Okay, here’s the blog post about the best Hemlock loadout, written in a personal, conversational style, just like you asked:
So, I’ve been grinding with the ISO Hemlock in Warzone 2 lately, trying to find that sweet spot, you know? And let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I messed around with a bunch of different attachments, perks, the whole nine yards.

I started off thinking, “Okay, recoil control is key,” so I slapped on all the attachments that promised to tame that kick. Yeah, it was steady, alright – steady like a snail. I was getting outgunned left and right. It was rough. Then i found some tips from a YouTuber named “IceManIsaac”.
Back to the drawing board. I tried a more aggressive approach. Maxed out the damage range, went for mobility. Felt like a glass cannon. Super powerful, but one wrong move and I was back in the lobby. It just wasn’t consistent enough for my playstyle.
Then it hit me. Balance. I needed a build that could handle those mid-range gunfights but still pack a punch up close. And that’s when I stumbled upon this gem of a setup, with a nod to IceManIsaac’s tips.
The Loadout
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: Fielder-T50
- Optic: Aim OP-V4
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag
- Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
I played around 50 matches with it. This thing is a beast. It shreds. Seriously, I was beaming people across the map. The recoil is manageable, the damage is insane, and the 45-round mag gives you enough room for those multi-kills.
With this loadout, I finally felt like I could push fights confidently. I was winning more engagements, clutching those 1v2s, and even snagged a few solo wins. I even used some 5.56 High Velocity to boost my accuracy. It’s been a game-changer for me, and it will definitely boost your K/D. I hope it helps you too!
