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

Season 2 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone has brought 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 explore 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 faster 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) readily available.

Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate make it a close-quarters powerhouse in Multiplayer, capable of 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), at the cost of ADS speed, reload speed, and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Balanced Stock: Improves hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.

This build prioritizes accuracy and magazine size, enhancing its flanking potential. To complement its aggressive style, use 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 with Recoil Springs (as Extended Mag II is unavailable). The recommended perks are:

• 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 is a Zombies favorite, excelling in horde control due to its high fire rate and capacity. 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), at the cost of ADS speed, reload speed, 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 balances 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 the PPSh-41, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost reload speed and critical hit damage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
