ISO Hemlock Warzone 2

ISO Hemlock is a Warzone 2 AR that has been through a vast amount of changes and it’s definitely not the king of the meta anymore, so in order to maximize its damage, we’ve put together the best ISO Hemlock loadout for you to use on Al Mazrah in Warzone 2.

When it comes to ARs in Warzone 2, the meta is extremely competitive with the likes of the TAQ-56, Chimera, Kastov 762, and Kastov-74u all fighting for the top spots.

The ISO Hemlock was the standout pick in Season 2 Reloaded which sadly made it a prime candidate for a nerf in Season 3. The knee-jerk reaction was to abandon the AR and search for an alternative, but players quickly realized that the Hemlock is still powerful, so the player base came back to it.

Equipped with a devastating mid-range TTK and a manageable recoil pattern, it’s perfect for racking up kills on Al Mazrah. Over the past few weeks, the gun has dominated the meta.

Of course, to push its power to the limits, you’ll need the best ISO Hemlock loadout and luckily, we’ve got you covered.

Attachments

  • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
  • Barrel: Fielder-T50
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Magazine: 45-Round Mag
  • Optic: Aim OP-V4

Our ISO Hemlock loadout in Warzone 2 is focused on dominating at mid-range. To achieve this, you’ll want to equip the Harbinger D20 muzzle to enhance recoil control and the Fielder-T50 to increase bullet velocity and damage range.

Following this, make sure to use the FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel to bolster the AR’s kickback even more. This added stability makes it simple to land all your shots, and maximize the Hemlock’s TTK.

Next, you’ll need a top-tier optic and the Aim OP-V4 is the number one choice for mid-range engagements.

Finally, round off the loadout with the 45-Round mag to ensure you never run out of bullets and can take out multiple opponents without having to reload.

Best ISO Hemlock Warzone 2 class: Perks & equipment

  • Base Perk 1: Overkill
  • Base Perk 2: Strong Arm
  • Bonus Perk: Spotter
  • Ultimate Perk: Survivor
  • Lethal: Grenade
  • Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade

When it comes to perks we recommend Using Overkill and equipping an SMG as your secondary. The ISO Hemlock dominates at medium range, but it is no match for SMGs at close quarters.

Strong Arm is a useful Perk that allows you to toss equipment longer distances and makes sure your throwables hit exactly what you’re aiming for.

Spotter allows you to identify field upgrades, opponent’s equipment, and kill streaks through the terrain, which will be very helpful when dealing with campers.

Finally, Survivor pings any enemies you get downed by and allows allies to revive you quicker.

For your Lethal and Tactical, a Grenade is perfect for flushing enemies out of cover, and a Flash Grenade is ideal for aggressive pushes.
