The ISO Hemlock has dominated Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 since arriving in both games, so here’s how you can unlock it now that the Season 3 update is live.

Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 is finally here, bringing a boatload of content to both games. The update added a new Gulag for battle royale players to tackle, and new maps for multiplayer fans.

Of course, there are also new weapons to unlock through the Season 3 Battle Pass, including the beloved Intervention Sniper Rifle. This means the popular ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle is longer available via the Battle Pass, but those who missed out can still grab this dominant gun.

Here’s how to unlock the ISO Hemlock in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 3.

How to unlock the ISO Hemlock in Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2

The ISO Hemlock can be unlocked by getting 50 Longshot kills with Assault Rifles in Warzone 2 or Modern Warfare 2. Players could originally get the AR by completing Sector B11 of the Season 2 Battle Pass, but the devs revealed this new challenge in the Season 3 patch notes.

This objective shouldn’t take too long to complete, especially for Warzone 2 players used to the vast open spaces of Al Mazrah. Those who prefer Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer can speed things up by equipping the TAQ-56 and heading into Ground War.

The SCAR was given a healthy buff in Season 3, and the larger maps of Ground War should present more opportunities to pick off enemies from a distance. Once you complete this challenge, the ISO Hemlock is yours to keep.

The ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle first arrived in the Season 2 Battle Pass.

The Hemlock is described as a “powerful and enhanced rifle from Expedite Firearms,” that can take both 5.56 and subsonic .300 BLK ammunition. As you level up the gun and equip the best attachments, you’ll also be unlocking new camos that can be used on every weapon in the game.

Keep an eye out for the two new Pistols set to arrive in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 Reloaded, including a fully-automatic Desert Eagle.
