With Season 2 of *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, the legendary PPSh-41 has made a thrilling comeback, proving to be a powerhouse SMG across different game modes. Here's how to get your hands on it and the best loadouts for *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer and Zombies.
How To Unlock the PPSh-41 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
In *Call of Duty* Season 2, unlocking the PPSh-41 is straightforward through the Battle Pass. This iconic Submachine Gun is available as the High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. To unlock it as quickly as possible, ensure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off, allowing you to strategically spend them on the necessary items to get the SMG. If you're a Season 2 BlackCell owner, you can instantly skip to one page of your choice, which, combined with the included tier skips, lets you jump straight to Page 6 and claim the PPSh-41 right away.
Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer
In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41 shines with its high capacity and rapid fire rate, making it perfect for close-quarters combat and achieving multi-kills. However, its significant recoil can challenge your aim, especially when aiming for headshots needed for camo challenges. Here are the optimal attachments for the PPSh-41 in Multiplayer:
- Compensator – Enhances Vertical Recoil Control.
- Long Barrel – Boosts Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it slightly reduces Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Balanced Stock – Enhances Hipfire Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, and Movement Speed.
This setup significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprise attacks on groups. However, its high fire rate means you'll burn through ammo quickly. To maximize its aggressive playstyle, consider these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket – Reduces damage from explosives and fire.
- Perk 2: Assassin – Marks enemies on kill streaks on the minimap and lets you pick up Bounty Packs for more Score.
- Perk 3: Double Time – Extends the duration of Tactical Sprint.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger – Allows you to resupply ammo and equipment from defeated enemies.
These perks, combined, grant the Enforcer Combat Specialty, temporarily boosting your movement speed and health regeneration rate after kills.
PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play
Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* has a different set of available attachments and perks, requiring adjustments to your PPSh-41 loadout. Use the same build as above, but swap the Extended Mag II for Recoil Springs, which are available in Ranked Play. Here are the recommended perks for Ranked Play:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Best PPSh-41 Loadout for Black Ops 6 Zombies
Zombies fans will remember the PPSh-41 fondly for its rapid fire rate and large magazine, making it a top choice for dealing with hordes while maintaining mobility. It's particularly effective in close-quarters maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here are the recommended attachments for the PPSh-41 in Zombies:
- Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
- Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Enhances Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Boosts Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, with slight penalties to Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Quickdraw Stock – Significantly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
- Steady Aim Laser – Enhances Hipfire Spread.
- Recoil Springs – Improves both Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Control.
This configuration makes the PPSh-41 both accurate and agile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that we've excluded attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their minimal benefits and increased recoil. To optimize your PPSh-41 loadout in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, enhance your reload speed and critical kill potential with Speed Cola and the Classic Formula Major Augment, and use the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC*.
