Strategy
- Dual Pistols are considered a major step-up over the Pistol, as a single shot on the body is able to take almost half of a target's health, with two headshots able to take out all the shield and half the health of an enemy (when both are full).
- Dual Pistols are considered as 2-bullet burst weapons, so it is advisable to take some time to aim at the target as one would do with the Burst Assault Rifle.

- The Suppressed Pistol is also based on the same type of pistol (FNX Series), except its attachments and camouflage differ from the unmodified nature and two-tone coloring of the Dual Pistols.
- Although The Dual Pistols and Suppressed Pistols are both modeled after the same gun, they use different bullets and have different magazine sizes. The Suppressed Pistol is based on a 9mm version while the Dual Pistols are based on .45mm.
