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 the 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 auto-spending of Battle Pass tokens. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to any page, making Page 6 readily accessible.
Optimal PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout

The PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate excel 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: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds (at the cost of ADS speed, reload speed, 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 from downed enemies. This unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty for a temporary movement and health regeneration boost.
Ranked Play Adjustments
For Ranked Play, replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks instead:
- Dexterity
- Fast Hands
- Double Time
- Flak Jacket
Optimal PPSh-41 Zombies Loadout

The PPSh-41's high fire rate and magazine capacity make it ideal for horde control in Zombies. This loadout focuses on accuracy and mobility:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds.
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both vertical and horizontal recoil control.
Enhance your PPSh-41 performance with Speed Cola (Classic Formula Major Augment) for faster reloads and Deadshot Daiquiri (Dead Head Major Augment) for increased critical damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
