The PPSh-41, a Call of Duty classic, returns in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2. This high-capacity, high-fire-rate SMG excels in close-quarters combat, but its recoil requires careful loadout consideration. Here's how to optimize it for Multiplayer and Zombies.
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 early access, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending. BlackCell owners can instantly access a page of their choice, making Page 6 and the PPSh-41 readily available.
Best PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout
Maximize the PPSh-41's Multiplayer effectiveness with this loadout:
- Compensator: Reduces vertical recoil.
- Long Barrel: Extends 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 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.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment.
This perk combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration boosts upon kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
For Ranked Play, replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks:
- 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. Use this Zombies loadout:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves recoil control.
Avoid attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their negative impact on recoil. Enhance your performance further with 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.
