The iconic PPSh-41 submachine gun returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2, proving effective in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. This guide details how to unlock it and the optimal loadouts for each game mode.
Unlocking the PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is unlocked via the Season 2 Battle Pass. It's a High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. For quicker access, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending and prioritize unlocking the SMG. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 6 easily accessible.
Best PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine in close-quarters combat. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout addresses 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 speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking maneuvers. Pair it with these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from downed enemies.
This perk setup grants the Enforcer Combat Specialty, boosting movement speed and health regeneration after kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play requires a slight modification. Replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks instead:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Best PPSh-41 Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's high rate of fire and magazine size make it a zombie-slaying powerhouse. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Increases damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds (note: penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- 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 speed. To enhance performance, utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and Deadshot Daiquiri with the Dead Head Major Augment for increased critical damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
