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 the optimal loadouts for each.
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 "Auto: Off" for Battle Pass Tokens and strategically spend them. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 6 and the PPSh-41 readily available.
Best Multiplayer PPSh-41 Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat in Multiplayer. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout addresses that:
- Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
- Long Barrel: Increases damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine capacity 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 flanking and surprise attacks effective. To complement this aggressive playstyle, use these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket (reduces explosive and fire damage)
- Perk 2: Assassin (highlights killstreaks, provides Bounty Packs)
- Perk 3: Double Time (extended Tactical Sprint duration)
- Perk Greed: Scavenger (ammo and equipment resupply)
This perk combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration boosts upon kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play has restricted attachments. Maintain the above build, replacing Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs (as Extended Mag II is unavailable). Use these perks instead:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Best Zombies PPSh-41 Loadout
The PPSh-41 shines in Zombies due to its high fire rate and magazine size. This loadout maximizes its horde-clearing potential:
- Suppressor: Chance of extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity to 55 rounds (note penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves Aim Down Sight speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
This build balances accuracy and mobility. Avoid attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their negative impact on recoil. Use Speed Cola (Classic Formula Major Augment) for faster reloads and Deadshot Daiquiri (Dead Head Major Augment) for increased critical damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
