Each Unit (“Unit”)
consists of one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Western Acquisition Ventures Corp.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”) to purchase
one-half (1/2) share of Common Stock for $11.50 per whole share (subject to adjustment). Each Warrant will become exercisable thirty (30)
days after the Company’s completion of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other
similar business combination with one or more businesses (each a “Business Combination”) and will expire unless exercised
before 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company completes its initial Business
Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (the “Expiration Date”). The Common Stock and Warrants comprising the
Units represented by this certificate are not transferable separately prior to [__], 2021, unless Western Acquisition Ventures Sponsor,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, elects to allow separate trading earlier, subject to the Company’s filing of a Current
Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s receipt
of the gross proceeds of its initial public offering and issuing a press release announcing when separate trading will begin. No fractional
warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units. As a result, Warrants must be exercised in multiples of two Warrants. The terms
of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of [__], 2021, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as Warrant Agent, and are subject to the terms and provisions contained therein, all of which terms and provisions the holder
of this certificate consents to by acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the office of the Warrant Agent at
6201 15th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11219, and are available to any Warrant holder on written request and without cost.


 


Upon the consummation of
the Business Combination, the Units represented by this certificate will automatically separate into shares of Common Stock and Warrants
comprising such Units.


 


This certificate is not valid
unless countersigned by the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the Company.


 


This certificate shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.


 


Witness the facsimile signature of its duly authorized
officers.
