DimensionMW4.GG valueWeightWhat it means in a match
Damage 95 35% 95 is the class comparison set is still small. It can change how many accurate hits are needed, but hit zones, damage ranges and TTK are not published here.
Fire Rate Not published No public value is available, so this dimension is excluded from the current performance score.
Range 5 20% 5 is the class comparison set is still small on MW4.GG's relative scale. It favors close engagements and deliberate distance closing; it is not a published meter value.
Accuracy 100 15% 100 is the class comparison set is still small. It should make sustained target tracking more or less forgiving, but it is not a direct hit-rate or recoil percentage.
Mobility 95 15% 95 is the class comparison set is still small. For this weapon class, that mainly changes how safely you can rotate, enter a fight, or escape after a missed challenge.
Handling 90 15% 90 is the class comparison set is still small. Expect the difference in the overall readiness and control feel of the weapon, not one isolated ADS measurement.
Rounds Not published No public value is available, so this dimension is excluded from the current performance score.
Reserve Not published No public value is available, so this dimension is excluded from the current performance score.

Data notes

MW4.GG values come from the Early Access API snapshot checked 2026-08-23. Damage, Range, Accuracy, Mobility and Handling are MW4.GG relative indicators; MW4.GG does not publish their calculation formulas or direct distance units. Fire Rate is rounds per minute. Rounds and Reserve describe ammunition capacity. Missing public values are excluded from the performance calculation.

Final score = category-weighted MW4.GG dimensions plus a community signal worth up to 20%. The community weight grows with votes and is capped at six votes. Missing dimensions stay unscored; this is our transparent editorial model, not an Activision rating.

Official role evidence: The official weapon description is used only to establish its intended role; the numeric score remains the transparent editorial model above.

Match role and first decision

Judge Combat Knife inside the Melee role before comparing it with another class. Start with its intended engagement distance, then check whether its fire rhythm, reload exposure and movement fit your mode.

UnlockStartPlan when the weapon becomes available; unlock level does not measure strength.

Practical test checklist

  1. Use the same distance, attachments and target behavior when comparing weapons.
  2. Record hit consistency, reload exposure and movement instead of judging one number alone.
  3. Repeat the test after a map, mode or balance patch changes the conditions.

Compare within the same class

Open the Melee overview to compare Combat Knife with its direct peers. A weapon can win a long lane and still be the wrong choice for an objective entry.

Limits and sources

The public snapshot does not provide complete hit-zone multipliers, distance curves, recoil plots, attachment effects or final-launch balance. Missing values remain unknown rather than being estimated.
