The iconic PPSh-41 SMG returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2, proving effective in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. This guide details 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 faster access, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending and strategically allocate tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, allowing immediate PPSh-41 acquisition.
Optimal 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 control.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine capacity to 55 rounds (Note: impacts ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
Recommended Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Assassin: Highlights killstreaked enemies and provides Bounty Packs.
- Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from downed enemies. This combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for enhanced movement and health regeneration.
Ranked Play Adjustments
For Ranked Play, replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks:
- Dexterity
- Fast Hands
- Double Time
- Flak Jacket
Optimal Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's rapid fire rate and high capacity are ideal for horde control in Zombies. 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 capacity to 55 rounds (Note: impacts ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves Aim Down Sights speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
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 now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
