The ISO Hemlock loadout might have been nerfed slightly in the Warzone 2.0 patch but it is still a viable option and it is quite easy to use with the right attachments.
The Season 3 reloaded nerfs hit the Assault Rifles hard. Most of the good ones got nerfs and they are not as strong as before. However, some good weapons like the TAQ-56, Kastov-74u, and the M4 came out well. The ISO Hemlock was used heavily before and even now after the nerfs.
Today we will take a look at EyeQew‘s version of a meta ISO Hemlock loadout which is sure to give any other weapon a run for its money. The loadout will target the weapon’s stability and usefulness in medium to long engagements. Without further ado, let us get into it.
Post-Nerf ISO Hemlock Meta Loadout in Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded ft. EyeQew
The ISO Hemlock received a heavy nerf in the patches as its long, medium, and short-range multipliers were reduced. Activision also gave the gun a heavy damage reduction from the lower torso and downwards. But despite that, the weapon is continuing to function as one of the best in the game. Here are the attachments.
- Optic: AIM OP-V4
- Magazine: 45-Round Mag
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Barrel: Fielder-T50
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
This is the simplest loadout you can find as it caters to the gun’s strengths by using well-known attachments. The first one is the AIM OP-V4, one of the cleanest Optics in the game. It can allow you to see clearer and track enemies better. Simple yet effective.
Next is the much-required 45-Round MAG. Now that the nerfs have reduced the damage of the gun, it is natural that you will require more bullets to kill. That is why, equipping this mag and having some extra ammo can help save your life or get you multi-kills depending on the situation you are in.
The FTAC Ripper 56 gives us a much-needed increase in aim idle stability, recoil stabilization, and hip-fire accuracy. However, this attachment slightly reduces the ADS speed and the aim walking speed. Next, we move on to the Barrel and the Muzzle.
The Fielder-T50 increases the gun’s damage range, bullet velocity, hip-fire accuracy, and recoil control. These are all the stat bonuses you need to make the gun a meta weapon. However, there is a drawback as it decreases the gun’s mobility a little.
The last attachment is the Harbinger D20. This suppressor offers a substantial increase in bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil smoothness while taking ADS speed, aim walking speed, and aiming stability down a notch. You can equip any other utility or even a primary for your 2nd weapon if it suits your playstyle.
This is a great short to medium weapon, however, if long ranges are your thing, check out this Cronen Squall loadout to better your chances in those fights.
