Attack From A Distance
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.
Clean Shooter
- Barrel – 6.75″ Corvus Cougar 500
- Laser – Revo-LSD 7mW
- Trigger Action – Bryson HTA
- Rear Grip – Akimbo Basilisk
Two-Shots, One Kill
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.
