I personally think selectfire receiver makes much more sense as a hop up for the hemlock rather than the havoc. It would work the same as it currently does on the prowler, and I think it would be a great buff on an underused weapon. The hemlock currently has no hop ups, while the havoc has two, and the havoc currently is being used much more than the hemlock. The selectfire on the havoc is also rarely used due to turbocharger being considered the much better hop up

Full auto on the hemlock would be pretty OP, as is already demonstrated by those few who use macros to turn its single fire mode into full auto.
Perhaps it could be balanced with greater recoil, or reduced muzzle velocity...
However I'd rather hop-ups were used to create greater distinction between weapons, not turn weapon into "slightly different r301/r99".
Maybe the Hemlok could have a hop-up that gave it an under-slung single shot grenade launcher (like the M203).
Allowing a single grenade to be fired without having to switch away from your primary would be an interesting (and potentially very powerful) tactical option.
Requiring you to take a sub-optimal primary weapon to be able to access said option would be an interesting compromise.
Though even without balance testing, I'm pretty confident you'd have to limit it to frag grenades only; an arc star or thermite from an under-slung launcher would be too abusable.

Hemlock is a really underrated weapon, if you can control the 3 round burst it has amazing TTK potential, I have started using it to try and climb out of diamond.

@Pluto887PKPI understand what you’re saying and I sorta agree except there are 2 faults
1) hemlock under used weapon? Either it’s less used than when I was still playing or you’re just not coming up against hemlockers... next to PK’s and R99’s, I think I saw that gun the most.
2) the dmg the hemlock does is quite high. The only way a selectfire hopup would work is if the dmg gets lowered, cause the gun would still spray insanely fast, likely... especially for an AR.
1 note tho, if they were to make the SF compatible with the hemlock, either hemlocks would be harder to find or the SF will become even more scarce...
