Will the akimbo ability will become exclusive to the GS after its released? Or it will stay for every class as it is now?

No other weapon has been restricted to a single perk, so I imagine that dualies will be the same. They will just all be Gunslinger weapons (with the possible exception of dual 9mm) the same way shotguns are Support, etc.

No I mean not the weapon but the ability to use akimbo pistols. I mean not everyone is capable of doing such shooting and to me it seems logical only the GS to be able to shoot 2 pistols at once accurately.

Awesome news, thanks for letting us know - I can't wait to try out the perk. Also, is it safe for me to assume that the extra 64 achievements that appeared due to the testing aren't just related to the next update? 64 achievements is a lot to have if the update is solely for the new perk, so is there something that you're hiding TW? :p

I know this was already speculated before, but if they aren't map related achievements then they could be perk/weapon ones.

Well currently the dual 9mm is a weapon that anyone can use without needing a skill to use it. I imagine Gunslinger weapons will be the same, anyone can take 1 or 2 of any Gunslinger weapon, they just won't use them as effectively because they don't have skills to increase firing speed or accuracy or whatever.

Yes but I thought the akimbo is available to anyone atm just so that everyone can try it without the GS perk being in the game.

It would be awesome to see some videos from the testing of new features...

I think there will be, they teased the demo weapons and the microwave gun in past WWAUT posts.
I know, i know. They were teasing us with screenshots and few secs video (microwave teaser had 7sec, gore prewiev 1 minute, and whole I&D introduction had... how much? 3minutes... as a part of some conference), but i would appreciate something more...
Before I&D pack was released, some 40 minutes gameplay leaked on YT, showing both perks, maps, all weapons and gameplay.
Such video from developement/alpha gameplay would be awesome...

Considering that this WWAUT was released on Friday, could we perhaps expect something like weekly updates every Friday or so?

When WWAUT was first started, TWI state that they would like to have them every two weeks (but they never promised). So far they have kept up with that goal, and even had them weekly in the month or two leading up to the latest update. My guess is they'll do something similar for the gunslinger update, but that's just speculation.
 
Though its not the perk I was wanting to see (not that any other perk additions have been counted out) I still think this will be a fun class to play as. Plus any new addition to content is welcomed by me. Keep up the good work TWI. Oh and one or two extra weapons (off-perk or just a per we don't have yet) included to the next update would be appreciated.

An electric off perk weapon would be cool to see what it is like before the actual electric weapons perk release comes out.

Kinda like how the flamethrower was a off perk before the firebug was implemented into the game.

Maybe it can be something as simple like a taser or whatever the T1 weapon will be.
