OK everyone hate to sound like an ass but this is what we know for sure as it's from Bungie....
Q How does dual wielding work?
A Currently, to dual wield, you simply approach a second weapon that is lying on the ground. You'll see the standard "press X to swap weapons" message appear in your HUD. However, if it's a one handed weapon, you will also see "Press and hold 'Y' to dual wield". If you do that, you will pick up the gun in your left hand. R-trigger fires the right weapon, L-trigger the left. You can't melee attack or throw grenades while dual wielding. You can stop dual wielding at any time by pressing melee attack (discards extra weapon) or by pressing Y to switch to your secondary weapon.
OK... so what can we derive from this boys and girls. "You can stop duel wielding at any time by pressing Y to switch to your secondary weapon."
a) You can definately hold three weapons at a time then.
b) It seems you maintain the duel wield as one weapon slot otherwise it would say "(discards extra weapon)" as it does about melee attacking with duel wield.
Thank you. The FAQs surprisingly do answer the FAQs try reading them people.
