Best COR-45 MW3 loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks

MW3 community members are sleeping on pistols, but we are here to enlighten you about the underrated COR-45. From class setup to attachments, and perks, here is everything you need to know.

It also doesn’t help that MW3 features a whopping 114 weapons at launch. With so many other options out there, a pistol probably ranks near last in a list of most exciting weapons. But that is where you might be wrong.

Even though sidearms don’t necessarily jump off the page as must-use weapons, the COR 45 is absolutely lethal in the right hands and with the right set of attachments equipped.
