The COR-45 had the best TTK in Warzone prior to the May 14 update, but despite a stealth nerf to the Pistol it’s still just as “overpowered” and outguns the other meta options.
Following in the footsteps of the Renetti, the COR-45 has taken over the meta in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded, especially on PC. Using the mouse wheel to fire gave the Pistol a blistering 400ms TTK, which was superior to other top picks like the Striker 9 or WSP-9.
The devs looked to rectify this in the May 14 update, which introduced a stealth nerf to the COR-45 in an effort to make it less dominant. It reduced the fire rate of the XRK Lightning Trigger Action attachment, which is the key to making it the fastest-killing gun in the game.
On top of this, the patch notes also mention that they “implemented measures to prevent exploits that allow firing faster than intended.” Many thought that this could be referring to the mouse wheel trick, but the setting has remained unchanged since the update.
The result is a slight reduction in the COR-45’s time to kill, but it’s still far and away the fastest killing weapon in Warzone despite the nerf.
