The iconic PPSh-41 submachine gun returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2, proving effective in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. This guide details optimal loadouts for each.
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. To expedite unlocking, disable auto-spending of Battle Pass Tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to any page, making Page 6 and the PPSh-41 readily accessible.
Optimal Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout mitigates that:
- Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity to 55 rounds (though impacting ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
Recommended Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs.
- Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment.
This combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, boosting movement speed and health regeneration after kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
For Ranked Play, replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks:
- Dexterity
- Fast Hands
- Double Time
- Flak Jacket
Optimal Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's rapid fire rate and large magazine are ideal for horde control in Zombies. This loadout prioritizes 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 to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
For enhanced performance, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and Deadshot Daiquiri with the Dead Head Major Augment to boost critical hit damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
