The ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle has been a consistently popular pick in Warzone thanks to its reliability. So, with that said, here’s the best ISO Hemlock loadout for Warzone, featuring all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

There are plenty of weapon choices in Warzone, and the variety is about to increase with the MW3 integration in Season 1. While SMGs are an ideal choice for close-range combat, Assault Rifles are a bit more versatile, allowing players to dominate medium to long ranges with ease, which will prove vital on Urzikstan.

Amidst all the shifts in the game’s meta, Assault Rifles maintain their dominance across the BR’s maps, including the smaller-sized Resurgence maps Ashika Island and Vondel. While there a quite a few strong choices in the AR category, the ISO Hemlock remains one of the most popular weapons in the game.

With that said, here’s the best ISO Hemlock loadout for Warzone, including all of the top attachments and Perks to complement it.

Best Warzone ISO Hemlock loadout attachments

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

To kick off our best Warzone ISO Hemlock loadout, we’ve gone with the Fielder-T50 Barrel, which buffs the AR’s damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control to make it far more reliable in mid to long-range fights.

Then, we’ve gone for the Harbinger D20 Muzzle and FTAC Ripper 56 Underbarrel, which combined, significantly increase recoil stability, bullet velocity, and damage range to ensure the Hemlock stays laser accurate at a distance.

It’s also important to equip 45 Round Mag, especially if you’re playing Trios or Quads in Warzone. This will allow you to deal with multiple enemies before having to cover and reload.

Last up is the Aim OP-V4, an easy-to-use optic that makes it far easier to hit those shots when trying to pick off enemy squads over longer ranges.

Best Warzone ISO Hemlock Perks & Equipment

  • Base Perk 1: Overkill
  • Base Perk 2: Double Time
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Flash Grenade

We recommended using Overkill and Double Time with the ISO Hemlock. The first with allow you to run a secondary weapon, preferably a close-range SMG like the ISO 45, while the latter will make you more mobile.

In the Bonus Slot, you’ll want to run Fast Hands to speed up how long it takes to switch weapons and reload, ensuring you’re always ready for a fight. Finally, the Ghost Perk will keep you hidden from enemy UAVs, which is vital when trying to get the drop on rival teams.

When it comes to Equipment, Semtex is a surefire way to score some easy kills, while Flash Grenades can disorientate entire squads before you move in for easy elimination.

How to unlock the ISO Hemlock in Warzone

To unlock the ISO Hemlock in Warzone, all you have to do is earn 50 Longshot kills with Assault Rifles.

Those with access to either Modern Warfare 3 or Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer should be able to tick this off fairly quickly, while battle royale players can rack up a bunch of kills on Resurgence mode.

Best ISO Hemlock alternatives in Warzone

If you’re looking for other Assault Rifles, we recommend trying the TAQ-56, which has established itself as one of Warzone’s best Assault Rifles.

On the other hand, you can opt for the Lachmann-556 which has become a top-tier option towards the end of 2023.
