In *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, the legendary PPSh-41 has made a triumphant return, captivating players with its effectiveness across different game modes. This iconic Submachine Gun is a game-changer in both Multiplayer and Zombies, and we're here to guide you through the best PPSh-41 loadouts for each.
How To Unlock the PPSh-41 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Unlocking the PPSh-41 during Season 2 of *Call of Duty* is straightforward if you know the Battle Pass. The classic SMG awaits as the High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. To get your hands on the PPSh as quickly as possible, set your Battle Pass Tokens to Auto: Off. This way, you can manually allocate them to unlock the SMG. If you're a BlackCell owner for Season 2, you have the advantage of instantly skipping to any page of your choice, allowing you to jump directly to Page 6 and claim the PPSh-41 right away.
Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer
In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41 shines with its high capacity and rapid fire rate, making it a powerhouse in close-quarters combat and perfect for racking up multi-kills. However, its recoil can be a challenge, especially when aiming for those coveted Headshots needed for camo challenges. Here's the optimal loadout to maximize its potential:
- Compensator – Enhances Vertical Recoil Control.
- Long Barrel – Boosts Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it slightly hampers Aim Down Sight 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 setup significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprise attacks. 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 allows you to pick up Bounty Packs for extra Score.
- Perk 3: Double Time – Extends the duration of Tactical Sprint.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger – Replenishes ammo and Equipment from defeated enemies.
These perks, combined with the Enforcer Combat Specialty, will boost your movement speed and health regeneration after kills, enhancing your aggressive gameplay.
PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play
Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* has its own set of rules and available attachments. Adjust your PPSh-41 loadout by replacing the Extended Mag II with Recoil Springs, as the former isn't available in Ranked Play. Here are the recommended perks for a competitive edge:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket

Best PPSh-41 Loadout for Black Ops 6 Zombies
Zombies fans will remember the PPSh-41 fondly for its high fire rate and magazine capacity, making it a top choice for dealing with hordes while maintaining mobility. It's particularly effective in close-quarters maps like The Tomb. Here's the ideal setup for *Black Ops 6* Zombies:
- Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
- Long Barrel – Enhances Damage Range.
- Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
- Extended Mag II – Boosts Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, with minor penalties to Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Quickdraw Stock – Significantly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
- Steady Aim Laser – Enhances Hipfire Spread.
- Recoil Springs – Improves both Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Control.
This configuration makes the PPSh-41 both accurate and agile, perfect for critical kills in Zombies. Note that we've excluded attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their minimal benefits and increased recoil. To optimize your PPSh-41 in Zombies, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment to improve reload time, and the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost critical damage.
*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC*.
