Overview of Recent Changes to the COR-45 in Call of Duty: Warzone
- The COR-45 handgun has been restricted in Warzone, likely due to its overpowering abilities.
- Glitches associated with particular attachments transformed the COR-45 into an exceptionally fast-firing weapon, akin to an SMG.
- Player sentiment is largely negative, particularly regarding the prioritization of weapon restrictions over ongoing cheating issues in Warzone.
The development team behind Call of Duty: Warzone has recently announced a restriction on the highly favored COR-45 handgun, a decision that has sparked significant discontent among the gaming community. Throughout Season 1, this handgun emerged as a dominant player in the Warzone meta, primarily due to certain attachments and blueprints that enhanced its performance.
The release of Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded on December 5 introduced several new features and events to the games, including the festive Holiday Rush Quads and Slay Ride Resurgence game modes. Players can also collect Jolly Archies for exclusive gear during the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event. Despite these additions, the gameplay experience has been marred by the overpowering presence of the COR-45.
Ongoing Restrictions on the COR-45 Handgun in Warzone

The COR-45’s restriction means it is currently unusable in Warzone, with no definitive timeline for its reinstatement. This measure appears to stem from the weapon’s overpowering capabilities, compounded by issues relating to the Cork and Screw blueprint and the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit. Players discovered that by removing certain attachments and equipping the XRK Tactical Stock, the COR-45 could function effectively as a rapid-firing SMG, providing a swift time-to-kill (TTK) that outmatched many top-tier weapons in the game.
While the decision aims to create a more balanced gaming experience, numerous players on social media have expressed their frustrations. Many are critical of Raven Software for prioritizing this matter over the rampant cheating that continues to plague the game. There are concerns about the developers addressing these issues during the holiday season, with players feeling their voices and experiences are overlooked in favor of weapon balancing.
A similar issue arose back in August 2024, when a glitch permitted players to use the COR-45 alongside the akimbo attachment in conjunction with the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit. This combination yielded one of the fastest TTKs ever seen in Warzone. Following the emergence of this glitch—amplified by social media discussions—a patch was quickly implemented to rectify the problem.
