There's a tonne of content releasing with Warzone 2 Season 02 (and MW2) for players to enjoy, from Ashika Island to new features, adjustments, DMZ changes and additions, and more. There's also a shiny new Battle Pass filled with goodies. For many Call of Duty fans, however, guns/weapons additions are the most important part of a new season, which brings us to the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle (AR).
In this guide, we explain how you can quickly (and for free) unlock the ISO Hemlock AR in COD Warzone 2 and MW2 Season 02. We also share the platform and what you can expect from the new Assault Rifle in terms of stats/damage output.
Unlock ISO Hemlock AR in Warzone 2 & MW2 For Free
Warzone 2 and MW2 players can unlock the new ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle via the new Battle Pass. It is available for free players, so there is no need to purchase the battle pass for Warzone 2 and MW2 Season 2.
The Season 02 battle pass is in the form of a map with 20 Sectors. Each of these Sectors has five items. Players will need to level up to earn Tokens, which can be used to Unlock a new, adjacent Sector or more items in the current Sector.
You can unlock the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle in Sector B11 as the High-Value Target (HVT). We suggest heading through B3 and B7, where you can unlock König’s “Expedition” Operator Skin and the “Universal Tourist” SUV Vehicle Skin. The B11 Sector of the Battle Pass is, of course, located three blocks away from your targeting Sector, so it should not take THAT long to unlock.
ISO Hemlock AR Stats/Platform in Warzone 2 & MW2 Season 2
The new AR in Warzone 2 and MW2 forms part of the ISO weapon Platform, if it wasn't abundantly clear from the Assault Rifle's name. The developers have noted that the Hemlock will be "a contender in an already-deep Assault Rifle category".
The new AR features two ammo types alongside different magazine sizes. It has a damage range similar to that of the M4 or STB-556 and, as you might have guessed, uses 5.56 ammo. The other type of Ammo used by the Hemlock is the subsonic .300 BLK, putting the new AR in competition with the M13 AR.
The Call of Duty Warzone 2/MW2 Season 02 update was released on 15 February 2023. In case you missed it, check out the official launch trailer for the new season below while you farm Battle Pass Tokens to unlock the ISO Hemlock AR.
So there you have it, a way to quickly unlock the ISO Hemlock AR in Warzone 2 and MW2 during Season 2 for free, and details about the weapon's damage and stats. We will endeavor to update this article if anything changes.
