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 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 quicker access, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending and strategically allocate tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly unlock Page 6.

Optimal Multiplayer Loadout

The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate shine 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: Boosts magazine size to 55 rounds (note: penalties to 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 killstreaks and provides bounty packs.
• Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
• Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment.

This setup, combined with the Enforcer Combat Specialty (granted by the perks), offers superior accuracy, magazine size, and mobility.

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 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: Improves damage range.
• Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil.
• Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds (with associated penalties).
• Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
• Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
• Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.

For optimal performance, use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and Deadshot Daiquiri with the Dead Head Major Augment to enhance reload speed and critical hit damage.
