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 the 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. For early 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 readily accessible.

Best Multiplayer PPSh-41 Loadout

The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat in Black Ops 6 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: Boosts magazine size to 55 rounds (note: penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
• Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.

This build 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 (marks killstreaks, provides Bounty Packs).
• Perk 3: Double Time (extended tactical sprint).
• Perk Greed: Scavenger (ammo and equipment resupply).

This perk combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration upon kills.

Ranked Play Adjustments

Ranked Play requires adjustments. Use the above build, substituting Recoil Springs for Extended Mag II (unavailable in Ranked). The recommended perks are:

• Perk 1: Dexterity
• Perk 2: Fast Hands
• Perk 3: Double Time
• Perk 4: Flak Jacket

Best Zombies PPSh-41 Loadout

The PPSh-41's high fire rate and magazine size make it a Zombie horde-clearing powerhouse. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:

• Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
• Long Barrel: Increased damage range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improved horizontal recoil.
• Extended Mag II: Increased magazine size to 55 rounds (note: penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
• Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improved ADS speed.
• Steady Aim Laser: Improved hipfire accuracy.
• Recoil Springs: Improved 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.
