Best PPSh-41 Loadouts for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies

Season 2 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone brings back a *Call of Duty* classic: the PPSh-41. This highly effective SMG shines in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes, offering unique advantages in each. Let's dive into the optimal loadouts.

How To Unlock the PPSh-41 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

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 to focus on unlocking the SMG. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 6—and the PPSh-41—easily attainable.

Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat, racking up impressive multi-kills. However, its recoil can be challenging. This loadout mitigates that:

• Compensator: Improves Vertical Recoil Control.
• Long Barrel: Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity to 55 rounds (from 32), impacting ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Balanced Stock: Improves hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.

This build enhances accuracy, magazine size, and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprising enemies. Its high fire rate means ammo management is key. Pair it with these perks:

• Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
• Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreaks on the minimap 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 combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, boosting movement speed and health regeneration after kills.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play has different attachment and perk options. Use the above build, replacing Extended Mag II (unavailable in Ranked) with Recoil Springs. These are the recommended Ranked perks:

• 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 players will appreciate the PPSh-41's high fire rate and magazine capacity for clearing hordes. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:

• Suppressor: Chance to drop extra salvage.
• Long Barrel: Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity to 55 rounds (from 32), impacting ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Quickdraw Stock: Vastly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
• Steady Aim Laser: Improves Hipfire Spread.
• Recoil Springs: Improves horizontal and vertical recoil control.

This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility. We've omitted attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their relatively weak impact compared to their recoil increase.

To further enhance performance, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
