The iconic PPSh-41 submachine gun returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2, proving its effectiveness in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. This guide details how to unlock it and provides optimal loadouts for each game mode.
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. To unlock it quickly, disable auto-spending of Battle Pass Tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly access a page of their choice, making Page 6 readily available.
Best Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel in close-quarters combat. 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.
Recommended Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Assassin: Highlights killstreaks and provides Bounty Packs.
- Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment. This combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for increased movement speed and health regeneration after kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
For Ranked Play, where Extended Mag II is unavailable, substitute it with Recoil Springs. Use these perks instead:
- Dexterity
- Fast Hands
- Double Time
- Flak Jacket
Best Zombies Loadout
In Zombies, the PPSh-41's high fire rate and magazine capacity are invaluable for crowd control. This loadout prioritizes accuracy and mobility:
- 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 Aim Down Sight speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
To optimize performance, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
