The ISO 9mm is the latest addition to the Modern Warfare 2 SMG list, and this rifle is a close-quarters submachine weapon with immense power. A variant of the ISO 45, the ISO 9mm, is quickly gaining traction among players as one of the best close-combat guns in Modern Warfare 2, thanks to its increased mobility and handling.

However, the COD ISO 9mm is only as good as its build and loadout. Players who want to get the most out of this powerful rifle should know the best loadout to secure victory in aggressive play styles on MW2 maps.

The Best MW2 ISO 9mm Loadout

The best ISO 9mm build is as follows:

  • Barrel: 16″ XLB-S
  • Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Optic: Preferred player sight
  • Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
  • Magazine: 15 Round Drum
  • Stock: Mace 650
  • Rear Grip: A30 Stout

The Barrel(16″ XLB-S) improves the damage range while suppressing the gun’s shots, ensuring the weapon doesn’t bounce around with every shoot. The A3O Stout rear grip and the Edge-47 Grip underbarrel offer greater stability and recoil control, ensuring the rifle holds its own in mid-range combat.

Players can change the Optic to their preferred sight without affecting the build’s functionality. For instance, players can use the Slimline Pro, which increases accuracy and doesn’t affect ADS speed. There’s also no harm in using Cronen Mini Pro for a close-range optic.

This ISO 9mm build focuses on maximum mobility, control, and reducing the recoil for close-quarters combat. The build ensures players can easily and quickly shred their enemies at mid to close range with minimal side-to-side bounces. Players who find their ISO 9mm gun hard to control should try this build for better control. With the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 release, players must tune their ISO 9MM with the right loadouts to succeed.

The Best ISO 9mm Perks & Equipment

In addition to the ISO 9mm loadout, players can add more items to their rifles to complement the build. Some of the best perks and equipment for the ISO 9mm include the following:

  • Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
  • Base Perk 1 & 2: Bomb Squad and Scavenger
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Lethal Equipment: Semtex
  • Additional Perk: Fast Hands

Modern Warfare 2 is full of explosives, and the Bomb Squad reduces their effectiveness, helping players survive. Fast Hands and Scavenger are good for quicker reloads, as players can restock on the go. Ghost keeps players on the low, and Semtex helps secure many kills in tight spaces.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
