Warzone: The Return of the Kilo?

There’s an assault rifle in Modern Warfare 2 that brings back memories of the iconic Kilo from Warzone, yet it's being overlooked by many players.

Recently, several guns from Modern Warfare 2 have significantly influenced the Warzone meta. Although Modern Warfare 3 weapons still dominate, a few older guns remain competitive.

One of these iconic guns, the ISO Hemlock, seems to have been forgotten by players, but the battle royale's developers have not neglected it. The assault rifle received a buff in Season 4, increasing its minimum and mid-damage profiles.

Despite an improvement in the damage modifier for arm shots, the Hemlock hasn't seen much use. However, FaZe Swagg has highlighted its potential due to its similarity to the Kilo 141 from Modern Warfare 2.

Swagg described the Kilo as one of the "craziest guns of all time" and noted that the Hemlock currently feels just as powerful. Even though he achieved 27 kills with the gun during a game on Rebirth Island, he didn’t manage to secure the win.

Here’s Swagg’s recommended loadout for the Hemlock:

  • Muzzle: Casus Brake
  • Barrel: Fielder-T50
  • Optic: JAK Glassless
  • Magazine: 45-round mag
  • Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Grain

According to WZRanked stats, the Hemlock is currently the 56th most popular gun in Warzone, a significant drop from when it was a top choice.

Some players believe there’s no saving the Modern Warfare 2 guns, despite recent buffs. However, giving them a try might lead to a fun and nostalgic experience. Guns like the Hemlock and Lachmann Shroud have a familiar feel that can make it seem like you’re revisiting the good old days.
