The PPSh-41, a Call of Duty classic, returns in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2. This highly effective SMG boasts distinct advantages in each game mode. Here's a guide to the optimal PPSh-41 loadouts for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies.
Unlocking the PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is unlocked via the Season 2 Battle Pass. It's featured as a High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. To expedite unlocking, 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.
Optimal PPSh-41 Loadout: Multiplayer
In Multiplayer, the PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine in close-quarters combat, facilitating impressive multi-kills. 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: Boosts 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.
This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprising enemies. Pair it with these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreak enemies 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 combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration upon kills.
PPSh-41 Loadout Adjustments for Ranked Play
Ranked Play necessitates adjustments. Use the above build, substituting Recoil Springs for Extended Mag II (as the latter is unavailable). Utilize these perks:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Optimal PPSh-41 Loadout: Zombies
The PPSh-41's high rate of fire and magazine capacity make it a Zombie-slaying powerhouse. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- 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.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
This build balances accuracy and mobility. Avoid attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their negative impact on recoil. Enhance your performance with Speed Cola (Classic Formula Major Augment) for faster reloads and Deadshot Daiquiri (Dead Head Major Augment) for increased critical damage.
