Call of Duty: Warzone Temporarily Disables the Overpowered COR-45 Handgun
The developers of Call of Duty: Warzone have temporarily disabled the COR-45 handgun due to game-breaking glitches. Exploits involving specific attachments and blueprints transformed the pistol into a high-damage, rapid-fire SMG, significantly disrupting the game's balance.
This decision, announced on December 5th, alongside the launch of Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded and its holiday events (including Holiday Rush Quads and Slay Ride Resurgence), has sparked controversy. Many players are frustrated that addressing the COR-45 glitch seems to take precedence over tackling Warzone's persistent cheating problem. The Archie’s Festival Frenzy event, offering holiday-themed rewards, is overshadowed by this development.

Removing certain attachments and adding the XRK Tactical Stock effectively turned the COR-45 into an overpowered SMG with an exceptionally fast time-to-kill (TTK). This rendered the weapon far too dominant in the current meta. The temporary restriction allows developers time to implement a permanent fix.Call of Duty: Warzone's COR-45 Handgun: A Temporary Ban Sparks Debate
While the ban aims to level the playing field, the move has drawn criticism on Twitter. Players express dissatisfaction with Raven Software's prioritization, citing past issues with the COR-45 and the ongoing, more pressing concern of widespread cheating. Some players also voiced concern about developers working during the holiday season.
A similar glitch affecting the COR-45's XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit occurred in August 2024, allowing players to use the akimbo attachment and Conversion Kit simultaneously, resulting in an incredibly fast TTK. That glitch, which went viral on social media, was swiftly addressed with a patch. The current situation highlights the ongoing challenge of maintaining balance and addressing exploits in Warzone.
