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 how to unlock it and outlines optimal loadouts for each game mode.
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 attainable.
Best PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine in close-quarters combat in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout addresses that:
- Compensator: Reduces vertical recoil.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine size to 55 rounds (note: penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
This setup prioritizes accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking maneuvers. Pair it with these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides 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 selection unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration boosts upon eliminating enemies.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play restricts some attachments. Maintain the above build, substituting Recoil Springs for Extended Mag II (since it's unavailable in Ranked). Use these perks instead:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Best PPSh-41 Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's high rate of fire and magazine size are exceptionally useful in Black Ops 6 Zombies, particularly on close-quarters maps. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds (with the usual penalties).
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
This build emphasizes accuracy and mobility. To optimize performance, utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical hit damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
