ISO Hemlock still is among Modern Warfare 2‘s best assault rifles going into Season 3 Reloaded thanks to its great TTK and low recoil. So here’s our best meta loadout for the ISO Hemlock in Season 3 Reloaded of Modern Warfare 2 complete with the best attachments and perks.

The ISO Hemlock is one of the most lethal picks in Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 Reloaded and it holds a mind-blowing pick rate.

The AR class is competitive in both MW2 and Warzone 2 this year but the ISO Hemlock has established itself as one of the best options in the current meta.

MW2 expert WhosImmortal has even labeled the weapon as the strongest pick for multiplayer, so it’s well worth using if you’re looking to dominate your foes.

So, to make things easier for you in the game here’s our best ISO Hemlock loadout for you to use in Modern Warfare 2

Best ISO Hemlock Modern Warfare 2 loadout

  • Barrel: Fielder-T50
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Stock: Res-2
  • Rear Grip: XTEN Grip

Kicking off our best ISO Hemlock Modern Warfare 2 loadout, we’ve gone for the Fielder-T50 Barrel due to several big upgrades including a nice boost to hip fire accuracy. It will also be no surprise to MW2 players that we’ve opted for the FSS OLE-V Laser as it’s just amazing and offers multiple top-quality boosts.

Optics can be down to preference, but it’s gradually become accepted that the Cronen Mini Pro is just a great go-to for most, if not all, guns. Also, the Res-2 Stock is also ideal for gaining more all-around speed to aid your mobility around every map.

To finish off the loadout, we’ve opted for the XTEN Grip for extra speed for your Operator, crucially, Aim Down Sight speed.

Best ISO Hemlock Modern Warfare 2 class: Perks & equipment

  • Base Perk 1: Tracker
  • Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: High Alert
  • Lethal: Flash Grenade
  • Tactical: Stim

Tracker is a cheat code at times as you can literally follow a trail from a player that has run by you recently, and Battle Hardened is essential for coping with Flash Grenades.

Our bonus Perk is Fast Hands because you can reload much quicker and rotate to your secondary much faster – and it’s incredibly useful.

High Alert is a no-brainer for the Ultimate Perk as it gives you a vital second or two to react when you’ve been spotted by an enemy player.

For Equipment, Flash Grenades will blind your opponents for what feels like forever and a Stim gets you back into the action.

How to unlock the ISO Hemlock in Modern Warfare 2

To unlock the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle to your loadout in the first place, you will need to reach Sector B11 in the Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 Battle Pass.

The Battle Pass has undergone some changes in the latest round of Call of Duty titles, and reaching Sector B11 shouldn’t take too long to reach.

If you do unlock the ISO Hemlock, give it a whirl, and decide it’s not for you, then there are plenty of fun options for you to consider including the consistent TAQ-56 AR, and the devastating Fennec SMG to switch things up.
