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

With Season 2 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone, the iconic PPSh-41 submachine gun makes a triumphant return. This highly effective SMG boasts unique advantages in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. Let's dive into the optimal loadouts for each.

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 early access, disable automatic Battle Pass Token spending to focus on unlocking the SMG. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to any page, making Page 6 (and the PPSh-41) readily available.

Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

In Multiplayer, the PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate dominate close-quarters combat, easily racking up multi-kills. However, its recoil can hinder accuracy, especially for headshots. This loadout mitigates that:

• Compensator: Improves Vertical Recoil Control.
• Long Barrel: Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine capacity from 32 to 55 rounds (minor penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
• Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.

This build significantly improves accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprising enemies. Its high fire rate necessitates aggressive play. Pair it with these perks:

• Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
• Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreaks on the minimap, offering 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, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration boosts after kills.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play offers a slightly altered selection of attachments and perks. Maintain the above build, replacing Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs (as Extended Mag II is unavailable). Use these 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

The PPSh-41 is a Zombies legend. Its rapid fire rate and large magazine size deliver exceptional damage per second, perfect for clearing hordes while maintaining mobility. This is particularly effective on close-quarters maps like The Tomb. Use these attachments:

• 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 (minor penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
• Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves Aim Down Sight speed.
• Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
• Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.

This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility. Popular attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire are omitted due to their relatively weak impact on the PPSh-41, especially considering the recoil increase.

To maximize your PPSh-41's potential in Zombies, enhance reload speed and critical hit capabilities. Use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
