Call of Duty: Warzone nerfs the overpowered COR-45 handgun, sparking player frustration. The popular sidearm, previously dominant due to attachment and blueprint glitches, has been temporarily disabled. This decision, while addressing balance issues, has drawn criticism from players who feel it overshadows the game's ongoing cheating problem.
The Call of Duty: Warzone developers have taken action against the COR-45 handgun, removing it from the game until further notice. This follows the weapon's rise to prominence in Season 1 Reloaded, thanks to exploits involving the Cork and Screw blueprint and the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit. These glitches transformed the COR-45 into an incredibly effective SMG, significantly impacting the game's balance.
Season 1 Reloaded, launched December 5th, introduced new content for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, including holiday events like Holiday Rush Quads and Slay Ride Resurgence, and the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event. However, the COR-45's dominance overshadowed these additions.

Many players on social media have voiced their displeasure, highlighting concerns about the developers' prioritization of this issue over the persistent cheating problem plaguing Warzone. Some also expressed frustration with past handling of COR-45 glitches and concerns about developers working during the holidays.
A similar glitch impacting the COR-45's XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit occurred in August 2024, allowing for an extremely fast time-to-kill (TTK). That issue, which quickly went viral, was addressed with a swift patch. This current situation underscores the ongoing challenge of maintaining balance in Warzone.
