Best Warzone ISO 45 Build

While we don’t know huge amounts about the profile and performance of the ISO 45 because of its newness – only dropping with June 14’s Season 4 update – it’s been described by Activision as a fast-firing SMG that’s perfect for room-clearing. Because of that, we’re opting for attachments to improve its range, damage and handling. 

Unlockable via the Battle Pass, we’re kicking off our ISO 45 loadout with attachments to improve its accuracy and range, ensuring it can cope in Warzone’s bigger open spaces and generally longer engagements. That’s why we’ve gone for the 9″ PTX Trainer and FTAC Ripper 56, both of which stabilize shots and improve damage ranges (albeit at a slight decrease to handling).

Similarly, the 45 Round Drum and EXP Shear will minimize reloads and speed up ADS respectively, ensuring your ISO is snappy and quick. It’ll mean you can challenge opponents who catch you unawares when you’re clearing those rooms and running-and-gunning.

  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Magazine: 45 Round Drum
  • Barrel: 9″ PTX Trainer
  • Stock: SK-3 Cheetah
  • Rear Grip: EXP Shear

Finally, the SK-3 Cheetah makes the cut to improve your mobility, letting you walk and move much faster. It makes you a harder target when engaging enemies and ensures it’s easier to hit all your shots.

Best Loadout for MW2

In Modern Warfare 2, the ISO 45 again thrives at the closest of ranges. It’s really geared towards running-and-gunning. As a result, our recommended loadout is about speed and lethality, letting you fly at enemies knowing you’ve got a pocket-rocket to support the carnage.

The SK-3 Cheetah and EXP Shear translate over for those reasons; we want to keep the ISO 45 as responsive and easy to use as possible.

There’s also not quite as much need to augment range and damage in MW2, with the majority of your engagements likely to happen at closer-ranges than in Warzone. As a result, we’re swapping the 9″ PTX Trainer barrel for the lighter and faster 7″ EX Raptor-V2, as well as bringing the VLK LZR 7MW into the equation.

  • Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Barrel: 7″ EX Raptor-V2
  • Stock: SK-3 Cheetah
  • Rear Grip: EXP Shear

Lastly, the Commando Foregrip makes our recommended MW2 build for the benefits it brings to handling and aiming idle stability, slightly less punishing than the FTAC Ripper. It’s a formidable loadout, built for speed, damage and devastation.

Those are the best ISO 45 loadouts for Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. Only time will tell whether it can muscle in on the best weapons in the battle royale or whether it’s set for a spell on the fringes. Whatever comes next, we’ll cover it right here at Twinfinite.
