Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this new character, Iso, in VALORANT since he dropped in Episode Seven, Act Three. Gotta say, he’s shaken things up for us duelists, and I’m here for it. I spent a good chunk of time getting the hang of him, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride.
First off, I jumped into a bunch of games, trying to figure out the best way to use Iso’s abilities. The Double Tap thing? It’s wild. Basically, I started playing super aggressively, which is kind of my style anyway. I’d go head-to-head with enemies, and when I’d take them down, I’d get this energy orb. Shoot that, and boom, I’ve got a shield. This changed everything. I could take on fights I’d usually back away from. So, my first move was to get comfortable with being the first one into the fight, relying on that shield to keep me going.
Then, I started experimenting with different guns. Found out the ISO Hemlock is a beast. It’s like, top-tier in the current meta, no joke. I slapped a FSS Nightshade barrel and a 50 round drum on it. Oh man, the hipfire accuracy with this setup is insane. I was hitting almost every shot within 20 meters without even aiming down sights. It felt so good to just run and gun, knowing most of my shots would land. I also tried out some different underbarrels, but honestly, the standard setup just worked best for me.
I also played around with different maps. Some maps just clicked with Iso’s playstyle. Places with lots of corners and tight spaces where I could quickly engage and use the Double Tap shield were my favorites. It was all about finding those spots where I could use his abilities to the fullest.
- Started by playing a lot of matches to get a feel for Iso.
- Focused on using Double Tap aggressively to get shields after kills.
- Experimented with weapons and found the ISO Hemlock with a FSS Nightshade and 50 round drum to be super effective.
- Hipfire was the way to go, no need to waste time aiming.
- Looked for maps with tight spaces to maximize Iso’s abilities.
After all that testing, I felt like I really got the hang of Iso. I was winning more duels, clutching rounds I had no business winning, and just having a blast. It’s been a while since a new agent made me rethink how I play, but Iso did just that. And yeah, while I was figuring him out, there were times I messed up, got caught out, or just plain missed my shots. But that’s part of the process, right? You learn, you adapt, and you get better.
So, that’s my experience with mastering Iso’s loadout in VALORANT. It was a grind, but a fun one. And hey, if you’re struggling with him, maybe try some of the stuff I did. It might just work for you too. It is all about enjoying the game and make fun of it.
