With the arrival of Season 2 in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, fans are thrilled to see the return of the iconic PPSh-41. This highly effective Submachine Gun (SMG) brings different advantages to the game's various modes. Here's a guide to the best PPSh-41 loadouts for *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer and Zombies.
In *Call of Duty* Season 2, unlocking the PPSh-41 is straightforward through the Battle Pass. You'll find this classic SMG as the High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint available on Page 14. To get your hands on the PPSh-41 as quickly as possible, ensure your Battle Pass Tokens are set to Auto: Off. This allows you to strategically allocate your tokens to unlock the SMG. If you're a Season 2 BlackCell owner, you have the advantage of instantly skipping to one page of your choice. Combine this with the included tier skips to jump directly to Page 6 and secure the PPSh-41 right away.
In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41's high capacity and rapid fire rate make it a powerhouse in close-quarters combat, perfect for securing multi-kills. However, its significant recoil can challenge accuracy, especially when aiming for those crucial headshots needed for camo challenges. Here's the optimal loadout for the PPSh-41 in Multiplayer:
This configuration significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it ideal for flanking and surprise attacks on enemy groups. Keep in mind, its rapid fire rate can deplete ammo quickly. To maximize its aggressive playstyle, consider these perks:
These perks, when combined, grant the Enforcer Combat Specialty, temporarily boosting your movement speed and health regeneration rate after eliminating foes.

Zombies enthusiasts will appreciate the PPSh-41's return, known for its high fire rate and large magazine capacity, which translates to exceptional damage per second. This makes it an excellent choice for mowing down zombie hordes while maintaining mobility, particularly in close-quarters maps like The Tomb in *Black Ops 6*. Here's the ideal setup for the PPSh-41 in Zombies:
This loadout ensures the PPSh-41 remains accurate and agile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire are omitted due to their weak performance and increased recoil on the PPSh-41.
To optimize your PPSh-41 loadout in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, focus on improving reload speed and critical kill potential. Utilize Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment, and enhance your critical damage with the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri.
