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 obtainable through the Season 2 Battle Pass. It's featured as a High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. To expedite unlocking, disable "Auto: Off" for Battle Pass Tokens and strategically spend them. BlackCell owners can instantly access a page of their choice, allowing immediate acquisition of the PPSh-41 from Page 6.
Best Multiplayer Loadout
The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine in close-quarters combat in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer. 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: Boosts magazine capacity to 55 rounds (note: penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
This setup prioritizes accuracy and mobility. Pair it with these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket (reduced explosive/fire damage)
- Perk 2: Assassin (killstreak markers and Bounty Packs)
- Perk 3: Double Time (extended tactical sprint)
- Perk Greed: Scavenger (ammo/equipment resupply)
This combination unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for enhanced movement and health regeneration after kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play necessitates modifications. Replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Best Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41's high rate of fire and magazine size make it a Zombie-slaying powerhouse. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Increased damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improved horizontal recoil.
- Extended Mag II: Increased magazine capacity (with inherent penalties).
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improved Aim Down Sights speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improved hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Enhanced recoil control.
Avoid attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire due to their negative impact on recoil. Enhance your performance with Speed Cola (Classic Formula Major Augment) for faster reloads and Deadshot Daiquiri (Dead Head Major Augment) for increased critical hit damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
