Krait P68
Currently the top-rated pistol: #1 in multiple pistol rankings and the only B-tier pistol on Dexerto.
Overview
Buffed in Season 1: max damage range 8.89m to 9.4m, mid range 20.32m to 21.08m, lower torso multiplier 1 to 1.1. Nintendo Life names it the go-to sidearm across most of its recommended primary builds. Apex Krait P68 Commando adds an icepick-grip knife with quicker melee, longer lunge and recoil stabilization, and blocks no slots.
Strengths
- Fastest 0-10m MP TTK among the pistols in CODMunity's build data (195ms with its top build).
- Commando apex brings back a quick panic knife and improves recoil with no real downside.
- Season 1 buff extended its damage ranges.
Weaknesses
- Slow base fire rate limits its offense; the P68 Tapper 9 trigger is used to offset it.
- Hard to use well (very low EaseScore on CODMunity).

Top tracked MP build; Tapper trigger fixes the slow fire rate, giving the fastest close-range TTK of the pistols.

Source notes
Top-level velocity/adsMs/sprintToFireMs are Warzone base values (CODMunity weapon page and GGRanked Warzone page agree exactly). Class: pistol (official patch notes, Dexerto, GGRanked, mw4field) - matches our list. No Games Atlas page found. rpm 261 (GGRanked, CODMunity; mw4field 260). Magazine 10 (GGRanked, CODMunity, mw4field); reload 2967 (GGRanked, CODMunity). Head multiplier is CODMunity's stats-table value (table is labelled Warzone, but for this class it matches the GGRanked MP head/body ratio, not Warzone's). MP profile fully matches the official Season 1 patch notes: 46 to 9.4 m (8.89 -> 9.4 m), 39 to 21.08 m (20.32 -> 21.08 m), 34 to 37.08 m, minimum 30; Season 1 also raised the lower-torso multiplier 1 -> 1.1. GGRanked agrees on all damages (0-9 / 10-21 / 22-37 / 38+ m); Dexerto and CODMunity patch history list the same changes. GGRanked MP body-part damage: head 59, neck/upper torso/lower torso 50, arms/legs 46. GGRanked Warzone body-part damage: head 84, neck/upper torso/arms 63, lower torso/legs 50 (do not line up with the 42 max range damage; shown as given). Not in CODMunity's MW4 TTK ranking. MP handling (GGRanked): velocity 250 m/s, ADS 180 ms, sprint-to-fire 80 ms. DMZ page damage values are identical to the Warzone page, but it shows MP velocity/ADS (250 m/s, 180 ms). Warzone profile is GGRanked only (low). DMZ profile is from GGRanked's DMZ page only; the page does not show which mode tab its stats block reflects, so treat as unconfirmed DMZ data. DMZ profile health is null: base health 150 is sourced (DMZ Codex) but armor per plate is not.
