The XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit for the COR-45 has been temporarily disabled in MW3 and Warzone. CoD developers stated that this was done to curb users from exploiting a glitch in the game. Using the glitch, players were able to essentially double the firepower of the COR-45 Handguns, which led to an absurdly low TTK.

Since this wasn't how the developers intended the pistols to behave in the games, they had to take down the kit to prevent further exploitation.

CoD devs remove the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit for the COR-45 in MW3 and Warzone

@CODUpdates, the official CoD update channel on X, announced that the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit for the COR-45 in MW3 and Warzone has been disabled due to an exploit. As mentioned earlier, this glitch allowed users to equip the COR-45 in ways that the developers never wanted to happen. The glitched build would result in an increased fire rate for the COR-45 and with the Akimbo Grips equipped, this firepower could be doubled, essentially eliminating enemies in seconds.

The glitch pertained to a Blueprint in the games called the 'Cork & Screw', which comes equipped with the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit. This Conversion Kit boosts the fire rate of the pistol, resulting in higher damage output in a relatively shorter time.

To make it a balanced attachment, Call of Duty removed the ability to use Akimbo Grips with the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit equipped. However, users had found a way to bypass this using the Cork & Screw Blueprint.

Here's how the entire glitch played out. First players equipped the Cork & Screw Blueprint and then removed all the attachments. Since the XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit also gets removed in the process, it enabled them to use the Akimbo Grips with the gun. With the Akimbo Rear Grip attached, both MW3 and Warzone show that the XRK IP-V2 Kit cannot be equipped.

But with the glitch in the Blueprint, players were able to equip the locked Kit to their weapon. This resulted in an increased fire rate at a base level thanks to the XRK IP-V2. On top of that, with the Akimbo Grips, they were able to double the power, making the COR-45 overpowered.

Fortunately, Call of Duty quickly took notice of the issue and disabled the XRK IP-V2 Kit in MW3 and Warzone. CoD devs are currently working on a fix and a patch will soon be deployed. The fix should resolve the glitch in the titles and enable players to equip the Conversion Kit again, but this time without the Akimbo Grips.
