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 automatic Battle Pass token spending and strategically allocate tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 6 (and the PPSh-41) readily available.
Best Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine in close-quarters combat. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout mitigates that:
- Compensator: Reduces vertical recoil.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine size to 55 rounds (note penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
Recommended Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs.
- Double Time: Extends tactical sprint duration.
- Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from kills. This unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for increased movement speed and health regeneration after kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play restricts some attachments. Use the above build, replacing Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs (as Extended Mag II is unavailable). Optimal Ranked Perks are:
- Dexterity
- Fast Hands
- Double Time
- Flak Jacket
Best Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's rapid fire rate and large magazine are ideal for horde control in Zombies. This loadout prioritizes accuracy and mobility:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
For optimal performance, utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and 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.
