The PPSh-41, a highly effective Submachine Gun (SMG), boasts different advantages in each game mode. Below, we dive into the best PPSh-41 loadouts for *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer and Zombies, ensuring you get the most out of this classic weapon.

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

In *Call of Duty* Season 2, the PPSh-41 is unlockable through the Battle Pass. This classic SMG is available as the High Value Target on Page 6 and features an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. To unlock the PPSh as quickly as possible, ensure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off, allowing you to spend them precisely on what you need to unlock the SMG.

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 perfect for close-quarters combat and achieving impressive multi-kills. However, its strong recoil can challenge your accuracy, especially when aiming for headshots needed for camo challenges. Here are the optimal attachments 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 – Significantly increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it slightly reduces 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 makes the PPSh-41 more accurate and increases its magazine size and mobility, ideal for flanking and surprising enemy groups. However, its high fire rate means you'll burn through ammo quickly. To complement its aggressive playstyle, consider these perks:

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

These perks, when combined, grant the Enforcer Combat Specialty, temporarily boosting your movement speed and health regeneration rate after kills.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* has a different set of available attachments and perks, requiring adjustments to your PPSh-41 loadout. 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 for Ranked Play:

• 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 large magazine capacity, offering excellent damage per second and mobility. This makes it ideal for clearing hordes in close-quarters maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here are the recommended attachments 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 Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, with slight 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 ensures the PPSh-41 remains accurate and mobile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that popular attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire are omitted due to their weak performance relative to the increased recoil they cause.

To maximize your PPSh-41 loadout in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, focus on improving reload time and critical kill capabilities. Utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and enhance your critical damage with the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri.
