The ISO Nightshade is one of the strongest SMGs in Modern Warfare 4 beta right now. It offers a fast fire rate, solid mobility, and enough control to dominate at close to medium ranges.
Quick summary
- The ISO Nightshade is ideal for aggressive play.
- This build improves recoil control and handling.
- The ISO Nightshade performs best in close-to-mid-range fights and objective modes.
The best ISO Nightshade loadout in MW4 beta
Best ISO Nightshade build in MW4
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | FSS Crackdown |
| Rear Grip | Demo STP-1 |
| Stock | GL-80 Milspec Stock |
| Laser | Schlager VisiV-5 |
| Ammunition | 9mm Parabellum Frangible |
The FSS Crackdown muzzle helps make the ISO Nightshade easier to control during sustained fire. The Demo STP-1 rear grip improves handling, which helps when you need to aim quickly after sprinting or transition between targets during close-range fights.
The GL-80 Milspec Stock adds extra control for medium-range gunfights on larger maps. The Schlager VisiV-5 laser improves the ISO Nightshade’s overall aiming response, thus becoming most effective with aggressive movement. Lastly, the 9mm Parabellum Frangible ammunition is particularly useful when chasing damaged enemies or trying to finish a target before they reach cover.
Best ISO Nightshade class setup in MW4
- Secondary : Krait P68
- Melee : Combat Knife
- Tactical : Flash Grenade
- Lethal : Semtex
- Field Upgrade : DDOS
- Perk 1 : High Alert
- Perk 2 : Fast Hands
- Perk 3 : Blood Rush
Flash Grenades allow you to push comparatively safely and engage in fights on your own terms. Combine that with Semtex, and you can deal some more damage before pushing. DDOS emits a localized pulse that temporarily jams and disables nearby enemy electronics (Trophy System) and sensors, so it’s great for aggressive play.
For Perks, go with High Alert, Fast Hands, and Blood Rush. High Alert gives you vision pulses when spotted by an enemy player outside of view. Fast Hands allows you to switch between weapons and equipment a lot faster, and Blood Rush increases Tactical Sprint duration and makes crouch speed faster. Once you get a kill, your stamina replenishes as well.
You can choose any Killstreaks you want, but my personal preference is UAV at 4 kills, Artillery Beacon at 6 kills, and Attack Helicopter at 10 kills.
