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 weapon 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. For quicker access, disable auto-spending of Battle Pass Tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly unlock Page 6, immediately obtaining the PPSh-41.
Best Multiplayer PPSh-41 Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine in close-quarters combat. However, recoil management is crucial. This loadout mitigates 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.
Optimal Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs for extra score.
- Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from downed enemies. This unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for temporary speed and health regeneration boosts.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play restricts the Extended Mag II. Replace it with Recoil Springs. Use these perks instead:
- Dexterity
- Fast Hands
- Double Time
- Flak Jacket
Best Zombies PPSh-41 Loadout
In Zombies, the PPSh-41's high fire rate and magazine size excel at crowd control. 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 size to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves Aim Down Sight speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both vertical and horizontal recoil control.
To maximize performance, use 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 now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
