With Season 2 of *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, the legendary PPSh-41 has made a thrilling comeback. This iconic Submachine Gun (SMG) brings unique advantages to both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. Let's dive into the best PPSh-41 loadouts for *Black Ops 6* to maximize your gameplay experience.
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 through the Battle Pass. You can find this classic SMG as the High Value Target on Page 6, and there's an Ultra rarity Blueprint waiting for you on Page 14. To get your hands on the PPSh as quickly as possible, ensure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off. This way, you can strategically spend them to unlock the SMG faster. If you're a Season 2 BlackCell owner, you have the advantage of instantly skipping to one page of your choice. Combine this with the included tier skips to jump straight to Page 6 and claim your PPSh-41 right away.
Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer
In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41 shines with its high capacity and rapid fire rate, making it perfect for close-quarters combat and achieving multi-kills. However, its significant recoil can challenge your aim, especially when aiming for those crucial Headshots needed for camo challenges. Here's the optimal loadout for the PPSh-41 in Multiplayer:
- Compensator – Enhances Vertical Recoil Control.
- Long Barrel – Boosts Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it slightly reduces Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Balanced Stock – Enhances Hipfire Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, and overall Movement Speed.
This setup significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and taking out groups of enemies. However, its high fire rate means you'll burn through ammo quickly. To complement its aggressive playstyle, consider these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket – Reduces damage from explosives and fire.
- Perk 2: Assassin – Marks enemies on kill streaks on the minimap and allows you to pick up Bounty Packs for extra Score.
- Perk 3: Double Time – Extends the duration of Tactical Sprint.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger – Resupplies ammo and Equipment from defeated enemies.
These perks, combined with the Enforcer Combat Specialty, grant a temporary boost to movement speed and health regeneration after kills, enhancing your aggressive gameplay.
PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play
Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* has a different set of available attachments and perks. Adjust your PPSh-41 loadout by replacing the Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs, as the former is not 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 fans will remember the PPSh-41 fondly for its fast fire rate and large magazine capacity, which translates to high damage per second. This makes it an excellent choice for mowing down hordes while maintaining mobility, especially in close-quarters maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here's the ideal loadout for the PPSh-41 in Zombies:
- Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
- Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Enhances Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Boosts Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, with slight penalties to Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Quickdraw Stock – Significantly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
- Steady Aim Laser – Improves Hipfire Spread.
- Recoil Springs – Enhances both Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Control.
This configuration makes the PPSh-41 both accurate and agile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that we've excluded attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their minimal benefits and increased recoil for the PPSh-41.
To optimize your PPSh-41 loadout in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, focus on improving your reload speed and critical kill potential. Utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and enhance your critical damage with the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri.
