The Combat Pistol should regularly spawn in each match like any other weapon with multiple rarities. According to leaker HYPEX, you can find it in Chests, Floor Loot and after eliminating a Sideways Caretaker. Unlike previously released Exotic weapons and items like the Icy Grappler, the Combat Pistol should be a breeze to find.
