ISO Hemlock Current META: S-Tier
The ISO Hemlock is one of the top ARs in the early WZ2 Season 2 meta (see the full Warzone 2.0 Tier-list here). Newly introduced via the Season 2 Battle Pass, the ISO Hemlock is easy to unlock as a free option in the Battle Pass. This weapon has a slow rate of fire, but is powerful and has low recoil, with the potential to be a great mid-range option.

ISO Hemlock Recommended Equipment
- Tactical equipment: Smoke Grenade. Smoke Grenades are incredibly effective in Warzone 2.0 given the game’s short TTK. Smoke grenades will significantly hinder an opponent’s ability to acquire targets and are a great way to disengage from a fight when the cards are stacked against you.
- Lethal equipment: Drill Charge. In our opinion, this is one of the most ‘broken’ items in the current Warzone 2.0 meta as it gives a massive boost to player awareness, which pairs well with the slow and methodical pace of the current game.
ISO Hemlock Recommended Perks
- Overkill: The Sakin will be optimized for mid-range, so you’ll need another primary for close range combat
- Double Time: Increased movement speed will be critical given low TTK, especially for gaining an advantage in Resurgence
- Fast Hands: Again, speed is the name of the game. Swapping between long and close range, reloads — it doesn’t get any better
- High Alert: Always know when an enemy has you in their crosshairs, even if you can’t see them
Potential Balance Changes in the Future for the ISO Hemlock
The ISO Hemlock has been a top WZ2 meta option for the majority of Season 2. Will this continue into Season 3? Recently, we have seen the newly introduced weapons take over the WZ2 meta. This trend could continue and we could see Season 3 weapons replace the ISO Hemlock at the top of the food chain.
