The excitement of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* Season 2 brings back a fan-favorite—the legendary PPSh-41. This iconic Submachine Gun (SMG) excels in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes, thanks to its high capacity and rapid fire rate. Here's how to unlock it and the best loadouts for each mode to maximize its potential.
How To Unlock the PPSh-41 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
In *Call of Duty* Season 2, unlocking the PPSh-41 is straightforward but requires some strategy. You can find it as a High Value Target on Page 6 of the Battle Pass, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint available on Page 14. To unlock the PPSh-41 as quickly as possible, ensure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off, allowing you to manually select and unlock the SMG. If you're a BlackCell owner for Season 2, you can instantly skip to any page, including Page 6, to get the PPSh-41 right away using the included tier skips.
Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer
In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41 shines in close-quarters combat, making it perfect for aggressive playstyles and multi-kills. However, its high recoil can be challenging, especially when aiming for headshots needed for camo challenges. Here's the optimal loadout for Multiplayer:
- Compensator – Enhances Vertical Recoil Control.
- Long Barrel – Boosts Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Significantly increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it impacts Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Balanced Stock – Improves Hipfire Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, and Movement Speed.
This setup makes the PPSh-41 more accurate and mobile, ideal for flanking and surprise attacks. Its high fire rate means you'll burn through ammo quickly, so consider these perks to complement your aggressive play:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket – Reduces damage from explosives and fire.
- Perk 2: Assassin – Marks enemies on kill streaks on the minimap and lets you pick up Bounty Packs for more Score.
- Perk 3: Double Time – Increases the duration of Tactical Sprint.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger – Allows ammo and Equipment resupply from killed enemies.
These perks grant the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing a temporary boost to movement speed and health regeneration when you take down enemies.
PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play
Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* has different rules and available attachments. Adjust your PPSh-41 loadout by swapping the Extended Mag II for Recoil Springs, which are available in Ranked Play. Here are the recommended perks for Ranked Play:
- 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 adore the PPSh-41 for its rapid fire rate and high magazine capacity, making it a top choice for dealing with hordes on the move. It's particularly effective in close-quarters maps like The Tomb. Here's the ideal setup for Zombies:
- Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
- Long Barrel – Boosts Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, with penalties to Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Quickdraw Stock – Significantly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
- Steady Aim Laser – Enhances Hipfire Spread.
- Recoil Springs – Improves both Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Control.
This configuration ensures the PPSh-41 remains accurate and mobile, perfect for critical kills in Zombies. Note that attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire are less effective due to their impact on recoil. To enhance your PPSh-41 performance in Zombies, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment to improve reload time, and the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, offering players a chance to experience the thrill of the PPSh-41 in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes.
