Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

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:

• Compensator – Enhances Vertical Recoil Control.
• Long Barrel – Increases Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II – Boosts 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 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:

• 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 collect Bounty Packs for additional Score.
• Perk 3: Double Time – Extends the duration of Tactical Sprint.
• Perk Greed: Scavenger – Replenishes 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 eliminating foes.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* features a different set of available attachments and perks, requiring adjustments to your PPSh-41 loadout. Stick with the above build but swap the Extended Mag II for Recoil Springs, as the former isn't 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

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:

• Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
• Long Barrel – Boosts Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Enhances Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II – Significantly increases 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 – Greatly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
• Steady Aim Laser – Improves Hipfire Spread.
• Recoil Springs – Enhances both Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Control.

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.
