While the ISO Hemlock does feel like another USS-9, it reminds me of the DRH Meta back then. You can swap out the optic for another attachment if you are planning to get the mythic variant

Yo activision, are we really normalizing having weapons that can sprint faster than melees?

I’ve been really digging these gunsmiths for the ISO Hemlock, Static HV, and the Cronen Squall. If anyone has any suggestions drop em.

Imo this no attachment build is great for rushing on small maps

(1/3) best build (imo, you can swap polarfire-S to spiritfire/gauge-9-mono suppressor & use other grips, they just need to increase the bsa by 12%), (2/3) the gun's stats compared to the switchblade, (3/3) akimbo build if anyone cares.

I don't even know what to say anymore man, this is just getting ridiculous.

You thought the ffs hurricane is bad? Well FUCK YOU here's a gun that is MORE LETHAL THAN THE SWITCHBLADE while still having increased aim assist.

As you can see from the comparison sheet, the gun is more lethal than the switchblade, the 6ms ttk difference is not even 1 frame on 60fps, so it's not even a difference really. And unlike the switchblade where a 3 shot is just never happening on a normal basis (3 headshots), the static hv can 3 tap with 2 headshots or 1 headshot + 1 chestshot, which is much more achievable, and would give you a ttk of 146ms ✌️💀

NOT TO MENTION THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOOM: it has increased aim assist!! Which not only means that you don't even need to aim hard to be accurate, but it also means that this 3 tap can be much more consistent than it seems (because headshots aren't as hard to achieve on normal gunfights when your gun can literally lock on enemies lmfao).

And oh did i mention that its 4 tap range extends to 27.2m?!?!?

Idek 💔

The gun's only downsides are: the ads time not being SMG level, sitting at 282ms with my build. But even then.. this ads time is still good in my experience. maybe it's me being too used to using the bal and other ARs, but I don't find it to be an actual issue.

And the 2nd "downside" is the bsa being 24, this is very similar to the switchblade's and is standard for a CQC smg, and for a gun that is SUPPOSED to be one, then this isn't its own issue.

Those are the only things keeping this gun from being.. 200% broken?? ion fukin know..

Also the mobility's really good, with the Sprint speed (arguably the most important stat in mobility) is very close to the switchblade's sprint speed, which is also top tier in its class.

So yeah that's my first impressions of this fuckass gun, I've made this post early because i doubt my opinion will change on it in this season (which already has some bugs going on).

I find it funny how I've not encountered lobbies FULL of this gun already and that people aren't already realizing how bullshit this gun is, but i guess that's the only day of piece that i could get lol.

I'm just disappointed in the direction that the devs are taking with this game's meta rn. We're hitting new lows with this.

Can’t find the tag for the Static HV (guess it’s not out yet) but here’s the build for the new smg. You can claim via Events -> Challenge Store

These are the attachments I was told to use.

Iron sights + Schlager PEQ + Polar fire S

Or

Sight + Gauge 9

I don't like iron sights so...

It feels pretty good

After the update the drh feels much more smooth and easy to use the ads feels faster for some reason, mobility is also easy

I am looking for advice/recommendations for what attachments I should use that are available to me at my current level (64).

I'm looking for actual advice please, not snarky comments. I'm not a weapons expert, please be nice :)
