Note that this guide is a work in progress and will be updated in the coming days as more info is acquired.
By default, the Basilisk carries the following rounds when you spawn:
The Basilisk is unlocked at Level 39. You can check out how to level up fast to get it using this guide.
The builds here are suggestions and may or may not work with the playstyle that you currently use.
Similar to the .50 GS, the Basilisk can be used as a mid-range gun to cleanly defeat foes from a distance. This build focuses on increasing the Basilisk’s effective range by extending its barrel and by also keeping it steady on the target.
Similar to other Akimbo Pistols, the two Basilisks can be used to deliver twice the damage at the cost of accuracy. Use this build if you want to instantly deal large damage in a second. As with other Akimbo pistols, this setup is nigh impossible to use in mid to long-range fights.
