The PPSh-41, a Call of Duty classic, roars back into action in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2. This highly effective SMG boasts unique advantages in each game mode. Below are optimal PPSh-41 loadouts for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies.
Unlocking the PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is unlocked via the Season 2 Battle Pass. It's the High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. For quicker access, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to any page, making Page 6 and the PPSh-41 readily available.
Optimal PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout
In Multiplayer, the PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close quarters combat. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout mitigates that:
- Compensator: Reduces vertical recoil.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine size to 55 rounds (note penalties to ADS, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprise attacks. Pair it with these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs for extra score.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from downed enemies.
This perk selection unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration upon kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play requires adjustments. Use the above build, substituting Recoil Springs for the Extended Mag II (unavailable in Ranked). Utilize these perks:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Optimal PPSh-41 Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's high rate of fire and magazine capacity make it a Zombie-slaying powerhouse. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility. For optimal performance, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and Deadshot Daiquiri with the Dead Head Major Augment to boost reload speed and critical hit damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
