage.
The 9mm Daemon has yet to really make a splash, as the devs may have originally intended, but that is all about to change.
Surprise update fixes 9mm Daemon glitch
Previously, even if a player reached the required to unlock the 9mm Daemon akimbo attachment, a bug kept it locked.
Fortuntaley, on September 8, the Warzone devs announced: “We’ve released an update that fixes an issue where Akimbo was not unlocking on the 9mm Daemon for Players who had met the unlock requirements.”
Community members celebrated the announcement but also questioned why it took so long to fix.
A Lara Croft operator bundle comes out on September 9, and some players believe that the devs only fixed the bug because she uses akimbo pistols.
Adding fuel to the fire of that claim, one user responded: “The day before Lara Croft, y’all had to get it fixed.”
Other players added: “Took you long enough,” and “it was about time.”
After the update, it remains to be seen if the pistol will be a close-range meta weapon. But if you need a class, make sure to check our best 9mm Daemon Warzone loadout.
