Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is deep into Season 2 now, and all of the relevant Events are well underway. If you’ve been working on chipping away at the all-important Battle Pass, then you should’ve unlocked the ISO Hemlock by now. You have been working on unlocking the ISO Hemlock, right?
The ISO Hemlock is the newest weapon in Warzone 2.0 and MW2, and it is incredibly capable in battle, with very little recoil and some decent damage. If you want to build the best possible loadout for the ISO Hemlock, then you’re in the right place.
In this guide we’re breaking down the best attachments for the ISO Hemlock, and the attachments you should use to make it as powerful as possible for when you drop into Ranked and the Battle Royale. We also have a lists for the best meta weapons and best one-shot snipers, if you’re going all-in.
How to unlock the ISO Hemlock – COD Warzone 2
The ISO Hemlock is a brand new assault rifle being added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 with the launch of Season 2, which is running right now. To unlock the ISO Hemlock for your own online builds, you will need to segment B11 in the Battle Pass, and unlock it completely. This will require 20 battle pass tokens, a fifth of the overall amount you need to complete the battle pass.
The Battle Pass for Warzone 2.0 Season 2 includes three new weapons: the ISO Hemlock, the Dual Kodachis, and the KV Broadside. The ISO Hemlock is easily the most useful overall of these three, so you should make a beeline to B11 in the Battle Pass to unlock the ISO Hemlock as soon as you get your 20th Battle Pass token.
Best ISO Hemlock build – COD Warzone 2
Our ISO Hemlock build is made for stable fire during Warzone 2’s intense battles. The ADS speed isn’t too high, but if you intend to fight at close range, you should really ensure you’re equipped with an SMG or akimbo X 13s.
- Barrel: Fielder-T50
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Optic: AIM OP-V4
- Underbarrel: XTEN Gravedigger
- Rear Grip: Phantom Grip
If you wish to change the optic to something you prefer, like something with a bit more zoom, that’s fine, but this is a clear and precise scope that doesn’t take up too much screen space. The ISO Hemlock does have good iron sights though, so you could trade the optic for something that increases ADS or Sprint To Fire speed to use it at closer ranges, if you're daring.
The Cipher-121 is a great alternative Barrel to the Fielder-T50 and comes with built-in sound suppression – though lacks the ability to attach a muzzle. The added Bullet Velocity and Damage Range from the Harbinger D20 muzzle is worth not using the Cipher-121, in our humble opinion.
This is where things get tricky, though. The Underbarrel is really an optional choice and could be swapped out for a 45 Round Mag instead if you want more firepower. The Rear Grip, meanwhile, could be traded out for a Sakin ZX Grip, instead of the Phantom Grip, depending on your preference.
