Season 2 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone marks the return of a *Call of Duty* icon: the PPSh-41. This highly effective SMG boasts unique advantages in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. Below, we detail the optimal PPSh-41 loadouts for each.

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 quickest access, disable auto-spending of Battle Pass Tokens to focus on unlocking the SMG. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, allowing immediate access to Page 6 and the PPSh-41.

Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

The PPSh-41’s high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat, delivering impressive multi-kills. However, its recoil can hinder accuracy and headshot consistency. 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 (penalizes 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 necessitates ammo conservation. Complement this aggressive playstyle 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, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration boosts after kills.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play offers a different selection of attachments and perks. Maintain the above build, replacing Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs (as Extended Mag II is unavailable). Use these 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

The PPSh-41's high rate of fire and magazine capacity make it a zombie-slaying powerhouse, especially effective in close-quarters maps like The Tomb. Use these attachments:

• 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 (penalizes 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 omit attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their relatively weak performance compared to their recoil increase.

Maximize your PPSh-41’s potential in Zombies by using Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and 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.
