Top PPSh-41 Loadouts for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies

With the launch of Season 2 in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, the iconic PPSh-41 submachine gun makes a triumphant return. Known for its high capacity and rapid fire rate, the PPSh-41 is a versatile weapon that excels in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. Below, you'll find the best loadouts tailored for each mode to help you dominate the battlefield.

How to Unlock the PPSh-41 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

In Season 2 of *Call of Duty*, unlocking the PPSh-41 is straightforward through the Battle Pass. You can find this classic SMG as the High Value Target on Page 6, and there's an Ultra rarity Blueprint available on Page 14. To unlock it as quickly as possible, ensure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off, allowing you to manually allocate them to unlock the PPSh-41. If you're a Season 2 BlackCell owner, you have the advantage of instantly skipping to one page of your choice, which, combined with tier skips, lets you jump directly to Page 6 and grab the PPSh-41 right away.

Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41 shines in close-quarters combat, thanks to its high fire rate and large magazine capacity. However, managing its recoil is crucial to maintaining accuracy, especially for those aiming to complete camo challenges. Here's the optimal setup for the PPSh-41 in Multiplayer:

• Compensator – Enhances vertical recoil control.
• Long Barrel – Boosts damage range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves horizontal recoil control.
• Extended Mag II – Increases magazine capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it slightly penalizes ADS speed, reload quickness, and sprint to fire speed.
• Balanced Stock – Enhances hipfire movement speed, strafing movement speed, sprint to fire speed, and overall movement speed.

This configuration significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it an excellent choice for flanking and taking out groups of enemies. However, its high fire rate means you'll burn through ammo quickly. To complement this aggressive playstyle, consider these perks:

• Perk 1: Flak Jacket – Reduces damage from explosives and fire.
• Perk 2: Assassin – Marks enemies on kill streaks on the minimap and drops Bounty Packs upon their death, which you can collect for additional score.
• Perk 3: Double Time – Increases the duration of Tactical Sprint.
• Perk Greed: Scavenger – Allows you to resupply ammo and equipment from defeated enemies.

These perks, along with the Enforcer Combat Specialty, grant a temporary boost to movement speed and health regeneration after eliminating enemies.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Given the different set of available attachments and perks in Ranked Play, you'll need to modify your PPSh-41 loadout slightly. Use the same build as above but replace the Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs, as the former is not available in Ranked Play. Here are the recommended perks:

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

Best PPSh-41 Loadout for Black Ops 6 Zombies

The PPSh-41 is a fan-favorite in Zombies mode due to its fast fire rate and high magazine capacity, which results in excellent damage per second. This makes it an ideal weapon for taking down hordes of zombies while maintaining mobility, particularly in close-quarters maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here's the best loadout for the PPSh-41 in Zombies:

• Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
• Long Barrel – Improves damage range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Enhances horizontal recoil control.
• Extended Mag II – Boosts magazine capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, with penalties to ADS speed, reload quickness, and sprint to fire speed.
• Quickdraw Stock – Greatly improves aim down sight speed.
• Steady Aim Laser – Improves hipfire spread.
• Recoil Springs – Enhances both horizontal and vertical recoil control.

This setup makes the PPSh-41 highly accurate and mobile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that we've excluded the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire attachments due to their minimal benefits and significant recoil increase.

To maximize your PPSh-41's effectiveness in Zombies, focus on improving reload speed and critical kill potential. Use the Speed Cola perk with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and pair it with the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
