Top PPSh-41 Loadouts for Optimal Performance in Black Ops 6

The PPSh-41, a Call of Duty classic, returns in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2. This high-capacity, high-fire-rate SMG excels in different ways across game modes. Here's a guide to optimal PPSh-41 loadouts for Multiplayer and Zombies.

Unlocking the PPSh-41

The PPSh-41 is unlocked via the Season 2 Battle Pass. It's a High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. For faster access, disable "Auto: Off" for Battle Pass Tokens and strategically spend them. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 6 (and the PPSh-41) readily accessible.

Best Multiplayer Loadout

The PPSh-41's high rate of fire makes it a close-quarters powerhouse in Multiplayer. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout prioritizes accuracy and mobility:

• Compensator: Reduces vertical recoil.
• Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
• Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine capacity to 55 rounds (note the penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
• Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and overall movement speed.

Recommended Perks:

• Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
• Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs for extra score.
• Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
• Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from downed enemies. This combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for enhanced speed and health regeneration after kills.

Ranked Play Adjustments

Ranked Play restricts some attachments. Use the above build, substituting Recoil Springs for Extended Mag II (since it's unavailable in Ranked). Optimal Ranked Perks are:

• Dexterity
• Fast Hands
• Double Time
• Flak Jacket

Best Zombies Loadout

The PPSh-41's high fire rate and magazine size are ideal for horde control in Zombies. This loadout balances accuracy and mobility:

• Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
• Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
• Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity.
• Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
• Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
• Recoil Springs: Improves both vertical and horizontal recoil control.

To optimize performance, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and Deadshot Daiquiri with the Dead Head Major Augment for increased critical damage.

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