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 a Battle Pass reward in Black Ops 6 Season 2. It's found as a High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. To unlock it quickly, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending and prioritize purchases. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 6 easily accessible.
Best PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat in Multiplayer. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout mitigates that:
- Compensator: Improves vertical recoil.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds (though impacting ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
Pair this with the following perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreak enemies and provides Bounty Packs.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extends tactical sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from kills.
This setup, combined with the Enforcer Combat Specialty (movement speed and health regeneration buff upon kills), makes for a highly effective flanking weapon.
Ranked Play Adjustments
For Ranked Play, replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. 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 shines in Zombies, offering exceptional damage per second for crowd control. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil.
For optimal 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.
