• Perks: Demolition / Commando / Tactical Pads / Blacklight Flashlight
• Grenades: Semtex / Flash

This build provides improvements in damage, fire rate, range, and recoil control, making the COR-45 an excellent secondary weapon to use in any Modern Warfare 3 loadout. Alongside perks and equipment that improve versatility, this pistol is a viable option in most close-quarters and mid-range scenarios.

Best Modern Warfare 3 COR-45 attachments

In Modern Warfare 3, you can fully customise your collection of weapons with attachments to change their play style and stats, courtesy of the gunsmith. With the right attachments, the COR-45 can be tailored to fit a variety of different play styles. Here's our favourite combination to use:

• Muzzle: XRK Ventor-900
• Barrel: XRK Pyre-9 Heavy Long Barrel
• Ammunition: .40 Auto High Grain Rounds
• Trigger Action: XRK V6 Match
• Rear Grip: Granular Grip

To minimise the damage drop-off, the XRK Pyre-9 Heavy Long Barrel comes into its own. It even provides a slight reduction in recoil alongside the XRK Ventor-900 muzzle and Granular Grip.

For a faster rate of fire, the XRK V6 Match is the way to go. The increase gives you the best opportunity to outgun those using stronger weapons available in the Modern Warfare 3 arsenal.

Best Modern Warfare 3 COR-45 perks and equipment

Below we talk through what we think would be the best perks and equipment to pair with the COR-45 pistol, depending on how you like to play close-range fights.

Perks

• Vest: Demolition
• Gloves: Commando
• Boots: Tactical Pads
• Gear: Blacklight Flashlight

The Demolition vest is our pick to pair with the COR-45 pistol, as it resupplies both tactical and lethal gear every 25 seconds, so having an extra attack method in your arsenal when playing up close and personal is always beneficial. The Commando gloves also pair well with the COR-45, as they increase reload speed while sprinting, meaning you can run and gun that much faster.

We'd also suggest equipping the Tactical Pads boots with the COR-45, as they increase slide distance and ability to ADS while sliding. These boots also make crouching and stance transitions faster, and considering the COR-45 shines in close-range combat, these perks are sure to give you the edge. We'd also recommend using the Blacklight Flashlight to hunt down your foes, as this gear shows recent enemy footsteps, so you have more chance of halting an enemy's escape plan.

Equipment

• Lethal: Semtex
• Tactical: Flash Grenade

It's a classic combo, and it works fantastically with the COR-45 close-range fights. Popping a Flash Grenade and gunning down a foe, all with a handy Semtex in your back pocket to either initiate the fight or finish an enemy off, should be a go-to with this powerful pistol.

Is the COR-45 pistol meta?

It's hard to tell exactly where the COR-45 will fall in the Modern Warfare 3 meta. It's an extremely versatile handgun that's a perfect addition to any loadout when ammunition is running low or if you're after a weapon packed with firepower and mobility.

But there you have it, that's all we know about the COR-45 in Modern Warfare 3.
