With Season 2 of *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, one of the most iconic *Call of Duty* weapons has made its triumphant return. The PPSh-41, a highly effective Submachine Gun (SMG), offers unique advantages in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. Let's dive into the best PPSh-41 loadouts for each mode to help you dominate the battlefield.

How to Unlock the PPSh-41 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

In *Call of Duty* Season 2, the PPSh-41 is unlockable 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 unlock the PPSh as quickly as possible, set your Battle Pass Tokens to Auto: Off, allowing you to strategically spend them on the items needed to secure the SMG. 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 without delay.

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 racking up multi-kills. However, its significant recoil can challenge your aim, especially when aiming for headshots during camo challenges. Here are the best attachments to optimize your PPSh-41 in Multiplayer:

• Compensator – Improves Vertical Recoil Control.
• Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II – Vastly improves Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 rounds per magazine to 55. Note that it comes with penalties to 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.

With this setup, the PPSh-41 becomes much more accurate and gains a larger magazine, enhancing mobility and making it ideal for flanking and surprise attacks. However, its fast fire rate can quickly deplete your ammo. To maximize its aggressive potential, consider these perks:

• Perk 1: Flak Jacket – Reduces incoming explosive and fire damage.
• Perk 2: Assassin – Enemies on a kill streak get a unique minimap marker and drop Bounty Packs when killed. Pick up the Packs for more Score.
• Perk 3: Double Time – Greatly increased duration of Tactical Sprint.
• Perk Greed: Scavenger – Resupply ammo and Equipment from killed enemies.

These perks will grant you the Enforcer Combat Specialty, temporarily boosting your movement speed and health regeneration rate when you take down enemies.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* features a different set of attachments and perks, requiring you to adapt your PPSh-41 loadout. Use the same build as above, but replace the Extended Magazine II with Recoil Springs, as the former is unavailable 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 have a special place in their hearts for the PPSh-41. Its rapid fire rate and large magazine capacity provide exceptional damage per second, making it a top choice for mowing down hordes while staying on the move. This is especially effective in close-quarters Zombies maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here are the ideal attachments for your PPSh-41 in Zombies mode:

• Suppressor – Chance to drop extra salvage.
• Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II – Vastly improves Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 rounds per magazine to 55. Note the penalties to Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
• Quickdraw Stock – Vastly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
• Steady Aim Laser – Improves Hipfire Spread.
• Recoil Springs – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control and Vertical Recoil Control.

This configuration makes the PPSh-41 both accurate and mobile, perfect for securing critical kills. You might notice the absence of popular attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire; these are less effective for the PPSh-41 due to their significant increase in recoil.

To enhance your PPSh-41's performance in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, focus on improving reload time and critical kill capabilities. Utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and pair it with the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost your critical damage.

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