Classic Warzone Kilo meta returns through forgotten MW2 AR

One of Warzone‘s most iconic metas was the Kilo 141, which dominated the Verdansk era of the battle royale. MW2‘s ISO Hemlock shares similarities to the AR, and it’s a top option in Season 4 Reloaded despite being widely forgotten.

The ISO Hemlock had its time in the sun, as it was a consistent top pick during MW2’s lifecycle when it arrived in the second season. Since MW3’s introduction, it’s fallen by the wayside, but it’s making a resurgence in Season 4.

In the Season 4 update, the AR received a buff to its damage profile, making it more efficient and giving it a faster TTK.

The ISO Hemlock has excellent damage range and easy-to-control recoil, which are similar traits to the Kilo 141. It’s a great choice for mid-to-long-range engagements, as you can stay on target thanks to its low recoil and steady fire rate.

Using our best ISO Hemlock loadout for the battle royale, I was able to hit shots with ease and eliminate enemies from long distances. It’s even great on Rebirth Island.

The only downside is that it’s an MW2 weapon, so it’s not as smooth as MW3’s, with a worse sprint to fire time and handling. However, if you can get passed that and would love to experience something similar to the Kilo again, it’s the perfect choice.

Even popular streamer FaZe Swagg highlighted the ISO Hemlock in his July 16 YouTube video, in which he compared it to the Kilo and described it as meta.

The FaZe member managed to drop 29 kills in a Resurgence match on Rebirth Island, showing just how powerful the ISO Hemlock is.

He paired the AR with the Superi 46, which despite some nerfs in Season 4 Reloaded, remains a top SMG choice.
