Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: Every Confirmed Weapon and Unlock

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols include Karit P68, .50 GS, Sang 9mm in the official beta roster, giving the class a clear starting point before the full 33 weapon launch pool arrives. The class is built around emergency backup fights, but the individual guns differ enough in unlock route, handling and Apex rewards that there is no useful one size fits all ranking yet.

The best way to compare the pistols is to start with draw speed, handling and a role that complements the primary. A weapon that already feels comfortable in those jobs is a better first levelling target than one that needs several attachments just to stop fighting its own class.

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: Quick Comparison

Weapon	Beta unlock	Levels	Apex
Karit P68	Immediately	34	Karit P68 Commando
.50 GS	Player Rank 23	50	GS Magna
Sang 9mm	Default Loadout only	34	Sang 9&12

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: Karit P68

Karit P68 is a semi-automatic .45 ACP sidearm with straightforward close-range effectiveness. It used Immediately as its beta access route and had 34 weapon levels. Its Apex Attachment is Karit P68 Commando, which icepick-grip CQB knife setup that improves melee damage and lunge while supporting recoil control. That combination gives the Karit P68 a different reason to level than the other weapons in the same class.

.50 GS

.50 GS is a hard-hitting .50 calibre pistol that rewards controlling its recoil. It used Player Rank 23 as its beta access route and had 50 weapon levels. Its Apex Attachment is GS Magna, which fully automatic conversion with very high firepower and intentionally poor accuracy. That combination gives the .50 GS a different reason to level than the other weapons in the same class.

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: Sang 9mm

Sang 9mm is a lightweight 9x19mm service pistol focused on quick cycling and easy handling. It used Default Loadout only as its beta access route and had 34 weapon levels. Its Apex Attachment is Sang 9&12, which underbarrel single-shot 12-gauge chamber for emergency close-range stopping power. That combination gives the Sang 9mm a different reason to level than the other weapons in the same class.

How to Choose Between the Pistols

Choose between the pistols by starting with the range and pace you actually enjoy. If two weapons both cover emergency backup fights, compare their unlock rank, base handling and final Apex reward. The best first grind is usually the one that feels useful early and still has an end of progression reward you care about.

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: How to Test the Class

Take the pistols into the Firing Range with simple builds first. Compare recoil, handling and follow up shots before adding several attachments. Once one weapon clearly feels better for draw speed, handling and a role that complements the primary, use Gunsmith to refine it instead of trying to make every gun in the class behave the same way.

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: What Can Change Before Launch

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols will not have a settled launch order until Infinity Ward’s retail tuning and the full 33 weapon roster are live. The names, class roles and announced Apex concepts are worth learning now. The day one tier list can wait until there is an actual day one build to compare.

What Pistols Are Best At

Pistols are strongest in emergency backup fights. The class should feel comfortable when the match keeps producing those fights, and awkward when it does not. Use draw speed, handling and a role that complements the primary as the first comparison between Karit P68, .50 GS, Sang 9mm, then let the individual unlock route and Apex reward break the tie.

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: Where Pistols Struggle

Every class gives something up. With Pistols, the weakness may be movement, reach, precision, reload speed or flexibility depending on the weapon. Do not spend every attachment slot trying to remove that weakness completely. A second custom class is often a cleaner answer when the map demands a job this class was never designed to do.

Attachment Priorities for Pistols

Test the base weapon before deciding what the class needs. One Pistol may want recoil help while another already stays on target and benefits more from faster handling. The detailed Gunsmith stats are useful, but the Firing Range tells you whether the trade still feels good when you actually aim and fire.

Modern Warfare 4 Pistols: Using Pistols Across Different Modes

Objective rules change the value of the class. Pistols can feel excellent when the mode funnels players into their preferred range and much weaker when the objective sits across an open lane. Keep the mode in mind when comparing weapons, because a gun can be strong in the right job without being the best choice for every playlist.
