This brand-new Call of Duty AR is a deadly addition to the weapon roster and one every player should try. Follow the instructions outlined below so that you can get the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle in MW2 and Warzone 2.

How do you unlock the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle?

The ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle is a free reward included in the Season 02 Battle Pass. To unlock this AR for use, you must progress through the Season 02 Battle Pass and unlock it with Battle Token Tier Skips.

You can rack up Battle Token Tier Skips naturally by earning XP in MW2, DMZ, or Warzone 2, or you can buy Battle Token Tier Skips outright with COD Points.

While we don't yet know what Sector the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle will inhabit, it'll undoubtedly be a High-Value Target (HVT). This means you will need to unlock all the other rewards in the ISO Hemlock AR's Sector to ultimately get the ISO Hemlock itself.

It's important to note that the Season 02 Battle Pass also features the KV Broadside Shotgun and Dual Kodachis Melee Weapon. These two weapons and the ISO Hemlock Assault Rifle will likely be spread out across the Sectors of the Season 02 Battle Pass. So, players will need to decide on which of these new weapons they want to unlock first.

Finally, remember that you can unlock weapons in MW2 and Warzone 2 by playing MW2 DMZ. If you happen to loot an ISO Hemlock AR in the DMZ and successfully exfil with it, you'll get permanent access to it.

If Season 03 comes around and you still don't have the ISO Hemlock, there'll be an in-game Weapon Unlock Challenge that you can complete for the right to use the AR.
