With the launch of Season 2 in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, fans are thrilled to see the iconic PPSh-41 SMG make a triumphant return. This powerful weapon offers unique advantages in 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 Submachine Gun as the High Value Target on Page 6, and there's an Ultra rarity Blueprint available on Page 14. To unlock the PPSh-41 as quickly as possible, make sure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off, allowing you to strategically use them to reach the necessary pages. Additionally, BlackCell owners for Season 2 can skip directly to one page of their choice and utilize included tier skips to swiftly access Page 6 and claim the PPSh-41.

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, managing its strong recoil is crucial to maintain accuracy, especially for headshots needed in camo challenges. Here's the optimal loadout:

• 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 – Improves Hipfire Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, and Movement Speed.

This setup significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and taking out groups unexpectedly. However, be mindful of its high ammo consumption due to the fast fire rate. To complement this 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 lets you pick up Bounty Packs for extra Score.
• Perk 3: Double Time – Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
• Perk Greed: Scavenger – Replenish ammo and equipment from fallen foes.

These perks, along with the Enforcer Combat Specialty, will enhance your movement speed and health regeneration after kills.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

In Ranked Play, where the available attachments and perks differ slightly, you'll need to tweak your PPSh-41 loadout. Use the same build as above, but swap the Extended Mag II for Recoil Springs, which are more suited to Ranked Play. Here are the recommended 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

Zombies players fondly remember the PPSh-41 for its fast fire rate and large magazine capacity, making it a top choice for mowing down hordes while staying on the move. This is especially effective in tight maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here are the recommended attachments:

• Suppressor – Increases 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 minor drawbacks 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 loadout ensures the PPSh-41 remains accurate and highly mobile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire are less beneficial for the PPSh-41 due to increased recoil without substantial benefits.

To further optimize your PPSh-41 loadout in Zombies, focus on improving reload speed and critical hit capabilities. Utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and Deadshot Daiquiri with the Dead Head Major Augment to enhance your critical damage output.
